Purrrr-fect love notes

A tradition started when Miss A first went to school...so for 2 years before Miss J started school she received notes in her Lunch bag...I couldn't stop the tradition when Miss J started last year...
This one is a "cat bookmark" which Miss A would have found in her Lunch bag today....they're always kept a surprise...even though they try and sneak a peak when I am drawing them!
So, this is the 4th year in the running...wow...that's a lot of love notes! I try and draw something on each of them...but sometimes a note is all they get.
I didn't realise how much they love them until one day I forgot...I had better not repeat my forgetfulness...


You can see some of the Love notes here and here and here.


What do you do to tell your family that you love them everyday?


Have a great weekend.

LOVE notes x2

It can be quite a tear jerking and an emotional experience saying goodbye to your little ones the first day back at school...not just for us Mums, but for the little siblings too.

As you can tell, little miss A was VERY excited(a little nervous) about going back to school.

Little miss J starts next week.

So...I'm back into drawing a little something for our girls to open in their Lunch/snack packs...now Little A can read, I can add more words and thoughts for her.

Today I drew her on an Elephant. I am still sitting here with over 200 pieces of paper filled with sketches from the last 2 years which I have to either make a book from digital picture entries or create a scrapbook for her to keep.

Next week it will be the start of 2x the sketches per day!

I think I will need some pre-planning to help alieviate the stress of forgetting the lunch notes on some mornings...

What special something do you send to school with your little ones?

Ok...back to cleaning...and laundry and sketching this afternoon.

LOVE notes...

Today is a day to remember those who passed in the tragic 9-11 and to those families who have grieved and suffered loss.

I can't believe it has been so many years since those memories were first engraved on our brains.

Every day I send a note with a little sketch for our little Miss A in her snack bag. I want her to know that each day I think of her whilst she is enjoying school, and whilst I am not with her.
Some as you can see have been drawn in a mad rush because there have been a few days where we're one foot out the door and I have forgotten her note of Love from us.

I started this since her first day at Junior Kindergarten, Sept 2008.

A whole year has passed and the tradition is still going strong...but now has come the day to organise.

I'm planning on making a special memory book for her with all the notes in...

What would you do with them all?
