Courtship Journal and Keepsake

Click here to edit subtitle

This book began as an inspiration from the Lord as I was searching for a gift for a dear niece. Unable to find what I was searching for, I bought a blank journal to create the one I had envisioned for her.

The Courtship Journal and Keepsake is the result. (Also look for it on Pinterest! I've got some neat boards that my daughter is helping to manage.)

I purposefully did not look at any premarital counseling books (or any other type of marriage preparation books) while I was working on this. I wanted the questions to be ones that perhaps aren't normally found in those types of books. Questions designed to enable two people to get to know each other through a courtship in the hopes of creating a relationship which honors God and each other.
My husband, Kyle, and I have been married for 23 years;  we home school our 2 daughters, and live northeast of Houston, TX. I am an avid vocalist and enjoy musical theater, and truly love creating hand made greeting cards and paper-crafting projects. I offer classes and workshops for girls and ladies of all ages. See some of my creations below! (Most of them are made with Stampin' Up! products.)
This is a creation that I made with canvas, paint, and paper.... it was a fun afternoon!
This is another wall hanging made with paper and burlap ribbon. It's one of my favorite quotes.

And, one last wall hanging with paper and ribbon... I just love this quote attributed to Martin Luther and I totally agree.


A little bit of our story... we were set up by mutual friends. After Kyle proposed, (he later claimed that he didn't get to finish his proposal... I really thought that he was finished, and quite gladly accepted) we were married 3 months later... we did have lots of help from friends and family in planning, organizing, and decorating for the ceremony and reception. It really was the best day! We are still so grateful for all the assistance we received.
