this is a book i made right before we traveled to Taiwan to bring home our sweet baby girl. I was inspired by Ali Edwards and all her travel books--so decided to give it a try. I made the covers and put paper inside and traveled with one stamp, marker, stamp pad, and stapler...and then tried to journal and add memorabilia from our journey.so, it is stuffed with anticipation, airline tickets, heartfelt thoughts, brochures, taxi info, subway stubs, and lots of LOVE.
Gracen is one of the biggest blessings in my life....and an answer to so many prayers.
