Days of Hope

The Days of Hope Diary is an annual publication created by a group of volunteers and funded by sponsors. Monies raised from the sale of the diary go to many worthwhile charities here and afar.

This year an up and coming British artist by the name of Lewis Chapman contributed works of art that separate each month of the diary.

Inspiring quotations are also used to go along with his artwork.

There are 4 days on each page. Just enough space for counting my blessings each and every day. I hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday. Best wishes, Tammy
P.S. The brownie a la mode was a hit!

    Your journal looks lovely and what a great book in which to record your thoughts and blessings.

    Dearest Tammy,

    At first glance I thought it is a leather journal to write in, like I've written for years. Got them at Neiman Marcus.
    This is a special one too, with great quotes that I LOVE. Used to have a day-by-day calender in Dutch with quotes and wisdom.

    Have a great week and glad you earned a lot of credit for those brownies!

    Love,

    Boy, that journal really looks nice. I love the pictures in it. Nice pictures an a quote to go with it makes for a nicely inspirational book. I know you will use yours well...
    I love that all the proceeds from the journal go to charity!!

    Love,
