Celebrations

I was disappointed in the condition of the book. It would have been nice to know that it had been written in quite extensively. I love Susan Branch Books and was looking forward to giving this one to my daughter to record special memories for her children. This book still had the tag on it from the Goodwill for 2.99 and I paid 10.97 for it. I would not have any complaints if it had not already been written in. What good is the book to record special events in when it is already written in?! Please let your buyers be aware that the book already has been written in!!!

It takes some discipline to remember to use this book. It does not have enough room to write all the notes for each celebration on one page. I was expecting a bit more from Susan on each page, but I had to remind myself that it was a journal of "Celebrations" and not the "Summer Book" (my favorite cookbook.) What a wonderful keepsake for those days when you look back on fond and warm memories of times spent with family and friends.

This is a perfect place to record special events and gatherings. I record not only group parties but also special occassions when just a couple of friends come over. Susan's art graces every page. The book is divided into the four seasons, winter, spring, summer and fall. A great gift.

I love Susan Branch's beautiful illustrations and ideas. This is a lovely, keepsake book with her usual touch. It provides lots of "journal" room to write personal reflections and has space for each season and holiday. I'm giving this book as a wedding gift coupled with a red "You are special today" plate. I hope it will be a treasured place to write down the couple's memories and special occasions throughout their relationship. You could also couple it with various holiday decorations for a shower or wedding gift.

This journal is so pretty! The pages are so different from just plain old white, and I don't want to mess it up! Buy it!
