I know, I know, talk about slacking - it's been months since you've heard from me! I promise it's all with good reason, though! I'll blame it on this little thing called sorority recruitment...
For all you other sorority women and recruitment chairs out there, you know what I'm talking about! Long hours, no sleep...basically bootcamp! But, I must say that all the hard work and long hours paid off. I wouldn't trade it for the world! I mean, just take a look at our absolutely stunning new pledge class:
Seriously ahhh-mazing, am I right or am I right??
Well, I could just go on for hours and hours, but I have something else I've just been dyin' to share with y'all! Now listen closely lady-loves, because what I'm about to tell you is pretty darn important.
You know that stressful feeling we all get with birthdays and holidays approaching? You want to find the perfect gift, but you're just not sure what it is? Well, call off the hound dogs, because I've found it for you! That's right, I found you the absolute perfect gift for any and every occasion. Whether it's for Christmas, graduation, Mother's Day, Valentine's Day, anniversaries, engagement gifts, big/little baskets, birthdays, or just because, this gift will work for you!
Without further adu, let me introduce you to a company called Treasured Passages. They're the geniuses that created this fantastic gift that literally lasts a lifetime! It's called a Letter Book and they come in 4 different kinds: Mother-Daughter, Sister, Friend, and Couple. Before I get into explaining just what a letter book is, let me share this story with you about one of the company's founders:
Treasured Passages is a company started by three sorority women, because they saw a need for a product that would help people capture memories, while they were still there to capture.
When Whitney, one of the company founders, was 30 years old, her life was ticking along just as she had planned….great family, great job, great husband and she was pregnant with her first child. Then she found out her mother had cancer. Her mother ended up passing away 4 months later and would never know her grandchildren. Whitney was devastated.
Fast forward 5 years, Whitney discovered she had breast cancer. She was afraid that her children might not get to know her. That’s when she and her business partners decided that they needed to create something that would enrich relationships but also record the memories forever. Together, they came up with the idea of a letter book.
As I'm sure we've all realized at one point or another, life throws you curveballs and you never really know what can happen. That's why I believe so strongly in this amazing product. A Letter Book is "part journal, part letter, and part late-night conversation just waiting to be had. Each Letter Book contains a drawer in the back of the book with cards and envelopes. Each page has an activity to be completed – sometimes answering a few questions, and sometimes sending a letter. Once the task is complete, the answers or letters are stored in specially-designed spaces within the Letter Book. The result is a tailored, personal recording of the relationship bursting at the seams with secrets, insights and laughter."
With all of todays technology (you know our favorites: facebook, twitter, email, text messages, etc.), we've lost sight of that personal connection between people. This book allows you to record and keep your memories in one personalized, safe space, which can be passed down from generation to generation.
Here's a page from each of the 4 books to give you a little glimpse inside...
Mother-Daughter
Friends
Couples
Sisters
So, with Christmas right around the corner, consider this special gift for all those people in your life that mean so much to you! If you're interested in purchasing a book, or several, please send an email to treasuredpassages@gmail.com!
Until next time, xoxo.
