When I started creating notes for my daughter over 2-and-a-half years ago, I thought after the first week I would run out of ideas. In fact, one of the reasons I started posting these sketches online was to see if anyone else was doing something similar and I could gain inspiration from others. And yes, not surprisingly, there are all kinds of talented individuals making notes. I thought if I could craft notes for at least one month, I could write about some common themes so others could be inspired to start their own tradition.
