Birthday Present









Check out this super cool (such a poor descriptive word, really) book that my friend, Sharon, made just for me for my birthday! She has such great ideas and imagination... words can't express how touched I always am by her handmade gifts. They have touches of our friendship embedded all through them and reflect how deeply she knows and understands me. I especially love the specific references to silly life events, like my recent visit from a bat... she includes with such humor... I will always remember that now when I see the book!

New Journal Pages






















My friend, Sharon, and I have been working and working on journal pages and having a great time! First I created lots of background pages in an altered book I decided to work on. Then I added pages as ideas came to me. Several ideas came from Visual Chronicles book by LInda Woods & Karne DInino. We have a lot of reference books on journaling. Another one I like is by Lynn Perrella, Artists Journals & Sketchbooks. I'm really happy with my results so far. We still have a few more days to play so it will be fun to see what we come up with!
