Busy creating...

I have a terrible time keeping this blog current. I find I just don't have the time. It isn't like I am not doing anything I am...I have been creating journals. Which have been quite a few lately...you can check out some of them in my etsy shop.





I recently created a "Strega Nona" journal for someone, made from a recycled book. She absolutely loved it! And I loved creating it. I have a wide variety to chose from, and I love doing custom orders.




















I am currently working on a "goth" journal...you can see the work in progress here.

Birthday Mini Journals....

It has been awhile since I wrote a post. I have been busy creating journals and trying to promote my Etsy shop. I have several new journals in my shop. These Birthday mini journals I just added yesterday. They are great for sharing that special occasion with loved ones. Add your special message, cropped photos, slip into the envelope, and mail away...or just keep it for yourself.

Colorful Spring Travel Journal

Spring is just around the corner....well for some of us, depending on where you all live. I decided to make a colorful travel journal...to get me in that mood of spring. This would be great for that summer vacations....or Caribbean cruise.

Spring Daily Journal-Pocket size

I love journals. I have received a few in my life as gifts. But every time I would sit to write those pages seemed so huge and overwhelming. So I decided to create one, that was not hard to fill the pages. I enjoy making journals...and I love these little pocket size ones. Great for jotting down those everyday moments of life. They slip easily into your purse or pocket.


If you are new to my blog welcome and thank you for visiting. I love creating journals. You can check out my etsy shop here.

Itty Bitty Passion....

I have a passion, an itty bitty passion, to create...it is calming to my soul. The smaller the project, the more I like it, as I know I will finish it.
Today I decided to make an ART Journal for myself. My daughter, Melissa, has made a few, you can check out one here. They are such a great idea to be able to create and try new techniques and keep it safe in a book. I made a couple of pages today.....and can't wait to make more.

Lil' Jarmon's Memory Journal

As I said in my previous post, our grandson's 1st Birthday is on Monday. Tomorrow we will have a grand celebration....lots of family and friends will be there to join us. My two daughters and I spent 7 hours today preparing food. Danielle, the mother of Jarmon, decided she wanted to make homemade cupcakes for her son's 1st birthday. Do you know how much time it takes to make 3 batches of homemade cupcakes and to frost them with homemade frosting? That's 72 cupcakes!! The flavors of the cupcakes are unique, cherry limeade, strawberry lemonade, and oreo cupcakes. (my daughter watches way to much of "Cupcake Wars"). Either way the cupcakes are delicious....and do taste so much better than those made from a box. After preparing the cupcakes we made up meat and cheese trays, veggie and fruit trays, artichoke and spinach dip too. So it made for a long day, but we had fun hanging out together. Well to get back to what the real reason of my post was...it was to show you another new journal I made. This one is to re-count the fabulous year we have had with this lil blessing . This one consists of 20 pages, 10 pockets, each holding a tag, and 32 pictures. Each tag is annotated with special things that happened through out the year, ie...1st tooth, 1st steps, favorite toys, etc....

A year of mini scrapbooks.....

Today has been a busy day. My grandson turns one on Monday, so I have been working on mini scrapbooks to show his 1st year. There are 12 mini scrapbooks for each month of 2010. Each scrapbook consists of 3 pockets, one each on the inside of front and back cover and one pocket in the middle. Each pocket holds at least one tag, which photos are attached to. The front cover is stamped with the month and photos added accordingly. I altered a box that I had saved awhile ago....not knowing then how handy it would be today. The box neatly holds all the mini scrapbooks.
