I have received an email that my Summer Time journal book finally arrived at my partner's home. When I got up this morning I had a nice email that the book was awaiting her when she arrived home yesterday. Makes my heart sing when someone enjoys what you have created and sent off to them. My partner, Avery does not have a blog, but says getting her book just may push her to start one so she could post about it. I wrapped her journal in a doily and she already has the doily out and in use. She also said she has her journal opened on the table next to her bed with a pen by it's side so she can enter her thoughts. I would like to thank Pam
http://fluffandfinery.blogspot.com/ for putting this fun swap together for us. I will post about my journal when it arrives. For now I will share what I created for Avery.
I used an accordian style journal and made digital, fabric, paper and glue pages. Added a pocket and put a few treasures in. Avery emailed me with her colors of choice, white, off white and blue the color of sea glass. I had so much fun putting this together.
Ready to send off.
The joy of finishing off before mailing.
