{ September Journals }

Hello Friends! Happy September! I really cannot believe that summer is over and it is Labor Day weekend. It is such a short season here in Michigan, and this year seemed to start late due to rain and immediately went into heat!

I have been plugging away on various projects for an upcoming show. These little journals have a “Back to School” theme and are perfect for Midori style journals.

The little journals were created using Kraft cardstock, pattern papers, ephemera, some stamping, washi tape, and Tim Holtz Paper dolls. I have the insides with plain paper (20 sheets) so you can decorate them as you please.

I hope you are enjoying your Labor Day festivities.

{Dreamer of Dreams Junk Journal}

I wanted to share with you a recent book journal I made, using many colors from the Autumn palette. Many are shades that I never or rarely work with…like Yellow. Oranges, yellow, rusts, corals, reds, browns and sepia tones are just a few. There are many Children Illustration reprints through out as well. There are 3 signatures and the pages of patterned and blank papers are well over 100.

{Meet My New Grandson}

I would like to introduce you to my first Grandchild who was born Thursday, August 8, 2019. He weighed 8 pounds – 10 ounces and was 21 3/4 inches long.

My son Ian and his wife Heather, have decided to give him a Scottish name as well. I am pleased to introduce…Malcolm Stewart.

Stewart was my Dad’s first name, and my Great-Great Grandmother’s maiden name.

I have no words on how I feel about being a Grandma. Four days later, I still stare at his picture and tears flow. It doesn’t seem real because I waited for what I felt was a long time to become a Grandma.

Still pinching myself that he is here! :-)
