Traveler’s Journal Spread

January 16, 2021

Hello!

Today, I am sharing a Traveler’s Journal spread I made a few days ago. I even got out some old stamps to create with. Digital papers, washi tape, dictionary ephemera, stamps, postage stamp, collage images.

I hope you are staying warm and safe wherever you are!

Studio Space Finds & Journaling

August 5, 2020

I just wanted to share my latest studio additions this past week. Miss Adelaide has a new vintage straw hat that was found at a recent shopping trip. I thought it suited her and she seems to like it too!

I have been trying to journal from time to time. Since my stroke effected my right side, learning to write was (and is) difficult. I don’t do it often, but drawing faint lines with a pencil really helped. I am sharing that spread with you.

My new banker’s chair was something I won on an online auction. The leading bid was $9.00, so I probably went a little too high at $23.00 but so happy that I did. It was quite the haul to go get it picked up too! I asked on Instagram if I should paint it white to match my studio or leave it. Leaving it seems to be what most favored. Tucker (my cat) loves it too. I plan to sew a chair pad for it as well.

Trying to journal…

April 24, 2020

Hello My Friend’s!

I hope this finds each of you well and staying safe in these uncertain times. It truly has been a different world right now.

Today, after nearly two months I made myself create something. Most of my days are spent reading, scanning (the photo scrapbook project), doing household chores and cooking. My cat enjoys my attention and play time as well.

It felt very strange to even try to journal and play with paper. Hopefully, this weekend I will again and start to make it part of my daily routine.

What have you been doing at home? Have you started any new hobbies? Any projects you have been putting off to complete? There is always something to do so I never am one to feel bored being home.

Stay safe!

{ Traveler’s Notebooks }

May 6, 2019

I really enjoyed working with Graphic 45 paper…to be honest I have never used it before. It sure is sturdy and the prints are gorgeous. The notebooks contain ephemera and plenty of spots to journal.

I recently discovered these fun notebooks on YouTube and decided it would be fun to make up a few for my shop and a gift for someone with musical talent.

I hope you can stop by my YouTube and see them in person!
