Expressing feelings of gratitude…

A second page in my new journal.
Remembering the day I took hundred’s of nature photos and collected seeds with an old friend.
Putting paint to pages of a book is very freeing.
This was a cookbook I never used.
All it did was take up space,
so…
a new journal is born.
Little bits of this and that hoarded over time.
Such as the paint strip.
Bayou blue is the color Big J picked for his room.
It reminds me of medical scrubs but whatever…he likes it.
Pieces of projects and experiments.
Like bits of rusted fabric.
Polymer clay leaves from the one and only time I crafted with it. Yuck! Hate the smell of that stuff.
As well as a deconstructed silk flower that I used a script rubber stamp across for interest.
I’ve been blessed this week with some wonderful gifts from some wonderful ladies.
First I got this wonderful little journal from my dear friend Elizabeth.
She knows I have a fondness for pink, so she was sure to include many splashes throughout.
It truly was a gift from the heart…
Thank you so much Elizabeth.
Next my mom made a nice big batch of sandbakkles.
They are a traditional Norwegian cookie.
The kids are loving them.
Yesterday I met my knitting group for lunch.
Afterward I was given this yummy plates of goodies for the kids by our “teacher”.
How sweet is that?!? No pun intended.
Congrats Jean!! I’ll email you privately for your mailing address and your choice of journals.
I can scarcely believe that I’ve written that many posts!
And even more shocking is the fact that you all are still here reading after all this time.
Especially considering that I’ve been in quite a dry spell lately.
With that said, I’d like to reward one of you for sticking with me by sending you one of my newly created scrap journals.
All you need to do is leave a comment on this post, making sure I have some way to contact you if you are the winner.
I’ll draw the winning name on November 27th.
The winner will have their choice of cover designs.
Easy peasy, right!?!?
I’ve been working on loom knitting again. I have an order for 10 dishcloths and am expecting I’ll be getting a few more orders real soon. I decided to use some of my scraps of yarn to give some visual interest to these cloths. Waste not, want not.
As long as I was thinking scrappy…
I put together the first in a series of journals. The cover is a print of one of my kaleidoscopes. I believe this one started as a rose.
I love the look of all the different papers. It’s up to the recipient to decide how to use them.
