Hi friends . . . I just created four new journals that are for sale in the Etsy shop. (Link in comments) One is a "Wizard of Oz" theme, and the other three are so whimsical and inspiring, you will love them.

Some people have asked how I use the journals . . . so I am attaching a few images of journals of mine for you to see. I love to print photos and keep my thoughts, memories in the journals. They are so special - once you hold one in your hands, you will 'get' it.

Wishing you all love and creative time during this snowy afternoon, friends.

I absolutely LOVE when friends share photos of their recent projects with me . . . . dear Shoppe friend, Betty, purchased our Valentine LOVE letter kit from our Etsy Shop for her daughter Ashlee. A week later, Ashlee purchased one for her mom! Betty sent me the finished photo today . . . . I LOVE IT!! Such a great job, Betty! We still have two kits for sale in our Etsy shop - here is the link if you would like one of your own! Thanks Betty and Ashlee!!! Love to you both!

Hi friends!! I have been creating up a storm and found myself in the middle of handmade journaling bliss this week. Did you know that handmade journals are my most favorite craft to make? (Well, TODAY that is.) I've just added a number of them to my Etsy Shop - if you need a little retail therapy, take a stroll over there and enjoy!

Happy New Year, friends! To a year of joy, of creativity, of being true to ourselves and listening to what our hearts need.

I find myself in a huge state of unknowing right now. Trying to figure out my purpose - my direction - trying to be still and listen. Lately . . . all I hear are crickets.

When I am feeling “stuck”, one of the things I most love doing is grabbing a pile of my favorite magazines and cutting out images, words, anything that moves me. These pieces of ‘emotional sparkles’ will eventually end up in a handmade journal or a collage piece - where they will continue to inspire for years to come. That is my plan today. To pull out the warm hugs and soak them up . . . read and re-read them . . . as many times as it takes.

Wishing you a day of emotional sparkles, dear ones. And much much love.

Shoppe friends , I thought you would love to see what our dear friend Peggy did!! Unbeknownst to her, when we closed the Shoppe in September - we ended up giving her the umbrella stand and my sister, Laura’s, umbrella. (We were all laughing one day over who was going to take it - and we ended up sneaking it into Peggy’s car without her knowledge!) Today, Peggy gifted it back to me - fully decorated for the season. It made me so happy to see it, I think it HAS to become a permanent part of our holidays now. Love that Peggy!!
