Come On In!

Now this was fun!  It took a long time but it's pretty much the way I wanted it to turn out.  The little doors lead to myself.  They can be opened and closed and they signify that when I'm here journaling I'm me.  It's one place in the world that is totally mine. I put little fasteners for knobs on the door and tied them together with a ribbon.  Inside is a vista which is a graphic from Graphics Fairy.  So are some of the other graphics - the pig, the funny little girl, the big bird and rose, the nest with the checkered eggs is from a MacKenzie-Childs catalog.  Now aren't you just itching to have your own special place?  It's easy, just get an empty notebook or even a notebook, cut out and paste some wonderful images, add your own thoughts and your on your way!!!!

The Ritual

This is where I really enjoy working on my journals every day.  First thing in the morning my husband has the tv on watching the news politics.  I have almost everything in the world I need, coffee, pens, markers, images, scissors, old magazines and catalogs,  tape, and sometimes my little dog near me on the recliner. While my husband cusses the world affairs I'm happily lost in my papers.  What a lovely mess huh??    Diane
