Yay!! I received my lovely package from Holly for the Create a Connection Journal Swap on Friday!!
What a fantastic journal! Holly picked out the perfect paper for me - thick enough that I can "sharpie-ize" without it bleeding through. THEN - she altered it for me!! She added great colors (my favorites - purple and green), quotes, great fibers down the spine. SO fun!! (The quote on the front says: "The most I can do for my friend is simply to be his friend." Henry David Thoreau.)
And for Photo Thursday (on Monday - late again!!) DebR asked us to do this:
"I want you to channel your inner magpie. (Even if you don't think you have one, try anyway!) Pretend for just a moment that you were suddenly, magically transformed into a magpie and have to go build a new nest. Look around you right now, in whatever room you're sitting in to read this post. What's the first shiny, colorful, and/or flashy thing that catches your eye and that you think your inner magpie would want for her nest?"
Now - my journal just lit up my inner magpie!! There was so much there that caught my eye for my "nest" so-to-speak!
4 Opinions:
I love your inner magpie. I want to come hang out in your nest while I don't feel good. It's so bright and colorful in there!!
I love the journal. It's beautiful!!
What a beautiful journal! I love the altered cover and the beautiful feathery spine! Isn't swap mail fun? :)
Glad the journal appeals to your inner magpie too!!! I've never decorated the spine of a book before, but it just didn't look right until I put all the fluffy and shiny ribbons and lace on it. I knew those nice thick pages were perfect for your sharpies!!!
Oh yeah, the stuff in that photo would make a magpie's heart sing! Lovely, Tammy! :-)
