Coffee/Tea of the Day - Coconut Caramel Hazelnut coffee
Hello! I hope that everyone is doing well, staying safe and healthy. A new day, a new year, ready for blessings in abundance! New opportunities to spread love and kindness! :)
Thank you to all of you who have so sweetly left comments sent emails or cards. You are much appreciated and loved! :)
I will soon share a few photos of projects I worked on in the past year. yes, I am THAT slow! :D I have started making junk journals and love it! oh my gosh, what took me so long to try one myself? a perfect way to incorporate my shabby/vintage style with re-purposed items and a touch of sass & whimsy. ;) ha!
I made journals for each of our sons and their wives, but didn't get photos of most of them since I was racing to get them in the mail for Christmas. The journal I made for my husband for our anniversary is still a work in progress. he is so understanding! I was able to get his handyman journal finished for a Christmas gift, so at least he has one complete. (I am still adding bits and bobs to it, although I don't think he has noticed yet. grins!)
The biggest shocker to the family is that I am actually sewing in all of these journals! that is the first thing every single one of them noticed. ;) it is no secret that my old sewing machine and I didn't always see eye to eye, pardon the pun. The repair man even commented that he had never seen a machine that gave someone such difficulties as mine. I was given an older sewing machine from someone who was cleaning house several years ago. Inspired by the many fabulous journal makers on YouTube, I decided it was time to get it out and make a fresh, new start. Lo and behold, I am having so much fun! I go through almost an entire spool of thread with each journal I make. Just goes to show you that we should never stop trying new things or exploring past ones!
My love and prayers to each of you. Stay safe and healthy!
See you soon,
Jennifer

Hi, it's so nice to see a post. It sounds like you've been having fun. I can't wait to see the pictures of your projects. Your journals sound like fun. I don't do so well with sewing, but have made a few things in the past.
