Darya and Angie's Paris Travel Journals

Here are my pages for Darya's Travel Journal, and Angie's. We all do a couple of pages in each others books, then in Paris in October we just have to add our own journaling to the pages. It's a lovely idea by our 'team leader' Kathy McElroy. I have one more to do and I know my book is on its way home..!! October is going to be a very busy month..!!!..First Art & Soul then Paris..!!...Its a hard life..!!

Miz Carla's Delightful [Pock-et-ful]

I have finished my pages for Miz Carla's gorgeous little 6x6 book for the [Pock-et-ful] RR. Carla's theme is 'Little Winged Things" and everyone has done a lovely job of sticking to it. The book is gorgeous and I'm sure Carla will love it. I think there are four more books left for me to do, I will be sad to do the last one, its been fun.

Beth's Pocketful RR

Here are my pages for Beth's Pocketful journal. This is a lovely RR to be involved in, and I am looking forward to getting my little book back..!!! Beth's theme is nature and she provided some lovely old denim jean pockets for everyone to use.

Art & Soul

Last May Sue and I thought we were fulfilling a once in a lifetime dream, by going to Art& Soul in Hampton..!!...We loved it so much we have booked again, but this time for the Portland retreat in October. My brother lives in Portland so I can see him too. We are so excited already and still have five months to wait..!! Once again we have chosen some lovely classes, aren't they all..!! I am taking classes with Richard Salley, Thomas Ashman, Michael De Meng, Robert Dancik and the wonderful Judy Wilkenfeld. How fabulous is that.!!

I finally seem to be getting on top of things now, and getting down to doing  some artwork....!!.. here are my pages for Susie LaFond's [pock-et-ful] book. The book is a beauty and it was a pleasure to work in it.

Pam's Travel Journal

This is Pam's travel journal pages, I have provided a space for her to write on on the front page...hope it's enough Pam..!! The French theatre ticket on the back also opens to provide added information in a transparency pocket....maybe Pam can add other tickets from the trip..!!

Travel Journals

This October several of my US friends are coming to Paris...!!..Sue and I will be joining them from the UK and are already looking forward to it..!! We have created a travel journal each and are swapping backgrounds, we need to leave space for journaling, or, create a pocket for the journaling to go into.For Kris's journal I made a tag that opens for writing on, and Lou's journal was already made from record sleeves so has a ready made pocket..!!

Happy New Year

Happy New Year everyone..!!

I hope you all find your wishes coming true in 2008..!!
