   Your journal is so inspiring! I love how your pages have some sewing on it! I also love the idea that you have pages made up from so many wonderful finds! Very very inspiring! My little journal have something similar filled with pages with some sewing on it as well. Thank you so much for sharing your loveliness with us! Have a lovely merry happy day and love to you!

   Thanks Jacqueline. I’d love to see your journals. And yeah, the best part of this journal is recycling paper that will usually just end up in the trash.

   Thanks for the wonderful comment and go buy yourself a sewing machine now so you can finish your journals. :D

   It’s a very worthy investment (the sewing machine).

   the journal is beautiful, love the “play” page. The silhouette works beautifully. Hope you have a swagger in your step and some play time!

   Wow, just wow, Johwey! Gosh I’m so jealous. I have no talent like this what so ever. It looks really great.

   I finally finished my project for my mom. The Flick set is http://www.flickr.com/photos/jasonloucks/sets/72157624130596121/

   Can I ask how you take your photos? Do you have one of big fancy cameras? All I have is a Nikon Coolpix. LOL Anytips would be very much of help!

   I have a Nikon D80 and my default lens is a 35mm. I love using natural light which flows from my patio door to my dining table where I usually take photos of artwork and other stuff – that’s why I also usually take photos in the morning. (Hope this helps.) :D

   Lovely journal, I love incorporating the sewing with the pages. I haven’t done that as much as I would like to. Just curious on how you bound your pages? I can’t wait to look around your site here and see more of what you are doing~ I am in the flying lessons, glad to meet you! ~Theresa

   i love your journal. i wish someone around here would teach a class on how to make my own- it would be so fun to go to a weekly “class” and work on it. can you move to dallas and do that? ;)

    Hello!

    Just wanted to thank you for your inspirational collage videos. My daughter and I have been sitting here watching them consecutively through…enjoying all the layered effects!

    i needed a break, and this was better than watching the television!

    ciao bella
