Watercoloring, stamping, cutting, glueing, doodling…what could be more fun?!

Why do I love vintage hand images so much?  I have no idea, but I really, really do!  This vintage hand inspired a bit of writing about…writing!

Ralph Waldo Emerson…he just always knew just what to say, didn’t he?  This simple little quote—profound in its simplicity, isn’t it?

I love using these black & white images of women on my pages—definitely inspired by the beautiful journals of Hope Wallace Karney…thanks, Hope!

I love this thought.  It’s a wonderful thing to let others inspire us, but it’s so very important to be ourselves, isn’t it?  BE UNIQUE.

  3. Good Morning Julie! Your Character book is such a lovely idea. I just know you will enjoy filling it's pages with all the women who have inspired you. I particularly liked in your October page the dress you created with Bingo stamp and sheet music. Absolutely beautiful! Each of these pages is so lovely, what a keepsake for your daughters to enjoy. Have a lovely week. Elizabeth

  4. The pages of your journal as SO PRETTY. BUt, you have beautiful handwriting.
    My handwriting is NOT...so I don't think it'd come across as lovely (tee,hee) and you are a good, imaginative "doodler"

  5. Such a sweet journal Julie! You are making such Treasures for your generations to come!

    Hang in there Mommy! How proud you must be of your precious daughter! How wonderful, a daughter on a mission! We have sister missionaries in our area and we love them to pieces! Blessings will pour into your home now!

    Hugs,
