Using Fabric in Your Journal

There’s no reason you can’t use fabric in your journal, especially if you love collage. I’ve added fabric envelopes to stash treasured pieces I just don’t want to glue in, fold out pieces with writings or drawings on them, fabric as background for unusual and heavy items, and swatches of fabric I love the look […]

Getting the Dates Right

I don’t know if it’s ever happened to you, but I’ve done this several times in my journal. I mark the date at the top of my entry, but for some reason I get the date incorrect or muddled. This may go unnoticed for quite some time, though, if I’m not really paying attention. At […]

Desperate to Journal

It was one of those days for me today, just a never ending stream of busy activity. Nothing went as planned and no time to sit and write in my journal. There are busy days for me when that really won’t bother me. But others…
All I could think of was ways to get to sit […]
