I’ve been a long-time admirer of Hope’s journals so when she launched her online journal classes, I just had to sign up. Here are
my first efforts.
One of the things I love about Hope’s journals is her hand-
lettering. I have a lot of practice to do before I will be happy
with mine.
One of our cat’s, Inky, is getting older and crankier
than ever so I thought I would make him feel good by
honouring him with a spread in my journal.
It’s so interesting how the pages developed a life of their own in the process.
The class guidelines helped me to focus
on what to include but the pages took on a life of their own.
For instance, Hope suggested we use doilies on the page
somewhere, but Inky didn’t want anything to do with doilies
so I had to find the little fish bones instead and he is happy
about that.
