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.

Hello!! Thank yuo so much for your visit and comment! I will be back soon to have a full visit at your blog, I'm very curious about that.
In the meanwhile I wish you a happy weekend xxx
I love your journaling. Creative Carmelina does the same and is so very inspiring. Last year I took a small notebook with me on our trip home to the States, colored pencils and all, said I would draw, write down quotations or things that inspired me. I used to draw and doodle so well, but it just doesn't come so easy anymore. Maybe one day I'll try again. Your's is really fantastic. Hope you are well. Best wishes, tammy
