Happy New Year to you!

A Happy New Year to everyone!  I'm slowly making my way back--tomorrow,
I plan to have a blog visiting party, and come around to say Happy New Year
to you "in person," but today, will have to settle for a short post.

For my first Altered Arts Magazine share of the year, here is a look at a journal
I'm working on, something along the lines of The Documented Life.  Thanks to
my friend Julie's inspiration,  I'm making my own, using some 12 x 18 paper
that's been waiting for years in the art room.
  folding paper for the book signatures, denim for the cover, washi tape (7 gypsies and
some from Altered Pages) for adding tip-ins, and YUMMY Something Tattered stamps

Also, a big thank you to Daniella and Lyneen, who sent these sweet Christmas cards:

And to my friend Sussie, who sent this card and wonderful ATC--my daughter is all
into Amelia Earhart right now, so the atc was especially appreciated by her!
Thank you, Sussie!!
So that's it for now,  I need to go fold paper for that journal . . . see you tomorrow!

Your own Journal, now that is special!
What sweet Christmas thoughts you received from your friends.

(P.S. I still patiently await my copy of The Stampers' Sampler - I believe it is taking the scenic route to Scotland lol)
