It's a start!

It starts with having a front cover, it took awhile to decide how I wanted it to look. Today it all came together....patients, some glue and a lot of fun, and the black marker helped. The inside is card stock, so with some paint, paste, and a little fun it should be a real adventure for me. I have been dragging my feet because this will be the first one I have done about my time, my days, my feelings....so we will see... click to enlarge. I made the door to welcome you in... Looking forward to taking you on this journey with me:)

I always enjoy you stopping by and leaving nice words... You journal cover is really unique... I see you are taking time for you... How wonderful... it is so very nice doing for others but sometimes we just have to be smart enough to do for one's self and not rely on others....
