Olive's Pretty Journal

Well... a trip to the Orthopedic Clinic in Springfield yesterday confirmed my fears.  I have a torn rotator cuff.  Ugh!  I got a VERY painful shot and we're hoping that will buy me some time, but it doesn't seem to be helping much yet.  I don't have time for this!  I need to create for Fall and Christmas.  I'm trying to keep good thoughts.  We're having a very busy time these days because (the 26th, 27th, and 28th) we're having a big garage sale.  If you're in the area, stop by for some great bargains. 

So... on to today's fun project ... AND ... don't forget that the 27th is the last day to pay to register for my Christmas Cards Retreat.  I have 2 spots left.

The last time Olive Jane was here for a sleepover, she couldn't help but notice all my new journals I'd been making.  Of course, she wanted one, too.  I quickly did a mental inventory of 'my stash' of supplies and knew I had a moleskin journal that would be perfect for her to decorate.  She's such a sweetheart and loves to create with me.  Here's her pretty journal.

We punched a tiny hole at the top of her journal and I tied on the embellishments she chose for it.

Of course, we had to add some of my Shimmer Spritz to it:)

We added a few punched sprigs and hearts at the bottom of her journal and we were finished.

We both love it and she went home a happy camper.
