Journalers Junction

When creating a scrapbook layout, I think that the two most important elements are the pictures and the words. Possibly the most important of the two are the words.

I suspect that most scrapbookers would enjoy spending a little more time on their journaling and would be pleased … Continue reading →

Journaling Written By Hand

One of the most prized and protected possessions I have is the original handwritten letter from my biological mother after I had been contacted by her.

Think about the one’s you might not be able to survive without. If I never had a “Venti Cafe Mocha” from Starbucks again, I’d be pretty depressed, since it’s my favorite drink. I’d also … Continue reading →
