"Garden Girl Journal"


"Garden Girl Journal"
Originally uploaded by sjmcdowell
I made this cute Garden Girl Journal for my good friend and neighbor.
Her birthday is coming up early March. She loves gardening and so I thought she would love to have a journal to keep a record of her plantings and the fun she will have this year enjoying the fruits/flowers of her labor this year. There are places for pictures as well and pockets to keep little seed packets and receipts. I will add a cute bookmark as well. I think she will like it!!
Mmmm...I think I will make one for myself too!

    I read your story over on Maggies post. I love the idea of getting to know each other this way. How great that she thought of it! Welcome to our little blogland that is growing leaps and bounds each day. It is wonderful getting to know people of same interests and seeing how wonderfully creative women can be.
    Thank you for sharing about yourself and for the sweet picture. Now maybe when we meet in April I will be able to recognize you.
    Blessings to you this weekend,
    Sharon

Hello Dear Friends.... So I'm here again!...I may just start blogging once more!! I wanted to share with you a simple little collage I made this week. I used a vintage book cover as my base. I love the dark green base for the collage. The little girl is from Paper Whimsy. Since I wanted to make something to herald in springtime...I decided to use some vintage ephemera that I have collected over the years. I used a vintage book page from some nature pages my friend Tina had sent to me from Denmark. The feather I have the little girl holding is from a friend in British Columbia, from one of her birds, who donates his feathers!! LOL......I also used a wee little nest I was gifted in a swap a couple of years ago. The little metal hanger I though was a cute way to hang the collage...On the little label it says "Magical"! Springtime to me is a magical time of year, as nature once again brings forth beautiful flowers, and lush landscapes so pleasing to our soul. A
