A Jane Austen Journal......

Hello Dear Friends.

I am so excited to share with you
today a very special journal that I
bought for myself recently for my
birthday. I found one of the sweetest
lady's through Pinterest. Her name is
Jenny and she makes the most amazing
journals I have ever seen!!! Her creativity
is boundless as well as her imagination!!!
Jenny lives in Nottingham, England and
finds and collects the most amazing
ephemera, papers, and any number of
found objects to interweave into her
extraordinary journals.
Jenny also makes wonderful tutorials on
U-Tube via her blog.
Pictured here is my very special Jane Austen
journal that I simply adore. Jenny also made
a little mini journal which is a gift when you buy
one of her other journals. I am filling the mini journal
with poems, dreams and music that I love.
Jenny also tucked inside some writing prompts to accompany
my Jane Austen Journal as well. I have always loved to write but
for quite a few years I had stopped...until now. :)
Upon meeting Jenny my writing juices are once again
stirring! Thank you Jenny!! :)

Jenny is having her very "First Giveaway"!! I am so
very happy for her and so I wanted all of you to meet
her. She is giving away one of her lovely journals and
you can watch a special tutorial on how she made it as well!!


Please go visit Jenny by clicking onto her Giveaway
on my sidebar and say hello to this lovely and creative
Lady!!! You will be so happy that you have!! :)

Love to You All!!

Susan

    Oh my goodness, I'm blushing all over!!! Thank you so much for your kind words Susan. What a strange coincidence, I've only just this moment finished watching Emma Thompson's Sense and Sensibility, and then come to find this lovely post about the Jane Austen journal (still I guess there is never a JA coincidence too far away with true Janites lol). I'm so pleased you are happy with your JA prompt journal and that you are beginning to write again - from the beauty of your other creations I am sure it would be a very great loss if you were not to pick it up again. I'm so happy that you have entered my giveaway, good luck and again bless you for such a lovely post :)

    Love

    Hi Susan, thanks for your sweet comment on my story on Grandma Yellow Hair's Blogazine. I appreciate it very much.

    I love my visit to your blog and see the finer things in life. I've journalized for quite a few years daily and then I got very busy and blogland took over. Nothing so fancy as your Jane Austen journal though.

    I hope that when you have a minute you'll come by for a visit. Take care. JB

My Beautiful Sam Passed Away This Afternoon......

Image
Hello Dear Friends, With an extremely heavy heart I tell you that I have lost my little friend tonight. I thought he was having hairball problems and so my husband and I brought him to the vets late this afternoon. Upon arrival Sam was gasping for breath and they rushed him into a room and gave him ogygen. The nurse asked us if she could take an x-ray to see what was going on. When the nurse came back to the room she told us the devastating news, that Sam had a tumor next to his heart and that his lungs were filled with fluid. I was just floored....I am still in shock. We had Sam for 4 1/2 years and he was...well how do I explain to you the love that he gave us....he was always there for me....he would lie by my side in bed when I was ill and after two major surgeries....he would eat, have is water, and just stay with me. I always said he was a gift from God and he truly was. Tonight this is what I have learned.....even after my Sam has passed away he leaves this last gift   ....

Friends and Flowers

Hi Blogging Friends, I wanted to share this lovely bouquet of flowers that was brought to my door this afternoon. My dear friend Maggie sent these to me for my birthday.....they are so Beautiful and Maggie is an absolute doll to think of me. I know we all talk about our friendships here in blogland that we have found, and I know we appreciate each other very much. My life has changed so much in the last 9 years. I have had many surgeries and things going wrong physically which limited me quite a bit. Since 2003 I have not been able to drive anymore and that in itself was a big blow to me. I inherited a rare disease of the corneas in which I have had multiple surgeries for over the years, hence no more driving. Well I can go on but I will stop there. The real point in all of this is I have been lonely and needed somehow to connect with people and then I discovered the World of Blogging!!  WOW...I never dreamed that I would meet such loving and caring folks....
