The Love of Journal Making.......and other Tid Bits :)

Hi Sweet Friends,


I just wanted to share a few things
I have been working on for the
Holidays.

I have been making some
journals and could not wait
to show you a couple of my
creations.

I have named this journal
"Love of Vivaldi." The composer.
The image I copied onto some ink jet
fabric and layered it upon some lovely
sheet music paper I bought from
The Paper Source! ( I Love that store)!
The tatting around the woman's head
is from an old tattered hankie.
I wanted to create something similar to
the large beautiful Lace collars woman
wore in the Elizabethan era..









This journal is a bit more on the whimsey
side. the paper is again from the Paper Source
shop. This one is so vibrant and fun to look at.





These are more items that will be going into
a friends booth at my favorite Antique Mall!!

The journal in the middle was made for a gentleman.
It is all about travel and old fashioned stamps on the
inside covers.

I thought you would like to see what I
have been up to lately!!

Blessings to All,


Susan
xxoo

    Hello Susan~I'm b-a-c-k to makin' my visits (finally)! I just wanted to take a minute at this season of renewed hope and gratitude to personally thank you for your visits and kind words, especially with the loss of my kitty Angel. I wish I could convey to you how much you helped me at such a fragile time. Your sentiments about Sam brought such deep emotion. I was happy to read about Daisy and I've no doubt is your joy.
    I will a;ways cherish all the beautiful comments.

    I look forward to getting acquainted. Looks like we have the same creative interests. I love venturing to all the Christmas Bazaars at this time of year.

    Sweet Wishes,
    Sara

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....
