Creative Journaling

So as it happens, books are being tossed in the garbage all the time. Who knew? Not me until a few years ago, well, sometime in the late nineties. 

Most of the books I use to make the journals and other things you will see here, are old discarded library books on their way to being destroyed. (Many still have library cards intact). Have a look inside and you will see that I have left many of the old illustrations and some selected text. Now they have been given a new purpose and I hope you will enjoy using them. I also try to use as much of the book as I can. In the case of children books, because they are small, I will incorporate the entire book. What do I do with the rest you ask? Note Cards, buttons, magnets, bookmarks, to name a few, and with the spines ...well, you will see that as you scroll down. 

Now, what are you going to write in a journal? Think of it as a Day Book, or a Cook Book,  Guest Book, an Sketch Book, a Travel Journal, a Pet Journal, a Baby Book ...and the list goes on. Each Journal contains approx. 100 blank pages and 20 or so of the original book...or all if possible.

Enjoy!!!
