Sandy's entry to my Journal

Hello you all. Welcome to my room . Hope that your day was a pleasant one and that you are all set for another  great week . Don't forget , I really appreciate you taking the time to leave a comment . I like to see hints and tips as well as constructive criticism you know!
Now that's a thought ...I might see if I can make up a collection of  candy for comments .mmm watch this space . Now onto todays posting .
Sandy is another of my craft friends who join me twice a week for card making .
Today,  Sandy bought me her pages for my journal.

Thank you so much Sandy . I love your journaling . I am so pleased that you enjoy our Tuesdays and Sundays together . And you are right.  This is the stuff happy memories are made of.

I love the way you have sponged colour onto the scallop circle framing your photo and also around your journalling panels .

I am so glad that I began this circle journal . Not too late at 64 years of age !

Hope you have been keeping track of my Journal and found this entry interesting .

Catch you again soon , cheers Shirley-anne

Pages from Kay

hello , welcome . Is it the end of your working week ? Are you planning any thing you can share with us for the weekend ? Doug has decided that he wants to go somewhere new for coffee in the morning . It is going to be windy and raining according to the forecast, so I hope that it is not too far!
Then again he has said that he will take me to a couple of craft shops that I have been wanting to visit for a while . So looking forward to that.  But to tonight's post.
Tonight I would like to share with you a gift from my friend Kay .

This is  Kay's first page for my Journal. I love Tote-ally Tess because she is so versatile and can convey almost any sentiment. Love the background paper and the bling which I am sorry has not shown up under the flower.

This is a better showing of her 2nd page , with Friend spelt in bling. Love the journal tags and the spray of flowers in the corner.

Did I say this was a gift from Kay ?  Tis a precious gift,  is time . These days we must pack a lot of living into our day.  Most of  our time is taken up with the mundane duties of life . So when someone uses some of their precious time to " make/ create " something for me then they had better believe that I will treasure that which they have done for me .  Thanks Kay.

Hope that you like her pages . I still have 2 entries to show but that is for another day.

Thank you for calling in and  catch you again soon .

Cheers Shirley-Anne

Pages for my Journal

Hello and welcome to my room . It is quite a pleasant day here  although not warm . Actually was able to get out for a morning walk so life is good .
I would like to share with you a layout for my  Craft Journal. Jane is one of my Sunday group who comes for card making and she has spent time creating this for me .

Thanks Jane

The bottom quote just suits me to a tee!

I love the shade of blue Jane has chosen as a background with all the embellishments matching perfectly.

It is the gift of her time it took to create these pages ,  which is so precious to me .

Hope you like them too . Thanks for calling in .

Cheers for now  Shirley-Anne
