Posted - Jun 03 2026 : 05:13:50 AM Okay ladies let's give this another try.
We will make a small journal, around 4'x6'. You can either buy one to decorate for your partner or you can make the whole thing yourself. There are loads of ideas on YouTube or Pinterest for how to make and decorate. If you make one yourself and you want to add papers to write on just make one or two signatures so as to keep postage down. Also no tucks with this one as the journal is enough. I won't choose a theme. I will let you to do any you want.
We will have sign ups until July 31st and I'll post partners on August 1st. Send out as soon as possible after you receive your partner and exchange addresses.
Who will join me for this one? Denise sends to Andrea Andrea sends to Sherry Sherry sends to Dianna Dianna sends to Joan Joan sends to Debbie Debbie sends to Marcy Marcy sends to Denise
Have fun!

Posted - Aug 19 2026 : 09:46:03 AM I'm so happy that you like it Sherry. Yes, I'm so very lucky I have the history I have. Most WWII records were lost in a fire so what he kept is all there is. Which in reality is quite a bit!

Sherry!!! Omagosh! What a stunning journal! Not sure I want to use it or just eyeball it like eye candy! I keep flipping through all the pages and looking at the goodies in it, it's so stunning. You are definitely gifted. When it comes to making journals and tags and wrapping things up so beautifully and everything's so feminine! You definitely go out of your way making things special! Thank you so much for the extras! They will definitely be used! Love it sweet farmsister! You made my day! Thank you again! God bless!

Posted - Aug 12 2026 : 2:31:17 PM Debbie,
Thank you so much for the beautiful journal. I giggled when I opened it because I realized you made it from a small book I sent you a few years ago. I guess the book wanted to come home. I absolutely love it! Thank you so much! Now I have so many ideas about making more journals from the small books I make. I can’t wait to write in my new journal.
Thank you again, Love and hugs, Marcy

Thank you so much Joan for my journal that arrived today. Joan knows I love Purple so the theme of the journal was Purple Lavender. I love it, thank you again. I hope you feel better soon;-)
