Truly, it isn't the bomb site it looks...
This is serious journal creating for my Journal Your Life course with Susannah Conway.
I'm using a Simple Stories binder by Sn@p I bought last year - now I know why :)
So far, I've made the cover, the dividers and put it all together - no actual journaling yet!
Here's some close-ups
Even dug out my Tim Holtz stamps I won many, many moons ago, signed by the lovely man himself :)
I'm so glad this desk party is in Blogland - I'm full of cold at the moment (along with hubbie and son - daughter and cat are ok so far...)
But I can visit and not share my germs!
So I'm hopping over to St Julia's Stamping Ground...
See you all there xx

OH NO! Get better soon. Love the Tim stamps and that you got to use them. I use my stamps all the time, don't know how to craft without them. #43
Looking forward to the journalling... looks great so far. Sorry you're ill with a cold - must be the change of weather. Thanks for visiting my bomb site - you can't call yours that after seeing mine!! Helen 19

Your journal looks awesome!! I would love to see the finished product!!
So sorry you are sick!! AND your dh and son. If everyone is sick, it is always mom/wife who has to take care of everyone. But who takes care of you?
Feel better!

Oh Claire I hope you feel better. I started a little cough last night but nothing this morning so I am hoping nothing is coming my way. But the boys started school last week so I am sure we will be visited by a stinky cold soon.
I love the cover of your journal. Sounds like a fun class. I can't wait to see more. Please do share!
Hope you feel better soon and have a blessed day!
