Hooray! I completed my journal. I am taking an online class with Carla Sonheim. In this class we are making a Journal and a Purse. We are in week two and I just finished my journal.
This is a very, very special journal. I designed this journal using a fabric photo image that McKenna and I designed of Skippy. We designed this a few years ago (we had it made at Spoonflower). And the rest of the fabric used in this journal is fabric that I had used when making Skippy harness and leash sets. I am so very glad that I had saved the fabric from her harness/leash sets.
For those of you that don't know our story, we were very fortunate to have cherished Skippy our little pug for 14 wonderful years. She was a very special part of our family.
I made this journal out of lots of love. Love for little Miss Skippy Wu.
How do you like it? The idea of using her special fabics came to me as I was designing it.
This online class is extremely fun. I am enjoying it very much. Carla Sonheim's technique for making this journal is SO COOL. If you are interested in a fun online class, I highly recommend one of Carla's. Please visit her site at: www.Carla Sonheim.com to learn more.
Here are more photos of my special journal:

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!
I teach journal writing classes locally and one thing i have offered is to have the class design their own journals.
The adults have never done it, but in my kids classes they like it.

I love journals and have never seen one quite so beautiful..looking at it makes me want to just hold it. How perfect! I would love to learn to make one some day. I do not sew and have no fabric so I really envy you your talent.
