TFS your beautiful creation! I love seeing your flip throughs of your journals they are so lovely. I think it's smart that you leave the extra room in your spine for growth, but I'm a chunky scrapbooker in that all my pages are at least 1/2 inch thick, lol. I should start making my own journals instead of buying them, I would have more room. Or maybe cut back on the thickness, but you know, once the creativity starts flowing there's no stopping it! Take care & God bless!

Fun "visit" with you, Esther! ☺️🌼🌷 I haven't been to Arizona for a long time, but my two oldest sons lived there for a time and they said you could literally feel that dry heat sucking the moisture from your skin when you stepped outside in the hot weather. We went through the Mohave desert and I think we were in Arizona, but it may have been the California part, but I remember we stopped the car at a little roadside rest and made sandwiches, but before we could even take the first bite, the bread had the texture of toast! I'm glad you had such a blessed time there with all the sisters and even met a KZfaq friend! Hugs! 💜🌼💜🌼💜🌼😊

Hi Esther 😊🌼💜 I love tri-folds and they can be tiny or big, depending on what they're for. My favorite of the three swaps is the garden one you made for Toni. That little girl with the cow is so adorable. You did a wonderful job on all three, though! Thank you so much for sharing! 😊🌷🦋

Such a sweet little book journal, Esther. A lot of journaling and photo room. I haven't seen the Gorjuss Girls on KZfaq in a while. Very cute! I love my GG dies and stamps. The little vintage bees are adorable and the entire journal and all the extras are wonderful! I'm thinking Richard Scarry's books are pronounced the way you've been pronouncing it. In Britain, Finland and other places I've heard, almost everyone pronounces it "Scare-ee". 😁😁😁💗💗💗

What a treasure you found! Wow! I was extra curious the card that was "A Valentine for my Teacher". Does it say who it's from inside? Could she have added it years later as a teacher or maybe her mom was a teacher and let her have the card? Hmmm 🤔 The sweet little children on the front of the scrap book, by artist Betsey Clark are different than the Precious Moments children. A man actually was the artist of Precious Moments. The art of both is wonderfully endearing. Could you read the date on that postcard that said "Post Card" in big letters on the front of it? Thank you for sharing, Esther! 🤗💜🌼
