Peace

Hey, everyone!

I want to show you something I made in just a few minutes from start to finish! It's a bookmark!! First let me talk about the journal. This journal is one I purchased in 2006. I was in a journal round robin where we each wrote in each other's journals for one week. I love the idea because it really tells me a lot about my friends, things that they may not have otherwise mentioned, gets written down in this journal and it's a wonderful little peek into their daily lives. I loved the colors in this journal. I am not usually a big fan of pink but it just looks really pretty witht he brown and green and slightly off-white letters. I used to journal a lot and really need to get back to it. Trust me when I say it was my therapy, my medicine, sometimes my lifeline...journaling is good for the soul!

I decided I would start journaling again but this time just for me. No round robin challenge. No timeline to finish. No pressure if I miss a day...just a place to record my thoughts and feelings whenever I wanted to. I wanted to refresh this journal but wasn't sure how and then it hit me...make a bookmark! So that is what I did. The colors in the More Mimi double-sided paper pack were PERFECT for this fun project! Take a look:
I chose the PEACE sentiment from the Tag Tidbits stamp set because that is what journaling gives me: PEACE! I can rest, think, ...function better when I have journaled! I clear my head of all the wishes, thoughts, to-do lists, dreams, goals, challenges and frustrations I might have. It's all on paper and I can finally breathe again! LOL

The More Mimi tag is mounted onto a piece of the double-sided More Mimi designer paper and then attached to a satin ribbon so it can keep my place in the journal! I hope you'll try this, too! It's a lot of fun and it didn't take long. During this time of year, people are hurrying and worrying! What a wonderful gesture to create a little journal and bookmark for your neighbor, coworker, friend or family member! Let me know where I can find your creations, too! I love to check out other people's projects!

Hugs,
