I finished making and mailing the invitations to our cookout for the Book Group next week (they always have ants on them somewhere. I have a collection of "ant" stamps. Is that strange? :D).....
Almost all of the siblings, from around the country, went to cheer on their Mom. Pam wanted a journal to record the details about the events.... 
places they visited.... 
and their thoughts about the trip....
with pockets for maps and brochures....
Busy, busy, busy.....but loving every minute! I still have a few more projects to complete and then I have to get busy for 2 Craft Fairs in November! (And my swap....don't forget about that! More about that at the beginning of September!)
In my next visit, I'll post some pictures of several new art pieces I've acquired in the past few weeks. I love Etsy and eBay!

Wow, all three of your creations are awesome!! Love the invites...looks like PTI's picnic basket set by Mish?! The journal is lovely and will be treasured, I'm sure. What font did you use for the wording? Love it!!! The journal with the lady on front is so cute...great picture! You have been busy! Can you send some of that energy my way???!!!
Love your projects! You have been a busy girl!
Whoa Nelly, yourself!!! Hee-hee! Great stuff over here as well. This travel journal is SO inspired Joyce. Just beautiful! I got a kick out of "The little old lady from Pasadena" winning a Gold Medal in shuffleboard. That is completely adorable! : )
Looking forward to your next posts.

You've been busy! Work does get in the way of blogging and crafting. So annoying. Love your travel journal. Mine is so plain in comparison. Mimi
Joyce, Is it not enough that you have inspired me to make over 30 Block Party Blocks? Now I MUST make a journal that I can begin collecting thoughts in. Your journal for your friend is just amazing! Might you tell me what type of book I need to look for at the craft store? I like the idea of the "pockets" for saving mementos. I am laughing at your one day a week work week! I feel exactly the same way! Work now interupts with my newfound hobby! I am entering my busy work period just as my favorite holidays are close. Like you, a few more projects to squeeze in! Have a great week - don't work too hard! Eliz
I love your journals. After three family bereavments I have started to write my memories about my childhood down. Its only when people are not there any more you realise how important memories are and in time they become clouded.
My son recently asked me what he was like as a child and I thought I must make a memory journal for my children too. I cant resist
lovely journals and books.

Don't you hate it when work gets in the way of the rest of your life? I sure do.(~.~) But, you accomplished far more than I ever could. The journals are just gorgeous, and the invites are so cute. Love those little ants, just adorable. I hope all is going well as summer is coming to a close.
XOXO~Bekah
I love your journals!

Joyce,
You have been busy and I love the journals! Thanks for your words of wisdom regarding high school and college....so very encouraging!!
Had to pop back in to say thanks for the comment over at my place. You were 1st on my last post. : )
I was sorry to read about your lost family photographs. Truly, I was.
I haven't forgotten that you said you were interested in the paperdoll girl. I had a special order to take care of this week, so I will start those over the weekend and let you know by next week. Take care------Mary Lou
That hostess gift journal is beautiful. I love the colors of it so much...and the tag! Random (but important) thoughts...of course they are!
The travel journal is wonderful too. Love the font you used on the inside pages.
So you collect ant stamps & dress form stamps....that's an interesting combination!!
I never knew you were a single Mom - I was too for a while. That's hard - working, isn't it? Either way - look at all you accomplished! Wow!
