Journalling in the New Year

A brand New Year brings with it -

fresh new ideas and aspirations,

new hopes and dreams,

goals to achieve

and

new pages to turn in the journal of our lives

and

speaking of pages to turn

I want to share this most exquisite and treasured gift

of a fabric and lace journal

from a very dear and talented blogging friend

in Holland, named, Yvonne,

www.yitte.blogspot.com

Yvonne, like me, is addicted to her sewing machine,

laces, fabrics, art paper etc.

and has magic in her fingers

and

I just wanted to share some of the 22 beautiful pages

in her journal here.

Pockets with pearls and

tiny tags of birds and nests

embroidered birds, fabric labels,

buttons, lace (new and vintage) sheer fabrics,

rose cotton fabrics, doilies, a bird's nest fashioned from fleece with

eggs of pearls, vintage hankerchiefs

and so very much more that

I think I will let the pages do the talking.

This "Bird" Journal is nothing short of breathtaking -

every single page!

What makes this even more precious to me is the fact that

nothing is physically easy for Yvonne

and these special projects

take many weeks to create

so

the very least I can say is

"Thank you so much Yvonne for the heartfelt hours

you have so lovingly given to creating this

masterpiece - I will really treasure it and keep it safe!"

I have a few more gifts to share but will leave for another

post when I will also share some of my new

artwork in progress.

Wishing for you all a most promising year full of

inspirational creativity to enjoy

and

share with everyone!

Thank you always for your gorgeous comments - they are

so appreciated.

Love and hugs,

Suzy xxx
