Hello all,

I just loaded 6 new Trifold Journals in the shop. Yahoo! 

As a reminder, every journal is hand crafted and similar in overall design. However, each will have unique elements added that will make them a one of a kind! Check out the first four designs that are in the shop now.

These are so fun to make and I was thinking about making a video or maybe putting together kits for sale so other crafty individuals can enjoy making these as well. What do you think? Would you like to see an instructional video on how to make these or a kit with instructions? Give me a comment to let me know. 

I hope you will check the several different options of these Trifold Journals in my shop. 

Happy day!

Lori

Hello all,

I have been working on a new series of Trifold Journals and I am really happy with how they have turned out. They are an upgrade to my original 4.5″ x 6″ Trifold Journal and now feature a sturdy faux leather journal cover with two notebooks and 2 folders included. Inside you will find other fun die cut elements from the Sizzix Katelyn Lizardi and Lynda Kanase Travelers Journal BigZ XL dies.

Every journal is hand crafted and similar in overall design. However, each will have unique elements added that will make them a one of a kind! Check out the first four designs that are in the shop now.

These journals are 4.5″ x 6″ in size and are perfect to keep in your purse, bag or backpack for easy access. Journal, notetaking, photos and/or memorabilia are all perfect options for these versatile Trifold Journals.

I hope you will check them out in my shop. If you don’t like what you see now, be on the look out for new journals as more will be posting soon.

Happy day!

Hello all,

It’s time to ring in a new year and, once again, I am surprised at how quickly it came. I find myself reflecting on the past as well as looking ahead at new things to come. What things went well and what didn’t? How can I improve as I go forward? 

I didn’t accomplish all I had hoped for in 2023 and I have big plans for 2024. It all starts with good planning. So, it makes sense that my first project of the year was to be a calendar. Not only did I make one for myself, I have already made a few for my shop and more are to come. Check out the link below for what is available.

I hope you all have a very Happy and Healthy New Year!

Happy day!
