Hello, I hope everyone is weathering this winter staying warm and safe. We've had cold days and nights but only 1 day of snow this year. The snow has been heavy in the mountains though, which has made us very happy.
So, I seem to be coming right along with 3 journals in the making and this one in my Etsy shop today. I was also able to list a Valentine junque journal here in my shop and here on my blog. yay!
So let me tell you a little about this baby StoryBook journal called "Little Charmer". The covers have been created from a story book written by M.M. Milne called "When we Were Very Young". It has 55+ pages which include a combination of vellum, vintage lined writing, linen, drawing, and watercolor papers, on which you may journal, sketch, draw, paint, and glue. There is also a book mark included which has been made from the spine of the little book- no pictures taken of bookmark except what you can see sticking out the top of some photos; so it will be a little surprise. Here we go:
