Fun with Altered Journals

Wanted to play with journals today and came up with three ideas and am also going to list them in my Etsy shop.  Making these are kind of addicting for me.  These are the small journal composition books and it doesn't take a long time to create these.  I guess you can say I am a journal junkie.  I have journals every where and just between you and me - some of them are hidden since they are already filled up with memories and thoughts as well as plans for the future.  Truth be told I have a box full of journals from the early 1980's when I did lots and lots of writing.  Now I am just trying to figure out what to do with them.  I can't stand the thought of tossing them out or burning them.  Decisions Decisions!!!

I had a lot of fun making these journals today.  As you can tell I am really enamored by anything and everything that has to do with Paris and the Eiffel Tower.  And of course - adding pink and lots of bling - nothing could be better. The other two were made using an old stamp set from The Angel Company and couldn't resist adding the sunglasses to the hip chick!!!

Fight Like A Girl - Pink Power

  My blog candy giveaway is under post Challenge #35  Hello dear sweet friends -  I am taking a little detour today from my usual type of post to share something that is near and dear to my heart.  As you are already aware October is Breast Cancer Awareness month.  Well I want to do something to help spread the word about the importance of mammograms.  Believe it or not there are still a lot of women (and men) that we can reach together.   I am a breast cancer survivor and today September 18th  is my six year anniversary.   Six years ago I was driving to work listening to my favorite Christian radio station when there was an advertisement for the "Susan G. Komen 3 day/60 mile breast cancer awareness walk.  At that moment in my heart I knew without a doubt I needed to walk those 60 miles.  Now in all honesty - at the same time I was asking myself questions like - Why on earth do I feel so compelled to walk those 60 miles fo...
