I forgot to post the journal pictures!




Two posts in one day! I guess that will help make up for all the times I don't post at all! This is my layout for my altered book 'being a woman" I used retro fabrics because the focus is on four generations of women....The picture is of My great grandma, grandma, my mom and myself....I am the only one left now...I lost my mom to breast cancer at age 56 in 2002....the other page shows a funnel and the beads stand for all there talents and eccentricities and it is pouring into a three year old me. They are so much a part of me and I have picked up different things from each of them...I just wanted to show that I am honored to be a part of these beautiful " in many ways women"......

Your journal pages are wonderful! I really like how you put the funnel pouring into you! That's just how I feel about the women in my family, they have each given me something. It's so sad when they're gone.
