I have lots of supplies, stamps, paper, etc. Getting started is the hard part. But you are certainly inspiring me here.

And journalling should be about fun, not "getting it right". I think a few scratches is a price worth paying if you sometimes got a kitten for your pains. Such detailed memories - I've got almost none from my early childhood - another lovely read.<br />Alison xWords and Pictureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05672524847577136244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8409736839640761117.post-60006310900718815052017-02-20T07:56:23.081-05:002017-02-20T07:56:23.081-05:00Hi Sandy, I've been having some trouble with I...Hi Sandy, I've been having some trouble with Internet finally able to get in to comment.

Gesso is your friend :-) It is easy to cover up what you're not thrilled with and you have another layer of richness to work with.<br />Keep having fun dear Sandy.<br />Be fearless and play! oxo~*~Patty Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03953758102509632020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8409736839640761117.post-68222902064380816722017-02-05T12:59:30.500-05:002017-02-05T12:59:30.500-05:00I am so late visiting, but am glad I made it again...I am so late visiting, but am glad I made it again to hear another wonderful tale of time with your grandparents. I'm sure those were magical times.<br /><br />You did NOT mess up and when you are working in mixed media or collage, there is NO WAY to mess up. After all, there are no rules. If you don't like what you created, there's always paint or gesso to cover it. There are images you can glue over what you don't like. So be fearless and have tons of fun with it.<br /><br />Just saw your comment on the SuperBowl. I'm with you. Atlanta is MY team, too. And if that wasn't incentive enough, Wichita has a hometown guy playing. Enjoy the game. I hope I do!Bleubeard and Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10149710375520733752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8409736839640761117.post-70014449121437066632017-02-04T16:16:19.438-05:002017-02-04T16:16:19.438-05:00I would love to hear more of your stories of your ...I would love to hear more of your stories of your life and times living with your beloved Grand Parents, Sandy it is so interesting and sounds so much fun, you have so many memories I am certain and your journal page is fantastic<br />hugs<br />lorraine xcoldwaters2https://www.blogger.com/profile/08215580207737032353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8409736839640761117.post-25250314132064644882017-02-02T15:42:39.763-05:002017-02-02T15:42:39.763-05:00Oh I love this Sandy, that cat looks so cute - min...Oh I love this Sandy, that cat looks so cute - mine always used to chase butterflies, and yes she did eat them if she caught 'em. I know just what you mean about not wanting to mess up a journal, so I bought a cheap one and I've started to relax a bit - I also didn't start at the front so that took some pressure off too.
