I think I may have a bit of an obsession with journal covers, and I know I have said this before….LOL……here is another one, a little Christmas gift for a friend…
The water in our river has dropped a bit….but it has been raining this morning…..lets hope it is not too much….
Happy Thursday
Take care Peg…:>)…
Never worry about the size of your Christmas tree. In the eyes of children, they are all 30 feet tall.
Glad to hear that the water has dropped a little. Let's hope that trend continues.
ReplyDeleteYour owl fabric is addorable.
I am sure you could whip these up on your sleep.......
ReplyDeleteno rain here last night.......thank goodness.......
Glad to hear the water level is a bit lower. I just adore the fabric you have chosen for these journal covers.
ReplyDeleteOh I love that cover, I have some of that fabric too, you are so prolific, I need time and space but then again I may be a procrastinator.

That's really pretty. I'm thinking about making a cover for my new Nook Color but haven't found quite the right pattern yet (and I'm not quite savvy enough to make one myself).
ReplyDeleteAnd I love that about the Christmas tree! I've really been thinking about that a lot lately, but as my daughter is 16 months. She really will love it none the less!!
Quilting Through Thursday
Peg, I am so happy to hear the water level is dropping, and praying that it will continue to do so. I love your journal covers. Every one of them I see I think...I gotta make some of those!!! Before I go I just have to mention your quote about the size of the Christmas Tree. It is so true...and the same thing goes for gifts. I have always found that it doesn't matter if there are 2 or 12 gifts under the tree for the little ones, their eyes still shine with delight and anticipation. I have to share a little story with you. Many years ago when our girls were very young, about 7 and 8, on Christmas morning their little friend from next door came over and was excitedly looking at all the gifts my girls had received. As they sat down to play one of their new games, we asked their little friend, Cassie, what she got for Christmas and she said "my new shoes, aren't they neat?" They were a cute and very durable pair of little girls sneakers. We all oooed and aaahed about how cute they were, then I asked, what else did you get? She, looked at me a little confused for a minute and said, "Just the shoes...me and my brothers all got a pair of shoes and mom and dad got some too and we got and orange and a candy cane in our socks". I was totally embarrassed! (If that's the right word). Along with nice gifts for our girls, new coats, a couple of games and each a little portable radio, there was candy, and other 'junk' under the tree. Cassie just stared at everything but I could tell she did NOT feel sad that she had only gotten one gift. She was over the moon excited about her new shoes and also excited about my girls Christmas gifts! Talk about a lesson in humility, not to mention a wake up call as to how blessed we truly are and how we had still jumped right onto the commercialized Christmas band wagon. After Cassie went home, I went into my bedroom, shut the door and sobbed my heart out. Later that night, we talked with the girls for quite a while about Christmas, what it truly represented and how different our gift giving was going to be from then on. OH, with my younger grand-kids I still fall into the trap of buying silly little gifts to add to their main one but all in all, we have been pretty good. That year Christmas took on an entirely new meaning for my family and it stuck, thanks to one little girl and her new Christmas shoes! I also forgot to mention that when Cassie came to the door Christmas morning, she had a candy cane with a little bow on it to give each of my girls! Hugs...
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear that the water level is dropping, I will pray for no more rain, (at least for a while).
ReplyDeleteThese journal covers are great, you do such an excellent job on them, they are so cute.

I am thinking of you Peg, with all this rain.....we're getting it up north too, but not to the same extent, except I expect it will be on its way with these monsoonal troughs.....take care, my friend.
