WOYWW #594 - I'm Back!

 Goodmorning, crafty friends!

I had the most precious email from Margaret last week asking about me. She'd not seen me at our weekly WOYWW meet-up and just wanted to check on me. 

How sweeet that even though there is a gigantic pond between us, my neighbor wanted to check on me. Thank you, dear friend.

My desk is a bit covered at the moment:

Baby Albums! Across the top back (almsot out of view) are the papers I'm making pages from. Down the left side are the embellishments I've made and the right hand side is just left overs to do something with (Put away, maybe? LOL)

For the past several weeks my table has been all about First Year albums for two precious little girls to be born around Thanksgiving.

If you've been following me for awhile you've heard me talk about Kassie - the little girl from my daycare that became 'like a daughter' from the very beginning.  By the time Kassie turns 23 in December, she will be holding twin girls.  She used the Marco Polo app (like facetime) that I was going to be a grandma to twins. She's already dubbed us Mimi and Pop.

I combined the making of the albums with the October junk journal challenge from DearJulieJulie to construct the journals so each of the 11 tags/ cards and 11 embellishments were made in duplicate - except for the Sticker Embellishment. I made 12 of those for each album

If you have a few minutes (the video is about 18 min. long) I walk you through the elements. If not, come back next week and I'll have a walk through of one of the completed albums. 

That's it for my desk (and story) this week. Who's Miss Julia and why am I here?  When you are done visiting me in the Ozarks, please hop on over to Stamping Ground  for all the details. Miss Julia has a long list of other studios you can peek into. No standing on an up-turned milk pail to look in the window. We open the doors wide and welcome you.  Please leave your number and you'll be among the first on my list. 

Creative Blessings!
