Saturday was Part I of my Visual Journaling: A Life Collage series. In it, eight women spent all afternoon at Stampin' Cat Studio getting messy and learning a little book binding. The women started by learning a paper-decorating technique I learned from Diane Havnen-Smith of Innerstandings in Portland. After a dancing, shakin' break (and a few snacks), they got busy with the binding part. By the end of the day, they had each made a delectable, beautiful hand-bound journal!
Here are views of the completed journals:
Even the debris was colorful!
And, a thank you to my dear husband, Howard, who faithfully tears all the large sheets of paper into sizes usable in our journals!

Naw, Gretchin, I just tied one of my business cards around the NECK of each water bottle!
