JOURNAL WITH ME || Travel || JUNK JOURNAL JANUARY 

I love your approach to this theme. You gave us many options of ways to go about creating our page. I love the use of vintage books, embroidery, hand lettering and documenting part of a passage in your own handwriting. Very inspiring! ❤

Oh my gosh!! I was not expecting how even more AMAZING the stitching made the illustration!! Gorgeous end result. 🤩

So lovely Essie! Anne is one of my favs too. I owned and loved all her books. Read and reread them. Books are definitely dear friends and filled with lovely places we've visited in them.

I really love this little page, especially that Welsh word and how you did the stitching on the book page. Really,really lovely.

I too have the connection to PEI and so loved being there and remembering Anne. I thoroughly enjoyed your design and stitching. Thank you.

This is beautiful in every detail. Will also be trying using the interfacing.

I adore Green Gables and your page turned out beautifully! Thank you for introducing a new method of travel and giving me the word that I have always felt for PEI. It's a "bucket list" destination and the various elements you included only reinforced that for me!

I never thought about stitching around a picture like this. Thanks for sharing!

Anne has always touched my heart. It was the first books I ever read and I live in Nova Scotia Canada right next doorbto Prince Edwrmard Island and I love going there and exploring around Green Gables. Such a sweet layout and nice memory.

Just beautiful! Great to hear your voice again. Love your ideas on the travel prompt. I never know what to do with travel stuff as I'm a homebody but your ideas really extend on the topic. Hope you are doing well.

Oh, this is so pretty, Essie. Love Anne of Green Gables. This was just all the way lovely to watch.

Absolutely beautiful and inspiring! Thank you!

Nice to see you back. You are always so creative with your journals. Love the way the stitching looks. Thank you for sharing this.

This is so lovely. Thank you for sharing. I used to love Anne Of Green Gables… my friends and I watched the film in the 80’s over and over again. Lots of love from England 🇬🇧❤

Your layout turned out so very well! I am so inspired by your use of the book page and embroidery. So many of us who do any kind of journaling seem to adore L.M. Montgomery's writing. You are right, her imagery is so vivid and you captured it so well with the illustration and the Welsh word. (However you pronounce it!) I'm about to start reading Emily of New Moon. How did this 71 year old lady manage to neglect reading this for so long?! ❤ from Arizona

Oh so pretty! I love the idea of travel through books and stories and games. Thanks for sharing!

I loved this. I travel once a year to the Caribbean and looking at travel in the ways you described is awesome. Lovely layout as well!

I love the tassel! That is very cute!

Beautifully done. so lovely

So insiring and beautiful 🤩🤩🌾

Essie, it's beautiful, and your storytelling of how and why this page evolved was lovely.

Wow, love your stitching and your page. Tfs🌺

Love this page! Which interfacing did you use? (Can you provide a link?)
