I had started this post in 2021 but never finished it, and here it is 2023! A little delayed, but since this was my first big handmade journal made on my own I wanted to include it on my blog.</p><p>Having made several journals in 2020, I had decided to take a break from them for a while. Then for some reason I got a burning desire to make a journal using a book cover from the 20s. It may have been the green color and the fact that lots of ephemera on my work table looked lovely with the cover, but whatever the reason, I wanted to do it right away. This is a fairly self-indulgent post as I've included photos of almost all the journal pages (a few were left fairly plain for the new owner to add their own items or journaling) but I hope you enjoy seeing it. This is Part I.

I've watched more TV this year than I have in the last ten years, have read about 70 books so far, and know more about government and politics than I've thought about since civics class a lifetime ago. While sheltering in place is fairly easy for an introvert like me, Covid has had a devastating effect as it claimed one of my sisters-in-law in August, and as I worry daily about the rest of our family members and the world. The state of our country causes almost daily tears, and prayers that things will change for the better soon.</p><p>Crafting has been the best part of this otherwise bleak year, and while I've shared most of my projects on Instagram, I wanted to have them on my blog for posterity. </p><p>A customer from Seattle purchased a journal from me on Etsy in March, and soon after she contacted me to ask if I'd make her a custom Christmas in Wonderland journal made from digital images she had purchased. She mailed me the printouts (my printer wasn't working well at the time) and, while it was a bit different and challenging working with pre-printed pages, we were both pleased with the results. Get ready for lots of photos with information at the end on the images used. Click on any photo for a enlarged view.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPNq8c10mULT2ZRI9XLRZ4pZgcB0KGlrt4NtMNZV_AquU-RVa-leWaINVxEG8F_hGeLrRbcP1Xpy80Ic52WidrcStTlTQ2R7spz0Z2_aOXSXOeaLl6nP4KCSP8O4gwkn-JL_zbe6LH8W8/s1500/PM+CW+Cover.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

Click their names to see those journal posts. While making their books I started one for myself. I'd pull it out occasionally and work on a page or two, but mostly all the makings have occupied a plastic bin in the corner of my craft room for the last six years. Right before Christmas I decided that thing was going to be finished! I worked on it for about a week and a half, and finally (ta da!!!) here it is! Fair warning - this is a <i>very </i>long post with lots of photos.<br />

The cover is made from what I think is a placemat or dresser scarf. I'll show a close up at the end of the post. The beautiful heart collage was made by a friend and seemed the perfect adornment for this book.<br />

For this page I used a vintage hankie with a embroidered T, because this page features a three inchie I made for a Valentine swap organized by <a href="https://indulgeyourshelf.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Laurie</a>. The book includes my inchie as well as the ones I received from my swap partners. I won't list each maker here, but you can see them all in my post about that 2014 swap <a href="http://junqueseeker.blogspot.com/2014/02/heart-themed-three-inchie-swap.html" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />

Above, various vintage fabrics, a vintage hankie made into a pocket to hold a swap ATC (more on that swap <a href="http://junqueseeker.blogspot.com/2017/02/happy-valentines-day-pretty-and-pink.html" target="_blank">here</a>) and some wonderful pleated trim I purchased from <a href="https://the-feathered-nest.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Dawn</a>.<br />

Yet more French General fabric, vintage trim, another swap inchie, and embroidered floral trim. This trim is one of my very favorites and getting harder to find. I'm always on the lookout for it in every color.<br />

This vintage rose fabric was given to me by Wanda Clark <a href="http://junqueseeker.blogspot.com/2012/02/charm-of-french-general-and-meeting.html" target="_blank">when we attended The Art of Craft at French General in 2011</a>. It's topped with a very old dusty rose doily, picot-edged ribbon, and wonderful embroidered roses cut from a moth-eaten sweater.<br />

<br />
More French General fabric. Can you tell I love them? The top fabric is a striped satin. Trims include crushed velvet ribbon, ruched rayon seam binding, more green picot ribbon, and a bit of green crochet along the edge. It's all topped with a swap inchie.<br />

This page is a mix of pink linen from an old tablecloth, a vintage glove used as a pocket, crushed velvet ribbon, and three different types of vintage trim. The pocket holds the swap ATC.<br />

The embroidery on this page is from a vintage dresser scarf. The crochet flowers were cut from a damaged pillow case. The trim along the bottom edge is another favorite, made from intertwined pink and white rick rack with crochet. I love what some people could/can do with rick rack, and have collected quite a few examples.<br />

The embroidered organza for this page came from Laurie. The little "basket" is actually a sleeve from the plisse baby dress mentioned earlier. The bow and the edging came from another baby dress.<br />

And lastly - you made it! - here's a close up of the placemat or table runner I used for the cover. I'm so glad I wasn't the one to tie all those little strands of nylon together!<br />

This one was pretty low key for us - some time with family yesterday, and lounging around the house today. My decorating was also low key, as it has been for quite a few years now.<br />

For over thirty years, we've usually sent out Christmas cards featuring our dogs. We're down to just one now - Henry, who's thirteen and not really excited about photos. Here are a few of his typical "poses."<br />

I was fortunate enough to attend two earlier Birdsong events, and was so happy to be there for this one. There's a lot to share, but I'll start with the three swap items I created.<br />
<br />
The first swap was a Christmas-themed diorama. I'd never made one before, and mine turned out to be more of a shadow box with a diorama in the top section. It was inspired by one I purchased from Kim of <a href="http://artjoystuff.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">ArtJoyStuff</a>, but hers are so much more detailed and wonderful. I was pleased with this one, especially considering I waited until about two weeks out to start on all my projects. Procrastination is my specialty!<br />

I really love the vintage Christmas corsage pieces I added to the top along with some beautiful vintage ribbon I found a few years ago.<br />

The second swap was a stocking swap. I printed a vintage photo on muslin and sewed it on top of a lacy doily, then embellished it with a felt blossom and some vintage millinery flowers. I added vintage crocheted pillowcase edging, a few old buttons, and some hand-dyed seam binding. </div>

The third swap was an ornament made from a tart tin or cookie cutter. I have to confess that part of this one was already made. The center portion was made several years ago - the cookie cutter with the glittered paper lining and the vintage reflector and ornament. I loved it as it was but wanted it to be extra special for this group, so I added a ring of rhinestones and attached the rosette portion of a vintage horse ribbon and a dresden medallion on the back.<br />

The ornament was packaged for gifting in a box I covered in pretty pinecone paper that left a trail -really a mountain - of glitter behind.<br />

This led to the purchase of a Cinch binding machine, which has led to hours of fun and using up some of my paper and ephemera. Just some. I still have tons - possibly literally.<br />
<br />
Here are a couple of not-great iPhone pics of the cover and first-page spread of a Grow-themed journal, one of the first Cinch-bound journals I made.<br />

Unfortunately I didn't think to take photos of every single page of these first five, and they all sold at a local event market shortly after completion.<br />
<br />
I made a few more journals for another local market held this past weekend, and did remember photos this time. First up, a Halloween journal that a good friend purchased...<br />

These three all sold at the market. A big thank you to everyone who purchased one (and the other goodies I had on offer.) It's nice to know they've all gone to good homes!<br />
<br />
The fourth is <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/723169850/halloween-junk-journal-wonderland-theme?ref=shop_home_active_1" target="_blank">listed in my Etsy shop</a>, and features some images from Graphic 45's Hallowe'en in Wonderland collection.<br />

Each journal I've made has included pockets and envelopes with additional bits of ephemera and embellishments tucked in. Making them is a bit addictive, and now I'm always on the lookout for cover and page items from my stash. There are little stacks around the room just waiting to be bound.<br />
<br />
Hope you're having a productive year and discovering new creative addictions!<br />

It did, and I joined a few months ago but hadn't been active so far as I haven't been crafting much.<br />
<br />
This month they launched a swap based on <a href="https://jeanneoliver.com/courses/get-your-badge-on/" target="_blank">Amy Hanna's Get Your Badge On on-line course</a>. I had purchased the course months ago and watched the videos but hadn't made anything, so decided to join the swap and create. Here's my badge, and the gift box I made.<br />
<br />

My partner, Jenny, likes steampunk. I had some vintage microscope lenses that I'd been saving for something special and decided to use those for goggles. I wrapped the edges in faux leather, printed eyes on fabric, and glued everything to a wool felt base before attaching them to more faux leather and ribbon. The lenses, ring, and chain are vintage. I should have used more vintage items, but couldn't find my vintage gears so used some Tim Holtz pieces.<br />

Jenny took my love of old lace, buttons, and neutrals into account, and also added my favorite colors of blue and green to make the perfect badge for me. She also wrapped it so beautifully that I hesitated to open the package!</div>

I've fallen weeks behind on creations for Kim's <a href="http://artjoystuff.blogspot.com/p/2019.html" target="_blank">Art Card Tuesday</a>, and I'm not sure I'm going to catch up.<br />
<br />
Instead of creating, I've been digging through boxes, bags, and bins in my craft room. I found a little flower pot full of some of my favorite buttons, and thought I would share those. I have huge jars full of buttons, but try to keep my favs separated since I use the jarred buttons for inspiration kits.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqZquIVajaPYBVFInxYZBd1fr02XZDoEtcA0te1d6iKixUo3-IsmhI0RVLD4F3Y5LiU-QeyHNXWxy1XdxPjxvOjg4xWTFbfZtee7CekuT7O4AH1IGWDOOlgwlN6RitR7K-wy-aRKMO420/s1600/PM+Buttons+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1333" data-original-width="1001" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqZquIVajaPYBVFInxYZBd1fr02XZDoEtcA0te1d6iKixUo3-IsmhI0RVLD4F3Y5LiU-QeyHNXWxy1XdxPjxvOjg4xWTFbfZtee7CekuT7O4AH1IGWDOOlgwlN6RitR7K-wy-aRKMO420/s640/PM+Buttons+1.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>
<br />
First off, I'm not that knowledgeable about buttons - I just love them. And many of the ones I love the most are white or mother of pearl (MOP.) These are just a few that make me happy. The little "hook and eye" style sets at the bottom are particular favorites, and the two little bow buttons are a close second.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiR2RW5g4zb_czbiL2LoeiIeGzyaJ3FF0D5LYnuNKbIQCVzMi2SN98CkMOwNwEulqxYxWF1MjTblZ1fed-NkGCuPTiDwEi0ZSDmZbna_4VgStlYwVZkl4I1vizUQOSe-UOGU1IGojoZzxw/s1600/PM+Buttons+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1333" data-original-width="1001" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiR2RW5g4zb_czbiL2LoeiIeGzyaJ3FF0D5LYnuNKbIQCVzMi2SN98CkMOwNwEulqxYxWF1MjTblZ1fed-NkGCuPTiDwEi0ZSDmZbna_4VgStlYwVZkl4I1vizUQOSe-UOGU1IGojoZzxw/s640/PM+Buttons+2.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>
<br />
As far as MOP buttons go, odd shapes are what I mostly seek. I'm not sure about the two buttons in the lower left corner. They may be celluloid. They're both a bit worn, but still appeal to me.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6-AfbscYHsPlwXJmZrtetnYF2TBAj3r97ZdiixxK25P_gRDbGztS_Qdu3rCaPTABuMSGF2f6fVx4ThdQGPnvYiEp1UFTj0AjTgnM7qJ-hdcUtOrPoa78-ewK5utfcqFcDkXF3Rr-idDA/s1600/PM+Buttons+3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1333" data-original-width="1001" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6-AfbscYHsPlwXJmZrtetnYF2TBAj3r97ZdiixxK25P_gRDbGztS_Qdu3rCaPTABuMSGF2f6fVx4ThdQGPnvYiEp1UFTj0AjTgnM7qJ-hdcUtOrPoa78-ewK5utfcqFcDkXF3Rr-idDA/s640/PM+Buttons+3.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>
<br />
The large button is about two inches in diameter. I've had it for years. I love the "French Ivory" buttons, especially the one with square holes. I always grab rhinestone buttons when I see them at estate sales. I only show three here, but have a small jar full.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The larger button is metal with a lucite bar. I'm not certain where the little basket buttons came from - possibly from a friend.<br />
<br />

Just a few random cards. The Bluebird button card is one I keep on display in my craft room.<br />
<br />

<br />
I'm normally not a fan of yellow, but these make me smile. I think the grape buttons are amazing! I'd love to find these in other colors and start a collection.<br />
<br />
As you can see, I'm not picky about the quality of button cards or whether there are missing buttons.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Blue is my favorite color. The Supreme Quality buttons are navy and slightly irridescent.<br />
<br />

<br />
And last but not least... The heart buttons came from another Etsy seller. The rhinestone buttons are tiny - not even a quarter inch.<br />
<br />
Hope you enjoyed seeing some of my favorite buttons! I'll try to have something creative to share soon. Today I played with gellatos, modeling paste, stencils, and paint. The results are not very impressive, but it was a fun break from taxes and other less enjoyable things that have been occupying my time lately.<br />
<br />

I intended this one for Valentine's Day, but life intervened. The DH has had a cold and various respiratory issues since late January. He'd seen a doctor and had a round of meds, but around 3am on the 15th he started coughing and couldn't get his breath. Thankfully he had an inhaler handy, but I convinced him to go to the ER. They admitted him for a viral infection and pneumonia. He was released today and is feeling much better, so hopefully life is back to normal.<br />
<br />
Earlier this month my friend Bobbie of <a href="https://rollinghillcottageandstudio.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Rolling Hill Cottage and Studio</a> held a Valentine Soiree, where we made the most adorable Valentine snow couple!<br />

For <a href="http://artjoystuff.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Kim's </a>Art Card Tuesday this week, the prompt was <a href="http://artjoystuff.blogspot.com/2019/02/art-card-tuesday-7.html" target="_blank">Cupid</a>. I'm trying to use on-hand supplies for these little pieces, so this week I used a red plastic cupid die cut and another die cut that came with a pad of scrapbook paper, oh, I don't know...maybe TEN years ago??? It looked a little boring so I added some Stickles, which look great on a small scale but a bit random when enlarged for pics.<br />

I'm behind on posting my cards for Kim's Art Card Tuesday challenge. The prompt for <a href="http://artjoystuff.blogspot.com/2019/02/art-card-tuesday-5-6.html" target="_blank">Week 6</a> was LOVE so I'm showing that first.<br />
<br />

For Week 5 the prompt was GREY, and I ended up making two cards. I started this one first with the quote but couldn't decide on the rest, so made another before finishing this one.<br />
<br />

<br />
The card below is my favorite of the two. I stamped and embossed the background and used rub-on flowers and a die cut strip that has been embellished with rhinestones.<br />

I'm still a bit behind because the prompt this past Tuesday - Week 7 - was CUPID - perfect for today but mine hasn't been started. I'll try to get that one done by the weekend.

Kim usually does monthly ATC swaps, so visit her blog (link above) if you're interested in participating. Swaps for me provide much-needed motivation to create. You can also join in on Kim's weekly Art Card Tuesday prompts.

Naturally the one with the little dog is my favorite but I like them all. I found a whole Valentine-themed Crate Paper pack in my stash and used the paper for some of the backgrounds. The Kissing Booth tag came from that pack, as did the XOXO banner.</div>

Hope you've enjoyed seeing my latest efforts. I'll show the coins I receive when they arrive. Yesterday I attended a fun class and will have that to share soon, as well what I received from a January ATC swap.</div>

We had snow recently, but the weather has been fairly mild the last week or so and I was having trouble getting inspired. Last night I was sorting through old Christmas cards I had stashed - an embarrassing number of years' worth - and found a pretty snowflake design on a card which resulted in this.<br />
<br />

Glitter and shine make me happy, but they are certainly hard to photograph! I used my Cricut to make the window frame, and scrounged through my case of Christmas craft supplies and found a package of Tim Holtz Remnant Rubs for the "let it snow" phrase.<br />
<br />
I'm working on artist trading coins - my first - for a Valentine swap, so will have those to show soon. Here's a sneak peak at the not-quite-completed first one. I've finished five so far with five more to go, and am having fun with them.<br />

<br />
This is another super simple card. The skater image is from The Graphics Fairy. I searched for quotes related to ice, and the first one up was from a favorite author so I went with it.<br />
<br />
I'm really enjoying this opportunity to make a little creation each week using someone else's prompt. You should join in! Your creation can be whatever the prompt leads you to, and you can spend as much or as little time as you're comfortable with. If you blog about it, you can link your post to Kim's Art Card Tuesday post for the week.<br />
<br />
In other news, I'm just trying to get some things listed on Etsy, finish reading <i>Unsheltered </i>by Barbara Kingsolver (loving it, and I have two more great books waiting in the wings) and attend to life and everything it's throwing my way lately.<br />
<br />
Hope you have a great weekend!<br />

This week's theme is Winter White which fits perfectly with the weather we had a few days ago.<br />
<br />
We had ice one night, then snow fell the next night in huge flakes. It was so quiet and peaceful. Lovely.<br />
<br />

<br />
Of course, it was gone by the time I woke up the next day so my only snow photos are nightime shots.<br />
<br />

All the glittery white inspired me to finally use a quote I've been saving from the border strip of a sheet of Authentique paper.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
This was a super quick and easy creation - not my best ever but it will make a very nice ornament for next Christmas, or just a little display piece for winter.<br />

</div>
Welcome 2019 - a new year with new opportunities! I've missed blogging. I only managed four posts last year but hope to do better this year. Even knowing that most people go to Instagram or Facebook now to keep up with others, I want to keep blogging for my own sake. It's nice having these reminders of good times and good vintage finds.<br />
<br />
To start the new year with a bit of creativity, I decided to follow along with Kim at ArtJoyStuff and her <a href="http://artjoystuff.blogspot.com/2019/01/art-card-tuesday-1.html" target="_blank">Art Card Tuesday</a>. She's already posted her second one and I just completed my first, but then she's in a different time zone so it's all good!<br />
<br />
Here's my card for this week, using things from my work table.<br />
<br />

<br />
Kim's prompt last Tuesday was "My Word for 2019." Since I'm not doing a word for the year, I just used a little Happy tag left over from a Christmas project. The background is a leftover strip of paper, there's a tiny bit of vintage metallic wallpaper near the top, and the butterfly, flowers, trim and rhinestones were in a little baggie on my table and left over from another project.<br />
<br />
Last year was hard and I do want to try to be happier this year, so this was the perfect start to a year of creating.<br />
<br />
Hope your year is off to a good start as well!<br />
<br />

These are the Goodwill stores that are basically a room full of bins that are filled with miscellaneous items that didn't sell elsewhere, or just ended up there for whatever reason. Some larger cities have two or more of these, but in OKC we have only one. Most things are sold by the pound, so you can get some great bargains. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I had been once a couple of years ago, but the bins were on racks around the walls and many of them were out of my reach. </span><span style="font-size: large;">The DH and I were on a shopping errand yesterday and were in the area so stopped by. I was happy to see that the bins had been moved to tables so they were easily accessible. Here's what I brought home.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">These buttons were all loose in a bin underneath other things. Nothing overly exciting, but I was happy to find them.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The American Girl doll patterns are unused and will go to Etsy, along with the darning egg. </span><span style="font-size: large;">The tape measure is a Singer and 110 inches long, so that will be useful. </span><span style="font-size: large;">Just one piece of ribbon and one piece of lace, but that's better than none, right? And the aqua doily is being added to my newest collection.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I couldn't leave these stitched pieces behind. I'll paint the frames to see how they look but if they don't turn out well, I'll make little pillows or just reframe the pieces. Sadly, there was a larger sampler-style piece that somehow jumped out of my cart before I got to the cashier. I'm not sure if someone took it while I wasn't looking, or if I laid it down somewhere while I was rearranging my purchases. Probably the latter. I'll be more careful the next time!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">And lastly, a few craft supplies and a sweet Silvestri cross still in the package.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">If you've never visited the bins, you should give it a try. It can be a bit off putting as you never know what you might grab, so bring wipes for afterward. I encountered several battery operated holiday decorations that began making noise as soon as I stuck my hand in to dig around. Eeek! The DH refused to go in on this second visit, but I had a wonderful time digging. As one man said to me, "Sometimes you find a real treasure. Sometimes."</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifX2V_wPbmaimSUWMrSCxY9bdlvtLHlfEpanvPOdkBXFcG2im1L2sdgCpZwd6XEvoBgyZZFoY-VcN6XBf5QY0CyT-YO5BKtZ603SgTCJk3mwRK5L5EgQv6-3auWdR2-jYpfuXyWeSqY6I/s1600/PM+Tree+skirt.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1122" data-original-width="1000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifX2V_wPbmaimSUWMrSCxY9bdlvtLHlfEpanvPOdkBXFcG2im1L2sdgCpZwd6XEvoBgyZZFoY-VcN6XBf5QY0CyT-YO5BKtZ603SgTCJk3mwRK5L5EgQv6-3auWdR2-jYpfuXyWeSqY6I/s640/PM+Tree+skirt.jpg" width="570" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The tree skirt was a lucky score. I was checking out and saw it on the "sold" table. I said that I was sad that I hadn't seen it first, and was told that the person who placed it there decided against it. They even gave me a discount on the already discounted price! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This large handmade tablecloth is another lucky find. I'll most likely be keeping it.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">The floral needlepoints are so pretty, but I have nowhere to hang them so they'll go to Etsy. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I think this vase is uranium glass. I love the color, so may keep it around for a bit. There have been lots of estate sale hats lately. I can never resist them, and will be showing more here soon from another "just as I was checking out" instance.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

I'm hoping to do better the rest of this already fast-moving year, but I'm giving up and posting this one as is. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Last year was a struggle. There was a lot going on and going wrong and life felt like a daily test. Some days I passed, and many days I didn't. </span><span style="font-size: large;">To keep above water mentally I junked as often as possible and spent lots of time making things. I just haven't been posting about any of it! So here's a rundown of most of the creative projects and classes from last year. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Last January </span><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://goodgriefgirdie.typepad.com/blog/" target="_blank">Jackie </a> taught this class at </span><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://papercrownokc.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Paper Crown</a></span><span style="font-size: large;">, </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">and I made ATCs for a swap organized by Kimberly at <a href="http://artjoystuff.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">ArtJoyStuff</a>.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I did blog about these two last year. You can get more info <a href="http://junqueseeker.blogspot.com/2017/01/pretty-in-pink-atc-swap-and-heart.html" target="_blank">here</a>.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">Here are the t</span><span style="font-size: large;">hree ATCs I received from the swap.

<span style="font-size: large;">In February 2017 I took a pocket/tag class taught by Jackie at </span><span style="font-size: large;">Paper Crown,</span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">and another Paper Crown class on the 26th with <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Colleen-Moody-The-Doll-Atelier-110029505717319/" target="_blank">Colleen Moody.</a> I had won one of Colleen's online classes a few years ago, and it was a joy to finally take a class with her in person. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I loved this Paper Crown class taught by Angie in March. She's doing a series of mixed media classes featuring animals. This one, the only one I've been able to take, is based on her dog Lola. This pic is actually Angie's class sample as my Lola is still languishing on my craft table with no collar. Soon.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">In April my friend Chris hosted a craft day at her house. No photos, but it was a most enjoyable day! </span><span style="font-size: large;">May was pretty much a bust for craftiness.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">In June I was invited to join in a every-other-Tuesday art group that provides creative time and lots of camaraderie and laughter. June 13 was the first meeting of the Tuesday Art Group (TAG.) We made this darling wall hanging for the 4th of July...</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I love this group so much! It's very small, and we chat, craft, eat, and laugh - a LOT - in a sweet and talented friend's beautiful home where she has each project designed and ready for us to make. We take turns providing lunch, play with her two sweet dogs, and generally just have a wonderful time!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">More TAG fun in July, and a craft day with another group of friends in Edmond.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">On July 26 the TAG group made fabric pumpkins - something I'd always wanted to do but hadn't tried. They were surprisingly easy, fun to embellish, and turned out well.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Paper Crown's Glitter Corral was October 5-7, with a cowgirl theme. On the 5th we took a chartered bus to the <a href="https://www.themercantile.com/" target="_blank">Pioneer Woman Mercantile</a> in Pawhuska. We shopped and then had dinner there. This </span><span style="font-size: large;">was my first visit, and it </span><span style="font-size: large;">certainly didn't disappoint - lots of eye candy (of course I had to photograph everything Basset Hound related) and great food!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I was scheduled for eye surgery in September, but postponed it until after Glitter Corral. Priorities, people! I had cataracts removed and replacement lenses inserted. I'm so happy to have been able to do this, even though it strained our budget. I need to go in for a little tweak to one eye to correct a bit of astigmatism that occurred during the healing process, but should be able to see even without reading glasses after that. It's a bit like a miracle!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">If you're local, stop by for beautiful handmade items from several new and returning vendors and a bit of vintage from me. There will be lots of unique gift items. You can have fun and cross some names off your holiday shopping list at the same time. Hope to see you there! Check out Paper Crown's blog <a href="http://papercrownokc.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">here </a>for sneak previews.</span></div>
