If you recall the last time I posted about Carole's journal course I was planning to do a book about marriage, well, the thing is, I've changed my mind! The Mr and Mrs were just sending me to sleep so I've left them in the meantime. My theme is now Asian which is a bit of an out there colour choice for me, being the lover of blues and greens that I am. Patty you'll probably recognize most of the deco as a good half of it has come from your stash! Thank you!
It surprising what I found in the cupboard once I got started, a little kimono and some origami paper which I couldn't resist folding into a pocket!
I also have rather a lot of handmade paper, I think the majority of it probably comes from India, superb textures and subtle colours. I found various pieces of Asian themed fabric in my 'I used to be a quilter' stash. The theory really is true, keep these things long enough and they will come in handy! and no, my mother didn't type that, I did!

This journal is going to be one you will cherish forever. You certainly have an excellent collection of pages already. And I love how you adapted that ATC folding technique along with your kimono. Stunning!
Oh what a clever student you are!!
perfectly lovely peeks at your journal, the lantern makes a great page adornment ... how nice that some of the bits I shared have come in handy!

Margaret this is fabulous! I love your theme! And look at all of your cool stuff! I love that saying, I think I'll write it on a really big sign and put them all over my house! LOL! I just sewed my signatures in last night! I have plans for the next 4 or 5! They are so much fun to do! Marva

This is going to be wonderful. I used to be a quilter too and I've turned into my mother too. lol
I'll admit that these aren't my colors either, but it really looks fantastic! Great job. I know how hard it can be sometimes to work outside of your regular color palette.
This is fantastic!
