I resisted this class for a long time but after I actually saw my friend Jolene's Remains of the Day Journal I had to take the class and make one. Oh I do love the process, a perfect way to use up all the stuff I have. I am taking a trip to the Oregon coast in a couple weeks and made this journal for the trip. I used lots of blues and aquas to symbolize the ocean water. The way this journal is used is first you make it and embellish the pages and then add things from your trip while you are on it. There are spots to tuck things, pockets and places to journal. It will look different when filled. Here is a little video of my pages.
If you are intrigued by this journal style you can check it out here. Mary Ann's class is really great, I highly recommend it.
Blogging Change
Sometimes we all find that blogging takes up so much time, we love it so we don't want to give it up, sometimes we take breaks from it but we always come back. I have decided to take after my daughter who blogs 3 times a week. So that will be my plan for a little while. I plan to blog Mon, Wed and Friday. There may be times I do so on other days but I will consider them extra posts.
Cool ROD journal, Kate! I like all the different papers, pockets, and clear pockets you used. I need to get busy and finish mine. It's only been over a year since I took the class!!
ReplyDeleteLOVE IT!!!! It looks terrific. I'm so glad that you were able to take this class and you loved it as much as I did. My Oregon ROD is almost all done and it is SO MUCH FUN to fill it!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the three days a week schedule!
ReplyDeleteI just love what you did - I feel all inspired to have a go. Can't wait to see what it's like when it's full of all your holiday adventure! Have a great time.
ReplyDeleteI am in this class and just love it..... your journal is fabulous!
ReplyDeleteYour ROD is gorgeous!!! I have made a few myself and absolutely LOVE them!
ReplyDeleteI too like the journal very much, kate. If you're coming by my area (driving on I-5 South past through Olympia, WA) please do let me know; I'd love for you to make a "rest stop" here, or even stay overnight if you'd like!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about blogging. I just stopped cold and unintentionally instead of planning something more manageable--I should work something out as you have--great idea, I think. xoO

ReplyDeleteYour journal is lovely, thank you for sharing it with us. You chose perfect pages to compliment your destination. Have a great trip to the coast.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful journal! Can't wait to see it getting filled up!
ReplyDeleteBlogging regularly does become hard sometimes. On those days, I just post a photo with one or two lines of text. I hope that your new schedule will work for you.
Hugs,
Sophie
