I had such a sweet surprise waiting for me in my mailbox this weekend. My dear friend Christine sent me this cute bookish journal and a lovely card. Best friends are truly the best! I haven’t written in my journal yet but I’m thinking of what I’ll use it for. By the way, isn’t the tissue paper great too? I’ll have to work that in to some art journaling.
Speaking of journals, I think I’ve mentioned before that I work in several journals but I don’t think I’ve shared a post on my ongoing journals. Would you like to see those? I’ll try to do a post on that.
Overall I had a pretty good reading weekend. I made lots of progress in my book for book group. I still need to finish it for tomorrow. I read a graphic novel and I dipped into some poetry by Maya Angelou. And, I continued to color in the Secret Garden.
So now I’m off to continue reading Mr. Mercedes so I’ll be ready for tomorrow’s discussion. Hope your week is off to a great start!
Beautiful journal and that tissue paper is very cute. Bet you will put it to good use. I’d love to know what you thought about Mr. Mercedes when you’ve finished. I haven’t read it yet and am still on the fence about reading it. Just can’t decide.
🙂 Isn’t nice that something as practical as tissue paper can be beautiful, fun, and cheerful. Lucky you to have a friend who gives appropriate gifts!
What a wonderful surprise! It’s a lovely journal. I agree, the tissue paper is just as nice.
What a nice friend and a lovely gift!
That’s a lovely journal! Glad you’d a good reading weekend. Ooh, you’ve to share your colouring works! I’m still thinking if I should go ahead and buy Secret Garden. 🙂
how nice! enjoy!
