My Journal Has Flown The Nest.

I have had so little time lately to create ,but what time I have had has gone into making a journal for a Circle swap.This is a whole new concept for me,and as I consider myself to be more crafter than artist  I was not sure how I would fit in.But with the support of the other seven wonderful women I took the plunge.
You know how it is when you have about two months before a deadline,you put it off and off , well I did start about a month ago and was quite happy with the cover and the theme.

But then I changed my theme to WINGS and this was what I ended up with.

I decided to go down a much more rustic route and one I hope will stand up to the travelling. Never having done this before I was not sure what was expected of me

And today she discovered my acrylic stash and even how to unscrew the caps,and at 15 months old I find that quite scary.

those bottles have been removed from the boxes and were being lined up, perhaps I should have left her she may have created a masterpiece.
