here is my second hand bound “journal” … many thanks to Kiwi Carole’s wonderful online class… which has been extended
… the cover is a transformed Pitman’s Shorthand book cover from the UK … each page is a little larger than postcard size (4 x 6 inches) … with lots more room for writing than in my Gypsy Journal
I am so smitten by the Paper Whimsy images … impossible to pick one favorite …
so I thought I would do a book using PW images along with some Moda fabrics
… at least 7 different faces went into my lil Queen Bee book along with a couple of other images from PW collage sheets …
…so much of what I create has a face … and I try to add some heart too…

I agree about PW. I was taken by the sheet that a dear friend gave me for my birthday. It was the first time I had seen PW work (except on the internet) and the quality is superior. I am totally in love with your book. I think you add heart to everything you make, dear.
