How awesome it is to finish a journal...
ReplyDeleteI have so many with half done pages. Great job, and your pages are beautiful!!!
i agree with Martha, all pages in a video would be lovely. So great you filled this one completely!
ReplyDeleteYay Lori!! Good for you. You know there are always a few unfinished pages in my journals...don't know why. I love your orange journal, and your handwriting is beautiful Lori.
ReplyDeleteYes, I would say it's chocolate time for sure!!
Congratulations on finishing your beautiful journal! Since I have one finished journal under my belt and multitudes of unfinished journals, I know what a good feeling that is. I've decided that, for me, it's better to work consecutively page by page rather than to keep hopping and jumping around. And before starting a new page, I like to start at the beginning of the journal and look at each completed page again. It's a nice sense of accomplishment.
ReplyDeleteReally love this quote; I'm in the middle of hoping this is true.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely gift~
Yayyeeee lori!!!! i love this! I love your journaling and your journals! I am really excited for you, can you tell?!

ReplyDeleteI'm so proud of you!!! Beautiful penmanship!!!
Although...I kinda started with the chocolate stash before you did.
I know what you mean. I have journals and sketchbooks and notepads all filled halfway. Nothing ever gets "done." Kuddos to you!
ReplyDeleteWonderful colors, oh how I've missed you. I get a new computer for Christmas, Yeahhh! Mine is so old and freezes up so much I have gotten to where I don't even like to try any more. It let me in today so I am visiting a few favorite people, you ate one!!
ReplyDeletebeautiful Lori and oh so true, what a great thinker that E was. Hugs

ReplyDeleteCongratulations on a beautiful completion to your journal. This layout is so inspiring and memorable with the Einstein quote. Chocolate is definitely a perfect reward. Happy eating...
ReplyDeleteIt amazes me how many times I find words on other blogs that tug at my heart for current things going on in my life. Thank you for these inspirational and encouraging words and for the brightness of your charming page!!
ReplyDeletei have NEVER filled an entire journal BEFORE i have run out and found a new one that i simply MUST have!
ReplyDeleteso this, dear sweet funny friend of mine...

I must tell you, Lori, that I've never been an orange person until I met you! I have been following along as you worked on this journal, and the bright and happy orange/yellow/golden/peachy goodness of your palette has continually brought a broad smile and an instant feeling of, well, cheerfulness!!! Thank you!
ReplyDeletexo :-)
Yippee! Oh, Martha is so right, Lori! You need to show us the whole thing in a video. I'd sooo love that...we all would! vi-de-o!vi-de-o!
ReplyDelete... See, I can be a real riot instigator when I want to be!
