This shows the what it looks like when you open a flap. This is where I would journal for that specific day. Each leaf has a date written on it.

I still had more family members to place on my journal and so I used "2010" as flaps too and then I had just enough.

I had more family faces than days of the month so I used the word NOVEMBER to also put faces under.

Each face is a flap that lifts up and you have a square to journal on. These faces are all my family members.

Fox and Pixel

2010-09-19T02:35:00.001-07:00

Fox and Pixel on Easter Day.
One day when Fox was staying with us I asked him if he liked something, I can't remember what it was but I said, "Don't you think that's cute?" He said, "I don't like to use the word, "cute" unless it's when I talk about my sister. I think she is cute and I love her very much."

Modeling Clay Character by Fox Coulon

2010-04-06T02:33:00.001-07:00

Fox came for a visit and we stopped at Hobby Lobby to buy some modeling clay. He was quietly working at the kitchen table and this is what he made. The whole group of Scooby Do Characters. Good Job Fox.

Little bag for Erin's Shower Gift

2010-04-05T03:20:00.000-07:00

I bought the little lace hankey at an antique sale and wasn't sure what to do with it. A few weeks later I had a shower gift to wrap and came up with this little bag with ribbon handles. I made an alterned art tag to go along with it.

February Journal / close up

2010-02-04T09:14:00.000-08:00

This is Craig, I think he must be about 3 years old. I always thought this was a cute picture of him. The background sunset is from a picture I took from our front porch in Sturgeon Bay, WI.

Of course you can click on any picture to enlarge it.

The background is torn paper, to show a couple of trees with a colorful sunset in the background. I wished I would have taken a picture before glueing on the squares. I was really happy with it and now of course the squares (days) are covering up the trees.

Title Page for 2010 Journal

2010-01-24T07:33:00.000-08:00

This is my title page. The little girl is my great Aunt Irene.
The heart is a scanned copy from a little homemade Raggety Ann doll I bought about 20 years ago. I painted the wings and the watercolor of Irene was done about 8 years ago.

This is a picture I took of the outside door nob at my favorite Inn in Marshall, Michigan. I added a quote and made this photo into a card.

2010 Journal January

2010-01-06T17:28:00.001-08:00

Well, here is my first month journal, all finished except for the entries. The pine tree to the left was taken from an after Christmas drive home in Michigan through the U.P.

The lady to the right is a watercolor of my great Aunt Irene. I left the middle white to represent snow. I've really had a lot of fun so far with this. I hope I can make it through all 12 months.

This is my grandmother, as a girl and some of her family. They lived in Northern Michigan. Grandma talked about putting in a little garden with a neighbor, a Native American boy.
