| Good friend Hope and I had a special day learning how to make Journals from scratch with her son Skip as our teacher. This day was my birthday gift from Hope. How neat it was! We started about 10:00 am and finished about 4:30p.m. with time out for lunch in his beautiful Sunroom/Studio that he designed and built himself. Hope had the lunch menu all planned so we stopped at Price Chopper on the way over to pick up the selected items. |

| We decided there must be about 8 -10 steps in making our journals. Skip had the supplies all laid out and ready for us to make selections. That saved several more steps and a great deal of time. |
 |
| Here we are with our Masterpieces! We both talked about using these special journals to record our poetry. Mine will also have embellishments like: paint, lace, ribbon and copies of old photos. I plan to do some on the cover also. We were all very tired when we got through, but were really pleased with our accomplishments! Thank You so much Skip! |
