Junk Journal Flip Through: Hazel's Book of Roses- By Sara-Lee- Sold, thank you SS 🥰

[@lindaspaperworks]

Sara-Lee, I love the colors and everything else about this journal. My mother's name was Hazel, and she loved roses. One of her favorite sayings to remind us to be positive and banish bad thoughts was "Think about roses." It was a treat to see the flip through of this journal. That fabric on your desk is so pretty and I love the tassel you made from the raveled threads. You always have such clever ideas, like the three windows and the place to hang the tassel on the spine. Thank you for your excellent work and for sharing your ideas with the rest of us. Oh, and I think her last name is Traynor. It helps to compare the letters in question to other ones in the note in words you know for sure, like the way she made her "r" in over and lover.

A real stunner! I could make rose journals for years , there’s so much material available. And the fabrics you incorporated…don’t think I’ve ever seen a floral print velvet. Have noticed receipt papers in some of your journals from Baumgardner-Matula in a very small town in Texas near where I grew up, how surprising to see them in a NZ artist’s work!

Yes, I love roses 🥰🥰🥰 that's why I have one tattooed on my arm! I purchased some ephemera from sacred momentos, all the way from America, and now it's made it's way back there 😂😂😂 so funny. I just love having a big variety of ephemera, nz stuff is great, but lots of ephemera is better 😂💛
