I love watching as you choose the papers for the journal. Amy’s new Christmas kit is gorgeous and the additional papers are so perfect. Norman Rockwell certainly had an eye for the human condition. His work is perfect for the 1930s journal. I’m excited to watch the journal take shape

Carol, your brain is in overdrive ❤ The papers are wonderful .... especially the 1933 kit (WOW) ❤❤ I am so happy to see how you used the Norman Rockwell. I have the same book and pulled it out to see about adding some pages in my new Christmas journal and immediately said, "nope, can't use them, way too big" why I didn't think of cutting them down is beyond me. That's why you are STILL the QUEEN of journal making. This is going to be a really fun book. You were like a little girl on Christmas day when you were playing with your TH paper doll on that beautiful street. Yes, I'd also like to live there. Thanks for sharing, Carol. Hugs xo
