A few journal pages in progress. I actually thought I'd finished this journal but there were 4 pages left incomplete! Today I'm adding collage elements. Will journal them when the mood strikes.

Where's My Groove?

As we all know I have great difficulty keeping the Blog Groove going. Sigh. I never loose my journal groove, however! A peek inside one I'm finishing up.

Spending the morning at the dairy barn. There's been over a dozen calves born in the past 23 days so lots of bottle feeding to do! Its been ages since I hung out in a cow barn. Not since my great uncle sold his farm in NH years ago. This is a real treat for the boy, who's getting to bottle feed some calves! The goats are being goofy, as goats always are. God I love being in a barn!

Soap Making

i've been slacking this weeks thanks to feeling less than healthy. Life has been low key, with a lot of reading, sleeping, journaling and cooking. Today my boy & I did make a bunch of soap for holiday gift giving.
The yellow is goat milk and honey, the red caramel apple scented with aloe added and the blue is a minty scent with vitamin E added. I've laid it out on racks to cure for a few weeks before packaging.
Next up is fizzy bath bombs in a cafe mocha and cinnamon scent!

Journal Page 11/16/11

 This page is wider than the others in my Personal & Potent journal thanks to a fold-out. I love mixing up the size of my pages as much as I love mixing up the size of my journals!

The right portion of this page is a fold-out.

This is the fold-out the way it appears when folded down. The other side of the page peeks out enticingly from behind. I haven't journaled that part yet, so this glimpse is all you get to see for now!
