Journaling Coast to Coast



Years ago I met a lady through the mail when I joined a postcard group that she started. We really hit it off and are still friends today, many years later. She has a journaling blog and I keep promising her I'm going to start one. I finally had the idea that we should each buy one, do an entry and send them to each other for the next entry. At the end we'll have 2 journals that we've collaborated on and we'll each have a nice keepsake!

Here's the journal I started. The cover was just the stripes and I added the design. And here's my first entry, a two page spread. Now it's winging its way to New Jersey from California for Em's entry which I know will be fantastic! I'll post them all as they are created. Thanks for looking and sharing our journey!

  1. That is an awesome idea! These images look great. I especially like the cover.

    In class today (photo I) the professor showed us this box of 50 matted photos. Each photo was from a different photographer and each photographer made 50 prints. All 50photographers sent their images to a charity that compiled the final sets and sold them. Anyway, your journaling project reminded me of this and I think it would be awesome to do something similar with illustrations, even if they were not being sold. 50 people make 50 prints and everyone gets one of everybody else's work...anywho, I am wandering.

    Great work.

    I have finally posted something from one of my 5 moleskin books. I am going to check yours out right now.
