XRONIA POLLA
Is the classic Greek greeting for days like these, meaning "Many Years"
Hello there I wish you all of the best for this Festive season and may you all have many, many more with your loved ones!
Yes. I have neglected you all these past weeks, yes these weeks have been difficult and I was not feeling up to much....and yet life is such that in amongst the sorrow we also have joy....
My little Grand-son celebrated his 1st birthday, I saw my brother after 2 years...he needed to sort out some of my late Dad's affairs.....No, I did not put up our tree, I did however take out my Nativity figurines and some angels....and no the JYC journal is not up to date....mojo out the window!!
However, my daughter Raphaella had asked for a journal for Christmas, so that she can take with her to South Africa, she left today for a 5 month Patisserie course at Prue Leith so I had to pull myself toward myself and get cracking!!
I made Raphaella her journal and a workstation,with drawers for little notes, tags or photos, a holder for a pen and pencil and a place to keep her journal.
I used papers from Nectar Creations for the journal, they are digital and are designed by my sweet friend Nektaria.
I made this project in a big rush, so I did not have time to go and print the papers in a 30cm x30 cm format, so as to cover the folio as a result I married 2 sheets of IOD papers with the Memoirs Journal Kit.
That is all for today...keep well, savour the sweet family moments that these days bring....and hopefully I will be back with a L.O. or two of Nino's birthday party and of Christmas.
God Bless.

The floral paper on the spine is IOD designs. Details of custom dyed seam binding.
Here is a video of the project...shot on my ipad....so please excuse the narrow format (it irritates me!)

ReplyDeleteZeffy, my sympathies on the loss of your father. How blessed your family is that you are so talented so that memories are not only stored in their hearts, but you weave them into your tangible creations, as well. The journal you made for your daughter is something she will treasure forever! May God bless and keep her safe on her journey, and you, too, as you continue yours. Darnell #53
