[BOUTIQUE] Yes, You May Purchase a Journal

I decided to try to improve my photography skills. Hopefully, these photos do justice to my latest pieces of art.

The journals measure 5 by 7 inches, leaving  about 4.75 by 7 inches of writing or drawing space for you. Each journal contains 100 unlined pages that long to hear your thoughts or see your visions of the world.

Charges:
1 journal shipped-$15
2 journals shipped-$25
1 journal in person delivery-$10
2 journals in person delivery-$18
(You must have a reasonable expectation of seeing me for the in person delivery price.)

To reserve an item or obtain more information, please post a comment, e-mail me at fanklubz at meowmail dot com, message me on facebook, or just mail me money (if you already have my address ;) ) If a journal is sold or pending sale, I will mark it as such.

As always, if you'd like a journal in another color family, please ask. I have a backlog of my creative genius but I didn't want to cause this page to explode. I can also make special orders, but I may have to charge extra depending on the fabric/pattern/size desired.)


#43-Two available-This fabric is vintage from the 70s, I believe. A dear friend gifted me a stash she found in the attic of a house she bought.

#44-Three available-Not vintage fabric, but I thought it looked pretty poppy.

#45-Three available-Delicate white flowers sprawl across soft pink.

#46-Four available-Lavendar doodles make a nice contrast with the dark purple background of these journals.

#47-One available-Let your dreams take flight by recording them in this journal. The fabric is a soft fleece.

#48-Three available-This fabric reminds me of watercolors.

#49-Three available-Soft grey flowers grow on a bed of black on this fabric.


#50-Two available-Red white and black make a stunning combination on this journal.

#51-Two available-This is more vintage fabric, accented with bright flowers.

#52-Two available-Tiny red and yellow butterflies take flight into the blue on this vintage fabric.

#53-Two available-Light brown spots liven up this creamy notebook.

#54-Three available-I don't think these purple roses need my descriptive powers to draw your attention.

#55-Three available-This is another watercoloresque prints.

[REVIEW] Time Weaver by Shana Abe

I meant to post this in April, but my husband whisked me away to the high seas for a week and it threw off my groove. I can't complain though. Doesn't every woman want to be married to a pirate?

Or a dragon (drakon)?

Time Weaver by Shana Abe

Imagine if the hope of being able to fly lingered inside you, the ability to take the form of a winged serpent and conquer the skies. Imagine if that seed was not realized in you but in others of your kind. Then imagine that instead of flight you received a gift that can send you hurtling through time. This gift bestowed upon Honor Carlisle proves her blessing and her curse. This talent drew her back time and again to the same man, a prince among the enemies her people.

The story splits, twists, and turns to give the reader a peek into her psyche at every stage of her life. We see innocence driven away by love and loss, leaping through time to get hints of the end before the beginning has fully coalesced before us. The confusion that these leaps in time leave send us racing through to the next chapter, hoping to find answers. Shana Abe did wrap up the story in a way that made sense, but I feel there is much more to be told. Sadly, the local library only had this book in the series, so I shall have to move onto another book for next month. (But if you want to buy me other books in the series for Christmas in July, I won't be angry at you.)

Of course, one of the drawbacks to this book involved a song popping into my head every time I saw the cover. Guess which one.

That's right: Gary Wright's "Dream Weaver". I can write a whole post connecting the two if I get ten requests (or even three), but I won't bore you with unsolicited insanity from my mind...not yet anyway.
