Twyla on Tuesday - Memorial Weekend/Journal

Hello lovely ladies!

I've had a nice holiday weekend

and I hope you have, too!

First off, I celebrated my 33rd

anniversary with my husband on Friday.

We had a lovely visit to a truly

gorgeous town in Missouri.

Some things that stood out to

me for their beauty was the

door on a house built mid-

1800's and the Carnegie Library

(below) built 1905 and on the

National Registry of Historic

Places.

We visited Riverview Cemetery

which sits high above the town of

Louisiana, MO.  It has breathtaking

views of the Mississippi river and

the town below. 

I also managed to get in some crafting!

I gathered some supplies from my stash

to make a new journal.

A 'smash book' of sorts.  I intend to use it

to put favorite pictures, things I want to

remember, inspirations and whimsy.

I love using composition notebooks for

my journals.  I start by covering it  with

pretty scrapbook paper.  I then prepare

it by going through and gluing two pages

together with my trusty glue stick.

I like the weight

of the pages so much better this

way and it holds up to the pieces of

scrapbook paper and pictures I glue

in them.

I am then ready to embellish with paper,

pictures, stamps and my favorite thing -

the whipped stitch edges!

Yes, it's been a most enjoyable holiday

weekend.  So many blessings and so

many wonderful memories. 

Thank you for visiting today!

I hope your day is wonderful!

Love, Twyla
