The jet-lag has subsided, my cold has almost run its course, and I have finished my first completely journalled ROD! I brought it with me as a travel journal to Italy and Spain where I filled it with postcards and little bits of paper memorabilia along with what I did and the spectacular sites I saw each day.

Latest ROD travel journal

Newest ROD journal with signatures -- another travel journal for upcoming Spain / Italy trip.  I'm giving it to my friend who invited me to go (I hope you're not peeking, Joy!!).

ROD Journal Number THREE!

The ROD journal addiction has me in its grip! I am having so much fun making these and using up my scraps (and buying more too-yikes!). This is my spring journal if spring ever arrives here in NY. We're having our second blizzard today -- the second one this week.   Onto making signatures - yeah!

ROD Journal Number 3!

Love the spring colors of this journal -- they get my mind off all the snow. I used a mix of vintage and new materials on this as well as a tiny scrap from a fabric bundle I purchased. I hunted and hunted for the perfect trim but didn't find any that looked right, so I made my own from some quilt binding that I had made for a quilt seven years ago. I added some pretty flowered feedsack material as well as a small piece of vintage blue flower trim then roughed up the edges a bit.
