Delight thyself also in the LORD;

I finished another journal and gave it as a gift to a friend at church for her birthday. I pretty much personalized special it for her, with her color, and favorite poem, and some things I knew she liked. She loved it. I will share some photos of it.
I constructed the cover by sewing the fabric onto a padded mailer. This fabric was from my stash and was perfect! I have no idea where I got it but used every bit of it for this journal.

Below is the back of the recycled journal page and another of Edith Wray’s digitals.
This is a recycled page from a very old hymnal that I bought at a garage sale.
This is another digital and some braille paper.
This is the back of the braille paper, more digitals and I added some stickers I had, and some 49 and Market elements.
This is a recycled envelope, doily on left. On right I created a belly band with one of the digitals and put a bookmark I made under it. I stamped a quote from her favorite poem, Footprints on it. Also, this is a full page pocket and I put a large photo of us in it.
This is the last page with pocket with a small notepad I made her, and bookmark.
This is just a couple of the pages as it had 60.
For my ticket to TSFT, I have some photos of a Chinese New Year event we went to. And there might be a beverage in one of the photos.
This was supposed to be a video but couldn't get it on here.
The food was delicious, and the entertainment fun!
Well, it was a gorgeous day here except for a cool wind. Now a cold front coming in! I did walk a little. Be sure and check out T Stands for Tuesday over at Altered Book Lover. Thanks for stopping by and have a great week!

What an amazing journal you created. I was most impressed with the pages you shared.
I let Chinese New Year slip up on me this year and didn't even know about it until I saw it on another blog. Looks like an interesting event. Looks like you had fun.
Thanks for sharing pages from your junk journal (love the cover) and your CNY meal and drinks with us for T this week, dear Sharon.

Dear Sharon, you gave your friend a wonderful and valuable personal gift - simply great and beautiful! It is clear to see how much loving work went into it.
How nice, the Chinese New Year celebration! I experienced such celebrations for the first time in Singapore, here in Austria we don't celebrate it. What a pitty!
All the best, Traude
