JOURNALING "JOURNEY"

Here is the "New and IMPROVED" Journal that you made for me!  It is simply gorgeous, and I LOVE the pockets on the side.  They are JUST RIGHT for us to send photos and other things that we want to share with each other.  You did a great job, Anelise!  I'm tickled "pink".  LOL 
(Luke 6:38)

You chose the perfect colors.  It even matches the "old and well used" journal that you first picked out.  That journal has seen MANY miles, hasn't it?  I can't wait to use the new one.  (I wonder what adventures we will face in the year(s) that this journal will cover?  Who knows?  (Jeremiah 29:11)

I hung the potholder you made 
right over the coffee cup rack.  It looks good there, doesn't it?  You did a really good job on the patchwork design, and I love the colors you chose.  (Of course you know that "blue" is my favorite color.) 
(Proverbs 31:13b) 


I love you!
