I used a variety of items to add a title, " I "cherish" collections from the journey." A 2" vellum envelope to hold some 2" squares that are embellished with images and text to list some of my favorite things while others are simply listed; kind of scattered about the pages in one way or another. It was hard listing all of them on these 4"x6" pages, but I managed to include quite a lot. Here's my list: tiny trinkets and treasures; learning and self-discovery; vintage papers and photographs; spending time in nature; pretty little things; swaps with friends; letters from loved ones & friends; hidden treasures. The right hand page is also an eclectic mix: collecting skeleton keys; traveling and road trips; embroidery, sewing, and quilting; old buttons and lace, being a mother and a grandmother. The calendar represents seasons of my life, while the number "3" is one of my favorite numbers.
In the back section, on one of the accordion folded pages, I wrote: Ladies, My collage pages represent a small portion of the things I treasure and cherish. I tried to list material possessions and some of my favorite things --- but my life would not e complete without my love and faith in God; my soon-to-be husband, Don; and our close family and friends. Of which, the members of this group have became such a special part of my life. For that, and our swaps, kindness and sharing, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Cathy <3
