Back in August I mentioned I had decided to participate in Karla Nathan's "Nature's Blessings" journal page swap. My beautiful handmade journal arrived in the mail this week. There are three signatures inside, each made up of six page sets decorated by the other participants.
Karla made the covers and binding and added these sweet charms on the spine. The rules of the swap were for half of the pages to be blank so the recipient could decorate them on journal on them. I didn't photograph the blank pages but they all feature pretty papers and some decoration, as well.
I will forgo the commentary and just let you enjoy all the eye candy.
So much inspiration I can't wait to play in this book! If you would like to see more of the pages from the swap you can visit Karla's recent post here. Many thanks to Karla for hosting this event. I am thrilled with my book and all the gorgeous pages!

Very pretty. I love seeing all the various ways people do the pages. Smart to keep some blank, too.

I LOVE my Book!!!!!!!
Your pages are beautiful, as are mine. I like to just sit and look at my book ;)
Unfortunately, there was only one signature and email in my book.
But it was nice to connect with that one artist!!!!! Hope to do this again! Beth Boothe
