Final signatures for Patty's scrappy journal

I'm sure some of you are wondering where I have been. I'm sorry I haven't been around, but I have not been well. I am trying to get all my OWOH pieces in the mail by tomorrow, as well as my 6 X 6 swap to Duane. But unfortunately, I lost my footing on my steps to the basement last week, and my life has not been the same since. Thus, I have not been around to any of my favorite blogs, except to tell people they have won a gift. I also hobbled to the mailbox on Friday and Saturday, and the gifts are still not all gone. I'm amazed at how long it takes to send mail to others, especially 29 gifts. Not only have I not been able to walk well, my right hand is practically non-functional. I am typing with my left hand for the most part. However, I WILL be around tomorrow after I fix tea, whether you drink tea or not.

Some of you may remember I posted the first of Patty's visual journal some time ago. Here are the rest of those pages. Be sure to click ONCE for the full picture, and twice for a close up.

I used a few stickers in the Vote page.


The king collage is a rubber stamp.


Pockets are filled with tags for Patty to decorate.


I'm never sure how well pink and red go together.


The yellow arrows are by Post It.


I try to keep the center of each signature free of too many images.


The pocket on the right is wallpaper. I included a decorated tag.


I like to leave room for people to write their thoughts, or add a favorite image.


I was definitely on a sewing kick when I had Patty in mind.


I'm not sure how well Patty will be able to write on the page on the left, since this is a painted page that also has color mist added.


There are two pockets on the left and one on the right. I made sure the image on the back (doily) would match up to the pocket, so it would look like a basket.


It's pretty obvious which side I sewed first.

Once more, I apologize for not visiting each of my dear friends who make my days brighter but I've had to stop three times since I started this post in order to rest my right hand and nurse my damaged ankles. Have you ever tried to work your mouse with your non-dexterous hand? And if I've made any glaring spelling or wording mistakes, please understand I didn't go back to reread this post like I normally do.

Thanks for stopping by today. I know it will make my day when I read your comments this evening.
