I haven't received it yet, but I sure am excited! Got your letter in the mail yesterday and plan to read it over a cup of tea after the little one goes down this morning. (He's trying to "help" me type right now...) I will post as soon as I get it...and THANK YOU in advance!!

Catherine :)

Buttercup ROCKS! I just received my handmade journal from her today and what a treat!!!

It's covered in a gorgeous silky , brocade green fabric with pillow padding underneath...this book has PRESENCE!

The inside cover has this adorable little tag with wire bookmark:

And Talitha went even further in her crafty work and made these adorable little tags and pocket on the second page:

The tags all have wonderful quotes like:

"Dream as if you'll live forever, live as if you'll die today." -- James Dean

Then she wrote a beautiful letter to me on the next page and ended it with:

"May you always dream,
And may your dreams never end,
For to dream is to give life flight,
So soar my Farmgirl Friend!"

THANK YOU TALITHA!!! I will treasure this journal! I already have so many ideas for it...but I think the best one is to be my nightstand journal, right there when I go to bed and right there when I wake up!

Thank you so much! You are amazing!!

Farmgirl Love, Catherine

My camera had been MIA for a bit, soooo......
after finding it at my parent's house, (where I had been cataloging family history) I finally got the pictures on the computer!!
After downloading them, I realized that the cover only came 1/2 way through. Grrrrrrrr. Will try again on that, but in the meantime-
Here is Tasha's beautiful journal that she sent to me!!
