I spent a wonderful month with my new grandson, Max, and his mom and dad. Now I'm back home trying to get back into my "artsy" self.
I didn't journal in the new scrappy journal I made in December until I got home. I spent a few days fiddling around with it: journaling, selecting photos, reminiscing those lovely times of holding that baby and gazing into his beautiful face. Here are some pages.
I'll be adding to the journal as the little fella grows. I have plans to make a baby quilted portrait after I finish up this year's valentines. I rather excited to get started!

Grandkids are the best part of living a wonderful life. I love your journal; it's so beautiful.
It looks great with all your photos and journaling! What fun! Enjoy!
Love it! What a cute idea to use a zipper. Hey, I have zippers . . . ouch, I'm being pulled against my will to the studio to make a n o t h e r R O D . . .
It looks great, Diane. This is my first visit to your blog, through the link on the ROD yahoo group. Lovely textile art you do as well! I am in Florida too, on the Gulf coast though, Tampa Bay area. : ) lenna

Hi Diane, I'm a first time visitor via the ROtD group too - love what you have done to make such a tactile, and baby soft commemorative of your grandson. Great use of the journals! I also live in Florida, by the way.
Super art work, as usual! What a precious source of joy to follow along the marvelous adventure of Granny and Max!!
