I know the pics are not the best but I still wanted to share. Of course my first journal is PINK! I also used another favorite theme, cupcakes! I think my therapist persona shows through too because I believe in dreams! No matter your age, income, education, whatever! Dreams keep us motivated and longing for something that we have the power to implement or change! That's part of what life is about I think! 
I used lots of vintage items too. Yet another of my passions! You'll note there is vintage ribbon and lots of vintage buttons.
One of my jars of vintage buttons. The jar is vintage too! Go figure!
Here's a picture of the inside cover! I used a vintage inspired image along with some vintage music sheets.
Thanks for taking the time to read my "dream" for this year. Your comments are appreciated!
Hugs,
Jacalyn

Happy Pink Saturday Jacalyn...
I love your post. The journal is so beautiful. I love the cupcakes and the sweet dreams. That is what we all pray for when we close our eyes, so maybe if you read that before you close your eyes, you will rest great.
I love the stained edges of the paper (or are they burned?) Makes it look so antique and all, and the use of the antique buttons and ribbon is just devine. Job well done.
You encourage me to try one myself. This is going to be a fun year for all of us.

You have made some very nice things. You are more talented than you think. I loved seeing some of your creations.

Nice job on your first journal. I especially like the cupcake theme. I look forward to seeing what you come up with next. Hope you have a great Pink Saturday!
Happy Pink Saturday, Jacalyn!
Love the journal, cupcakes, everything! I'm trying my hand at altered bottles this year!
I so know what you mean by not a natural artist, that's me too! I TRY and TRY. Some things I can handle, others not so much!!
Here's to 2010!!

Hi, Jacalyn,
