Hey there and happy Friday I don't know about you but this is a perfect day to showcase wonderful Altered Journals. These talented ladies have worked extremely hard to make these Journals. I hope you are inspired and you too make one yourself. Just be careful extremely addicting!
Journals are so personable they even maybe your bestest and loyal friend! They don't spill the beans and they also know how to keep secrets!
I have many journals from over the years and when my children find them they will laugh, cry and most of all know all my thoughts! I have a journal that I have written in while my son who is almost 2 years post liver transplant was on the journey fighting for his life. I wrote things that was so hard to explain to a person who had no idea what was I going through. I couldn't really explain the difficult times and horrific moments to someone because I thought if I did lose my son "God Forbid" then that's not how I would want anyone to remember my little Ethan! When I made this Journal the thoughts that went through my mind was how can I show you all how I got through these trying times.. so here it is!
