I made this journal page in response to a prompt for the online class that I'm taking (Kelly Kilmer's). The page will look more balanced when it is in the book, opposite another page. Next time, I'll start journaling closer to the gutter. I struggled with the pens! My black Pigma marker was dried up (dang!) and I could only find my Fine Pitt Pen, not the medium that I really need. So I had to
go over the ink in sharpie (because it was too light). Then the sharpie was having some trouble so I switched to a Faber Castel fine permanent marker. Too much work.
I loved Beautiful Crissy.
She was a beautiful 18" redhead with black pupil less eyes. Her hair could flow all the way down to her ankles, or with a twist of a knob on her back, her tresses would magically "feed" into her head. this is what Crissy looked like -- and this is Cinnamon -- who I thought was Crissy's baby sister. But actually she was Crissy's best friend Velvet's sister. I loved my red headed dolls. I think that they are in a box in my parent's shed. I'm pretty sure that I have the original clothes for both....

I think your journaling looks very cool - even if you had pen problems.

Yes it is difficult to read and that's the good news. I think Velvet's missing along with her original clothes.
No it isn't a N.Y.'s resolution to be more vocal on site. Sometimes you just have to put up your hand.
Sorry. YKW

oh, oh, oh...I had/have(?) a Chrissy Doll...the one with the green dress...I remember...we had a Velvet doll too! And when Cabbage Patch came out...(yes I was in high school) my request was for a red haired one too! AND Santa came through for me too....amazing since they were sooo popular then...huge line ups and possible fights at the store among shoppers!
