Special Wordles for Scrapbook and Journal Pages

The MyMemories posts are going to fly all over the board here in regards to topics (sorry!), but my husband showed me this website via an email months ago and I JUST started playing with it after Lisa J. from MyMemories started posting about it, too. I’m excited about this one!  It’s called Wordle. It’s FUN, simple and easy to use!  Type in words, press “Create”... Read More

Journaling Buddies

How easy was that last journaling challenge?  It’s not easy having to think deeply about yourself.  It wasn’t easy for me, I can tell you that.  Opening up and sharing my innermost thoughts and feelings, even if it IS on a page that no one other than myself will be reading any time soon, takes gazungas!  I need to grow me a pair that’s for darn sure.  It... Read More

Jackie can journal

I just may be one of the worst journalers EVER.  I have bought so many journals over the years with great intentions to start.  Guess how they all ended?  You got it.  They ended before they even started.  Except for one time… In May of 2007, I had an experience like no other I’d ever faced in my life.  When I share this, some of you may understand as you’ve... Read More
