Tomorrow ... 9/11... Is a day I remember well. I know about what happened in New York and that was a horrible event. That same day was the beginning of the end of my career. Well that's how I see it. That morning when the planes hit those towers, I was packing for yet another trip to appear in QVC. It had been awhile and a lot of hard work to get back to that place in my career. After experiencing what everyone else did, the fear set in. I quit everything. I was paralyzed to fly and for me that meant no work. I never made it to QVC. Someone else took my place. That's a long story for another time. I quit traveling and became a stay at home whatever I am.
That was 13 years ago and so much has changed. My husband sees 13 as an unlucky number. Not me. I have been working so hard over the years to get back to that happy place and tomorrow , 9/11... I hope is a beginning of a new day for me.
Tomorrow I will be the guest blogger on Stampington and co's blog. A huge honor for me. It will be a tutorial for one ofy junk journals. To see more of this sweet little book you will have to head over to their site - Stampinton.com
I hope you will all head over their and leave a comment. I really enjoyed doing this for them and I am putting it out to the universe now. This is what I want to do. Art. Full time. I live it and love it. So it's now out there- let's see what happens. I hope you enjoy the junk journal and never let your fears keep you from doing what you truly love!

Thanks so much for sharing your how-to, I love that journal.
I came over from Stampington because I loved you junk journal so much I wanted to learn more. I saw what your wrote about 9/11, and I understand, I lived through it NYC and it is hard not to let the fear take over. With your talent I truly believe you WILL be doing this full time. Thank you for sharing your talent and inspiration with us.
Oh Lindsey, Your junk journal is total cuteness! I had to come visit, thanks to your Stampington post. Thank God you haven't quit creating! You are way too talented to become a hostage to fear. That's exactly what those crazy hijackers wanted to do to all of us and I'll be darn if I let them and you obviously feel the same. Proud of you for fighting through your fears. I'm sure it has made you a better artist. Thank you for the beautiful and FUN inspiration!! You rocked it, girl.
Hello, i just discover your blog thanks to your awesome tutorial on Stampington's blog. I love this journal so much!!! Thanks for sharing!!!
Best regards.
The gal introducing your project said we were in for a wonderful treat and she was so right. Thank you so much; you have inspired me to get going. I also love the cards you have on your blog.
I'm so glad to have found your blog! Love the junk journal and am looking forward to more inspiration.
I just came over from the Stampington article and need to flick back through my Art Journaling mag to find the rest of your work. I just LOVE your Junk Journaling - I hadn't thought to incorporate fabric into them like this but the way you've scrunched it up together and layered them with those fortune cookies sayings really appeals.
Well, I don't believe 13 is unlucky - if anything it gave you the chance to take a step towards full time art. You are making it happen - nice!
