Crafting and a Grade 8 Graduation


A wonderful day of crafting with Darlene McConnachie followed by overwhelming pride in our granddaughter.


Working through Darlene’s instructions I learned new techniques, made new friends and spent a glorious day crafting.


Darlene prepared two journal kits for us to complete, and then to decorate using our own supplies at our leisure.


Darlene must have reminded us 8 times not to sew the punch template into the signature and what did I do sewed it in.


She was also constantly reminding us to check that our papers were running the right direction before we sewed or glued them in and yep I sewed my signature in upside down.  

Too much laughing, and socializing and all mistakes are steps in our learning - redo.


Darlene made these miniature journals as a gift for each of us.


I love the journal cover that I made.


In the evening we attended our granddaughter’s grade 8 graduation.  She was the class valedictorian and achieved many awards.  

This is my favourite picture of her. 

My blessing for her is that she will never take herself too seriously and always find joy in life.



We hope you enjoy today’s images
