I've been kind of holding it back for a time when it was really needed, and now is that time! I've designed and made a limited number of this lovely black journal and will be offering them at a very special price while they last. I used the whole hide of leather so there are about 13 black ones, and I threw in a couple of burgundy leather ones that I will have for sale. I am going to be offering them for sale in my Etsy shop beginning Monday, March 9 at 9:00 AM, and will be selling them for $20.00 each. After those are gone, I will be using this design in other leathers like the latigo and dyed leather, but they will sell for $31. so this is a significant savings. . . . .<br /><br />There's much more to this story!

Well, I found out that I was doing it wrong, and there was a much easier way! (Hint: it has to do with folding and a bone folder!)<br /><br />So this weekend, I'm making some new journals with Kraft paper and I couldn't be more thrilled. This paper is nice and thick like the old grocery bags and has just the right amount of bits and spots to make it look interesting. It is fantastic to write on, and the edges are wonderful! <br /><br />I'm so excited about getting these books finished and up in my shop! After a pesky, major shopping trip to the grocery for badly needed supplies (read as food for the family) I will be diligently working on these journals.<br /><br />Latigo leather and wood ones, my favorite kind!<br /><br />Stay tuned!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/406422059934645512-4259753308129660758?l=julieboylesjournalsandbooks.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Julie Boyles Journals and Bookshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07512585853463126798noreply@blogger.com0
