ReplyDeleteI'm afraid the giveaway is going to close before I decide between fancy schmancy stripes and rosy gardens. If I have to pick, I guess the edge goes to the stripes, but it's close. Thank you for all your charm and whimsy.
ReplyDeleteHi Marta!
ReplyDeleteI found your site a couple months ago by accident. It's amazing. You're so special, and you really affected my life sharing your joy and your thoughts.
My husband thinks your mini diaries are beautiful too!
I love the Fancy Schmancy Stripes design. Since I was 13 (I'm 26 now), I've been keeping a "moments" journal to write down everything I want to remember. It's wonderful what I may have forgotten in my life if it wasn't recorded. I'd love to have your fill-in-the-blank pages for a visual of "loves" and reflections.
Thank you for touching so many people!
Best,
Elisabeth Abrams
Oh goodness marta, you know hosting a giveaway will just drag all us wallflowers out onto the dance floor. I've been reading your blog for... well, for a WHILE now, and you're a real inspiration to me. Yeah, yeah, that sounds cheesy, but I'm a young and impressionable youth (haha), and I really appreciate the emphasis you put on remember the details, not just in the stuff you make but just in life in general. It's just nice to know not everyone is taking all these pretty things in the world around us for granted.
ReplyDeleteI love your fancy schmancy stripes journals.
I love ( and would love!)the rosy garden!
ReplyDeleteHmmmmm... I don't know if I can choose- they are all fantastic! I love the colors of the blue with the brown floral.
