a shop update

November 7, 2015

It has been a while since I have done an update for my shop, December Caravan on here. For so many months I had to take a break due to beginning a new treatment, my extreme exhaustion and fatigue, some traveling, and then getting settled into a new routine for this fall.

While I did complete some special orders on the side it has been a strange feeling to not be creating all the time and yet for a season it was necessary.

I so appreciate your patience, kindness, and understanding as I took time away to solely focus on my health.

Yesterday, I reopened the shop and I am excited to say that it will be open through December 15th and then reopen in January after the holidays.

Due to my health and the rigorous treatment that I am undertaking I have "slimmed" down the shop to include the Altered Travel Journals (1,000 Places to See Altered Journals, Country Altered Journals, State Altered Journals, and City Altered Journals), Altered Journals, Scripture Buntings, and Storybook Buntings.

At this time I am only taking a few custom orders so if you are interested in custom orders please place those ASAP.

For this year I have made the decision that I will not be producing any "holiday items" except for a few custom orders for Christmas and Holiday cards due to my health and instead will focus on the gift giving side of the shop!

I so appreciate your support and your sweet encouragement in this journey. All of the proceeds from the shop go to help pay for my treatment and I appreciate your sweet support in this way!

Head on over to the shop by clicking HERE and take a peek and while you are there please use this coupon code (caravansonnetfriends) for 15% off your purchase (of $5.00 or more)! This coupon is good through Monday!

Happy Happy Saturday sweet friends!

Custom 1,000 Places to See Before You Die Altered Journal

February 28, 2015

Happy Saturday friends! How in the world are we at the last day of February?!? Time seems to be flying by doesn't it? I hope that you are having a lovely weekend! I am so excited to share with y'all today a custom order from a couple of weeks ago!

I have said this before, but one of my favorite items to create in the shop are the "altered travel journals". There are different options available including, altered city travel journal, altered state travel journal, altered country travel journal, and a couple of months ago I added the altered 1,000 Places to See Before you Die Altered travel journal. They are a wonderful keepsake or a perfect gift for all different occasions!

Recently I have received a custom order for a 1,000 Places to See Before You Die Altered Journal for a wedding present! What a great idea to give a new couple!!

This custom order was from Amanda who wanted me to create an altered travel journal for her sister as a Birthday Present. It was a lovely gift for a lady who loves to travel and yet loves her family and home.

Seeing that her sister is in a period of "transition" she wanted to give her a gift that would last a lifetime. It was truly a beautiful sentiment!

As I listened to Amanda describe her sister and her wish for this present I wanted to choose colors that were "whimsical" for her age but also choose colors that were classy and would "grow" with her throughout her life. Due to this I chose a mixture of golds, yellows, blues, and light touches of silvers.

Amanda was a delight to work with! I was THRILLED with the final results and loved this color combination and definitely plan to use it again in the future!!

Thank you so much for the opportunity to create this for you Amanda! Thank you so much for your kind words also! You are a blessing!

Custom 1,000 Places to See Before You Die Journal

Custom "1,000 Places to See Before You Die" Altered Travel Journal

January 24, 2015

Happy Saturday sweet friends! I hope that you are having a lovely weekend!

I am so excited to share with y'all today a custom order from a couple of weeks ago! I love the opportunity to create and I am so thankful for all of orders that I receive. Each and every single order is a gift to me!

One of my favorite items to create in the shop are the "altered travel journals". There are different options available including, altered city travel journal, altered state travel journal, altered country travel journal, and most recently altered 1,000 Places to See Before you Die Altered travel journal.

I love reading about other cities, towns, cultures, countries, states, etc. I love hearing and seeing other parts of the world that God has created. In this same fashion I really believe that remembering the adventures that you have is so important. I have made these altered travel journals for years for friends and love having them in my shop! They are a wonderful keepsake or a perfect gift!

This altered country journal gives the perfect opportunity for someone to carry their journal with them to record memories, document sweet events, and to use as a travel guide throughout travel trips. Each journal comes with unique travel quotes (often pertaining to the particular trip), lovely paper, pretty twine and ribbon, and a variety of additional embellishments. Each travel book is from the year 2010 to the present (I always try to find one of the newest additions) and has been altered to be practically used while still having a unique treasure to easily carry throughout a persons individual travels. In addition to this each altered journal has been made into a partial album (using acid free materials) so that pictures can be printed and easily "scrapbooked" for a unique memory.

A couple of additional Notes:
(1) In each journal I add in unique travel quotes to the specific area that the traveler is going.
(2) I love adding a little bit of hand-stitching to each project!
(3) In every journal I add in additional pictures, maps, or embellishments from vintage travel journals, books, or maps. I love adding a bit of vintage into each of my projects.

(4) With each project I work with the buyer (or in this case my friend!) to find out what cities or spots you are traveling to to add a personal touch.

This custom order was from a Roisin who wanted to have me create an altered travel journal for her boyfriend. As we discussed the things that she wanted in the travel journal I thought an altered 1,000 Places to See Before you Die Altered travel journal would be perfect for her boyfriend. This allowed me to alter and highlight past trips that they had taken plus give them a keepsake that they could use in the future.

Roisin was such a delight to work with and she knew that she wanted the colors to be "manly" and also have a travel feel. I was THRILLED with the final results and loved this color combination and definitely plan to use it again in the future!! I LOVED how she used this as a present and also used this to announce their upcoming trip!

Thank you so much for the opportunity to create this for you Roisin! Thank you so much for your sweet email and your lovely shop review also! You are a blessing!

If you are interested in a altered journal or a custom order feel free to check out my shop or email me for details! The shop re-opens on January 30th!
