MERMAIDS BY THE SEA

I DECIDED TO MAKE ANOTHER JOURNAL, I CALLED THIS ONE "MERMAIDS BY THE SEA," LOVING THE OCEAN, AND MERMAIDS LIKE I DO I REALLY ENJOYED MAKING THIS.

THIS IS THE COVER OF THE JOURNAL, I PAINTED IT MYSELF, MAKING IT LOOK LIKE THE SEA, AND THE BLUE SKIES, FRONT AND BACK.


I DON'T LIKE THE BOW THAT I PUT ON THE JOURNAL SO I AM GOING TO CHANGE IT TO WHITE THICK CORD, IT WILL LOOK MORE NAUTICLE.


I FOUND THIS MERMAID, GAVE HER SOME COLOR, CUT HER IN HALF AND IT LOOKS LIKE SHE IS IN THE WATER
SWIMMING.
THE PICTURES YOU WILL SEE NEXT ARE ON EVERY OTHER PAGE, THE BLANK PAGE IS FOR JOURNALING.




















IT IS HARD TO SEE BUT THIS IS MOTHER AND CHILD LAYING DOWN









































WELL, THAT IS THE LAST OF THE MERMAIDS. I HOPE YOU ENJOYED LOOKING AT MY JOURNAL. I AM WORKING ON ANOTHER ONE EXACTLY THE SAME .
HAVE A NICE DAY, AND THANKS FOR STOPPING BY.

    Your journals are so pretty and will make a lovely gift. Great idea to decorate every other page and leave room for writing. Hope you are having a wonderful Wednesday. :) Tammy

    Dear Rizzi,
    So adorable, I would love to wander along the seashore one day and come across a mermaid!! Can you imagine, well your lovely journal certainly brings them to life on the colorful pages you created.
    The thick white cord will look nautical, You think of every detail :)
    Have a wonderful day

    Hi Rizzi
    I tried to go on to your email but it was blocked?? I would like to purchase 2 of your journals for my nieces they are ages 4 and 3 1/2. I was thinking the Fairies and maybe something with horses or ponies if you have it. I also love the mermaid so that would be great!
    email me at theparishouse@comcast.net to let me know how much and where to mail your check.
    Thanks
    Bunny

    The journal is fabulous. I love the feel of it. Agree with you, white cord will look more nautical, the ribbon is a bit too fancy for the naturalness you've truly captured of the sea.
