It's Show and Tell Friday time again.  Thanks to kelli @ There's No Place Like Home for hosting it. 

The first time I heard about Simplicity Journals was over at Eyes of Wonder  I remember keeping journals like that when I was younger, but I guess I thought that adults had to keep serious journals.  Here's a peak into mine.

This is the journal that my sister gave me for Christmas a few years ago. She decorated it herself.

The cover page...

This page shows clothes that I love: feminine, modest, and pretty.  Oh the opposite page is a Lane Bryant lingerie add.  I didn't want to post it, for obvious reasons, but that pictures helps me realize that beauty comes in all sizes.

The inspiration for my bedroom, lots of black and white.  The ottoman is something I want my hubby to build me one day.  I have the material, a gorgeous cream striped fabric.

This page is about my mom.  A few months ago we sat down in a cofee shop and had one of the best conversations of our lifes.  That was a turning point in our relationship, and I wanted to remember it.

For me, my journal is a catch-all notebook, scrapbook, planner.  There is no formula, no perfection.  I put everything from to-do lists, school notes, recipe ideas, and more.  Its like an idea file, homemaking binder, and planner all in one.
