In Sympathy

Febuary09

It has been an extremely saddened month as there was a death in the family. My ex-husband, John Russell Jump, the Father of my Son and Daughter...Jason and Laila Jump. I am unable to travel back to America for the funeral...but have created a Sympathy card for John's Mother Cindy. John had heart trouble and contracted the flu...which ended in death. John was a rustic country sort of man..love the high desert in Antelope Valley in California. After our divorce ..... He bought land in Littlerock , Llano rural territory and worked the land himself.....digging a well and utilizing a generators for electricity. He then moved two mobile homes on the property....one for his Mother Cindy and one for himself. ...he took pride in purchasing his land. Periodically, our Son, Jason would go spend weeks to months with him....when he would take a sabbatical from trucking.. Our lives took different paths after 7 years of marriage....but it's still shocking to receive this type of news.... that he passed on.

ALTERED JOURNAL

I have created an Altered Journal for a gift for a daughter of a very special friend of mine...Nicole.
Her daughter Sissy will be delighted to write in this special prepared Journal for her.
I used a lot of scraps and excess ribbons to tie the binder ring with...used some tea stamps, print papers and yarn for border around the center Image.

This was fun to make!
