The Willy Nilly Drop In Journal Book

The Drop In Journal Book, one friend calls it

The Repository. It's a place to toss in

various photos, clippings & cards.

Another blogger friend who inspired this post 

calls them "Odds & Ends". 

My own notes & sketches mixed in with 

images of others...

Patterns to what I collect emerge...

I seem to be fond of grids & squares & rectangles.

This has been going on for years.

 A beautiful card from a special someone...

It could be filed in my box of received cards.

But it needs to be here because of the image.

Some photos & sketches 

of my old Christmas card designs.

Some rough draft remains from 

The Language Exchange logo.

(Not all of the pages are grids and squares.)

 Images of postage stamps.

I had tossed a bunch that I'd kept in a box, 

&  preserved some in the book. 

More little squares, little charts. 

For my naturally nonlinear brain 

they are soothing.

On the right, someone's paintings from a magazine

(I should have recorded the artist's name.)

More of my notes & sketches,

 mixied in willy nilly to the Drop In Journal Book.  

This book is just about filled, & I have a new one,

also coptic stitched, standing by!
