Handmade Shabby Chic Journal by Connie Hughes

 Handmade Shabby Chic Journal

By Connie Hughes


I know it's been a long time since I have made a post here on 
Connie's Spot a lot has happened to me since then. My 
sweet husband has been keeping my blog going for me during my
2 1/2-year battle with breast cancer. My last checkup was all clear and 
now I just have yearly checkups. I had quit posting about a year or so
before I got sick because I got really burned out and I really
 needed a break. I had no idea it would be this long. I have found 
that crocheting is very difficult for me, because of  
the joint pain I now suffer from. I have to take an 
estrogen blocker because my cancer was her2 positive. 
But I have found a new craft that I enjoy very much and 
it is much easier on my hands and fingers. The one thing
I thought was that when treatment was over I would.
be fine and back to my old self. But that didn't happen.
There are a lot of other issues you have to deal with. But
I'm alive and doing pretty well, but cancer sucks!
Now let me tell you what I've been up too!

I've made several journals; this is my newest one. 
I thought I would share it with you. 
It's now available in my Shop on ETSY for 
Only $22.99

I want to say my husband kept my blog going but you
all kept it alive and took me over 1 Million Page Views!
Thank you so much, it was something that really
made me happy even when I was so sick.

I was thinking of doing a video tutorial on how to make 
this journal or one like it. I know my main focus was on crochet in the past. 
So, I would love to hear your thoughts and get your feedback. 
Please share if you know someone who is into paper crafts.
