Here is a picture of my first spread in my altered book journal. As you can see, there is a picture, there, of Katherine Hepburn. I've had this picture for a long time just waiting for the right place to include her. I'm a huge fan of "Kate" and I have her book that is entitled "Me". I still, to this day, refer to it when I need a little confidence boost :) Katherine, to me, stands for a woman who really knows herself and can speak, her mind, strongly and truthfully with full confidence.
She has inspired me to create my altered book journal using just words that have meaning, to me, that are motivational and inspirational. I've decided to use my own handwriting, for the words, as I want this journal to be a very personal experience.
The second picture is of the tags, I created, that are in the pockets of the spread. I thought it would be, of interest, for you to see them spread out a bit. I'm really enjoying having this journal to turn to.
I am wishing you all a very safe, joyful, and artful weekend, ahead, and, once again, thank you all for your friendships, visits here, and your very supportive comments. I so appreciate all of you!
Love, Marilyn

I, too, am a great Kate Hepburn fan (must be more of the Capricorn thing working with us again). When I learned that she had a box of dark chocolates delivered to her home once a week until her death at 92 years of age, I started eating more dark chocolate and I now consider it a nutritional supplement. Your altered book is a beautiful tribute to her -- I love it!

And here´s another fan of Kate :-)) and of your lovely book so far, Marilyn!
Great start to your altered book journal! Looks really neat. I haven't read that book, I'll have to look into it.
Very Kewl! Love the colors and the inspiring words. Katherine Hepburn has always been my favorite actress - Jimmy Stewart was my favorite actor. Both of them were straight shooters and definitely people of inspiration. Great Choice.
love,
