Journey





My youngest daughter headed out on her first major -  without parents -  journey.  
She left the wilds of our Northern Canadian home
and is now in Europe
where her and a friend are travelling for the next couple of months.

Before she left I made her a journal





She wanted the pages to be different sizes and messy - just my style!







 I  also included a few pockets throughout the book


I miss her, 
but I hope she has a wonderful adventure
