When Dawn Gehring, Managing Editor of Crafts 'n Things, asked if I knew of a paper crafting project for the "Crafting for a Cause" section in the October 2010 issue, I jumped at the opportunity to write about someone I had "met" in an online art group. Shirley Nagel has a passion, and everyone she comes into contact with soon knows.
Shirley makes journals for distribution to cancer patients. Some may use the journal to organize information, record their thoughts, or even as a sketch pad. What began as a simple gift for a family member has blossomed into a ministry that blesses many.
I hope that you will pick up a copy of this issue and read Shirley's heartwarming story on page 94. If it touches you, let Shirley know.

I made these journals for Shirley to distribute with Adirondack® Pigment Inks and Adirondack® Dye Inks. (Stamps by Hot Off the Press) I hope that they will be a small encouragement in what is a difficult time.
For more information, go to Journals of Love. Shirley would be happy to share her experience or to place journals you create.
