The Paper Voyage Journal Series -The First Village Building of 2026
The Garden Cottage Journal Workshop is officially open, and I could not be more excited to finally share this with you.
This sweet little cottage is the very first building in our 2026 Village Journal Series inside The Paper Voyage (TPV). Each building this year will become part of a growing creative village — tiny houses, meaningful details, and plenty of room to tell your stories.
A Little Backstory (And a Little Honesty)
The Garden Cottage was originally intended to launch with our February shipment. But as often happens in small creative businesses, production took longer than expected. Between printing, refining, and making sure everything felt just right, the timeline slipped.
That meant no public opening for the February release — and many of you never got a chance to grab this first building in the series.
This workshop is your opportunity to change that.
What We’ll Be Creating
On April 17, we’ll build the Garden Cottage Journal together step-by-step. You’ll receive the beautifully printed Garden Cottage pages, and there is an optional embellishment kit available if you’d like the full Paper Voyage experience.

During the workshop, we’ll:
- Assemble the cottage structure
- Create pockets and interactive elements
- Explore creative ways to use the house-shaped printable pages
- Talk about how this building fits into the larger Village Journal series
This is a relaxed, creative experience — not a race and not perfection-focused. Just thoughtful crafting together.
About The Paper Voyage Village Series
The Paper Voyage is my quarterly subscription experience that includes:
- Printed physical pages
- Digital files
- Video instruction
- A coordinated embellishment kit
Each quarter in 2026, we’re adding another building to our growing village. The Garden Cottage is Building #1 — the foundation of the series.
If you’ve been curious about TPV, this workshop is a wonderful way to step in and experience the creative direction of the Village Journals before the next shipment goes out in May.

This little cottage may be small, but it begins something much bigger — a year of Village Journals, creative storytelling, and shared Artful Adventures.
