Getting Messy

How's your weekend going so far, good I hope. It's been wet and gloomy here and all the snow has finally gone in the valley although there's plenty still on the hills. It just looks very soggy and wet. I know, we're never pleased are we.

One of the things I wanted to do this year is make more practical things rather than just cards all the time that sit in boxes because I can't part with them, yes I know it's very silly, but I do get attached, that's why I prefer scrapbooking, I don't have to give those away!!

One of my blogging buddies Lesley has a lovely blog where she posts photos of her garden throughout the year, and layouts she has done and she is going to keep a journal with photos in instead this year. I loved that idea and thought I'd do the same. I always keep a note of what has done well in the garden and what I need to do but the idea of making a book and including photos really appealed.

I then saw the article in this months Craft Stamper about making a journal and hey presto I thought, that's perfect. I'll make my own.

With this is mind I spent a lovely morning yesterday playing with my glimmer mists and screens to make the covers and pages for my book. Here they all are drying on the kitchen surfaces while I had my lunch!!


It's coming together today so hopefully tomorrow, I'll be able to show you the finished article. I can't wait to get filling it in.

Thank you for stopping by. Enjoy your Sunday.
