I saw this on my blog reader today and I just have to make one or a dozen. It's a fantastic Junk Journal by Janet Hopkins made from hollowing out a book and turning the cover into a binder. Genius! She posted the instructions here or if you'd rather buy one you can here.
I just got called to be the activity director for the 8-11 yr. old girls in our church and I think it would be a blast to make a modified version with them. We are going to have so much fun!!!
This weekend I've been trying to fight off the urge to do a revenge tutorial so maybe this would keep me busy. Cody also bought me a serger that I have to figure out so maybe I should do that too. It was a whopping $7 so as you can imagine I have some work to do. I saw a dead moth next to the blade, yum. I'd like to kiss the person who invented canned air so I don't have to touch it.
It would be great if the canned air guy looked like this. Have a great weekend, but I have a feeling with my last image you're off to a good start ;o).
Look at that two posts in a few days. you must have had some FREE time!Ha ha-that was funny huh? 5 kids and free time-yea right! I can't even imagine 5-just thinking about it makes me want a ding dong or three!
ReplyDeletethose little books are darling. I am going to go and check them out and see if my acheivement day girlies would love it! of course they would-they love everything i do. I will have to post the "acorns" we made last week. take a hershey kiss-mini nilla wafers-still the kiss to the wafer with a little bit of pb or frosting-which ever you prefer and voila-an acorn! Put them on a plate with a note that says I am "nuts" about you! They were a hit! I have made them now about 20 times-i have them the past 15 times. At least I gave some away right?
The book is FABULOUS!

ReplyDeleteYou know he "planted" his son's placenta in his yard, or something like that! That was sort of a turn-off for me! ;) Only for a minute though, then I got over it!!!
ReplyDeletevery interesting junk journal. I am going to think about it, but as crafty as I am not, it will just be a thought. I am still working on kimbers cupcake room!
ReplyDelete♥ Very cute junk journal! Can't I be in your Activity girls group??? So cute! Yay for a serger!!! :)
