This excites me.

Because life with a baby is very busy.. and I never want to miss a precious moment...

a lot of my ideas, inspirations, and wishes...

get lost in moments of mommyisms.

I also am a subscriber to way too many magazines.

(Better Homes & Gardens, and Good Housekeeping being my faves)

When I sift, carefully, page by page... I make little mental notes..

'oooh that recipe looks great!'

'wow I'd love to try that'..

'I could totally make that'..

and my wishes...

'I'd love to go there'...

'one day, I want to create this porch'...

GET THE POINT?

so.

I end up with a very large, dusty, pile of magazines.

Because, I can't throw it away! There are 2 recipes in there I want to make!

Well, no more.

I created my own little euphoria. A land where I can cut and paste, make notes, blue print my crafts, engrave the perfect recipe.. and store my wishes.

A journal, for me.

But of course, the journal selection at Walmart, was less than satisfactory.

So, I bought some Mod Podge, and had to work with what I could find, since my craft items are packed.

(and I REALLY wanted to dig out my ditress ink)...

The pink flower journal, was not my style.

So..

I fixed it.

Since it will be on my desk at all times, I had to make something worth looking at.

Here's a little look, on the inside.

at one of my pages.

Below is a little blue print, of a craft I'd love to try.


This book is going to grow, very quickly.
