More Journal Pages...

Can you believe that the spring holidays are almost upon us? My goodness, I was caught up short when one of my sons talked about Palm Sunday! Already!!!

I have been working on my latest journal, creating more pages using adhesive backed fabric. I have two more units of this type of pages before I begin adding other type of pages and decorating all of them.

I also added a couple pages of my latest fabric paper. I plan on using these in this journal. Here are the pictures of my latest page creations...

And here are a couple pictures of the fabric paper...

Big guild meeting tonight so I will be tied up most of the evening. Not sure what is going to happen as the person in charge of the program has not been in touch for several weeks. And believe me, I have tried everything to make contact. If they don't show, we have enough discussion and decisions to make as a guild to keep us busy.

That's all for today...

See you tomorrow...

CRAFTING IDEAS

I am always looking for a small piece of paper to write down something which will later be disposed of. I decided to use some of the scrap paper of which I have a ton. I mostly use the paper for glueing projects. I decided to cut the paper into a small size. (Six pieces from a piece of copy paper.). But just having them sitting on my desk would get messy without a container. So, using a cardboard box, I cut it down to size and using a hot glue gun I glued the ends together. Using a picture from a magazine cut into pieces and stick craft glue, I glued the pieces to the box inside and out. I also used some decorative tape for the outside edges. And to finish the top corners which were not covered, I used straight pins with colorful tops. Looks nice and works well.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

So in looking over your habits what did you find? Some popular good habits folks have are: Meditation, exercise, journal writing, flossing, reading and walking up early. Some not so great habits included smoking, saying yes, swearing, tolerating folks, not sleeping enough, always complaining and constantly making excuses. Do you have more good habits or more bad habits? Is it time to change? If so, start with the easiest bad habit to change, not the hardest. This will give the best chance of success. Decide on the best way for you to change your habit. Worry too much? Set a time to worry and then stop. You may have to stop yourself several times at the beginning but keep it up and you will worry less. Or, alternatively, write the worry down as well as options to stop the problem. Just figure out which way to stop is best for you.
