Good Morning All
A few weeks ago when I wasn't feeling my best, I started writing things down, hopefully, to try to make myself feel better and for me to look back and realise how lucky I am to have what I have in my life.
To live where I live, not have to go to work.
I can craft as much as I want and help charities too.
I can swim every day from June to September.
A fab man in my life who looked after me wonderfully.
Lovely family, gorgeous Grand Children (just wish I could see them more).
Anyway
This is the book I used, just a plain notebook that I covered in white felt then embellished with some of my homemade pins, danglers and a doily.
I attached satin ribbon so that I can tie closed.
This is the back, left fairly plain.
The lace is so pretty.
The inside cover.
When the book is full, I can buy another notebook and replace it and the book slides out of the cover.

Morning Wendy, a beautiful note book cover. I hope writing things done helped you. I feel that when you do this and then sit back and look at the words in black and white, they seem more real if that makes sense. Janice xx http://createdbyjan.blogspot.com

Hi Wendy. Another beautifully decorated book.
ReplyDeleteI think that is a great idea of writing down what we've got and how lucky we are to live in the wonderful climate without having to work so we can craft when we want ha ha.
see you Friday
Love Valxxx
What a great project :-)
ReplyDeleteAlways good to count your blessings xx
A beautifully decorated book cover Wendy. I'm so glad you made the cover removable. I see so many decorated books that are fully attached and I always feel that it such a waste. Hugs Christine x

ReplyDeleteHi Wendy,
ReplyDeletewhat a gorgeous book, and such a very lovely design.
It looks very pretty and fabulous.
When I am feeling down I also think of the wonderful things you have described in my life also, and that usually makes me feel a lot better.
This is what I am always saying to my family if you are down just think of all the wonderful things in your life compared to if you lived in a country with hardly anything, and how very lucky that we don't live in one of those countries.
I do not swim or love the Sun so the UK suits me fine, but your area sounds wonderful too.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
Hi Wendy, beautiful cover for your note book, really pretty lace you have used.
ReplyDeleteLovely idea too.
Hope you are slowly getting back to creating.

Love the book Great idea to write down notes etc ai used to keep a journal I used it to write down things that made me angry or upset me as well as good positive stuff Found it very cathartic
ReplyDeleteSorry I've missed a few posts Lots of reasons for why which I won't bore you with Particularly loved the owl in the frame card Take care x
Beautiful book cover. Brilliant idea. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteLove that sweet doily!
ReplyDeleteHi Wendy
ReplyDeleteBrilliant idea to make it a remove able cover so you can move it from notebook to notebook.
Hope that the "therapy" is doing the trick.
Best wishes.
