First, let me say how amazed I am at the awesome comments for the giveaway so far. It makes me want to do more giveaway’s for you wonderful readers 🙂 If you haven’t entered yet, there’s still a few days left. Check it out here.
Second, I have been doing sooooooooo much crafting and have tons and tons of stuff to share before I take a Christmas break. I start with these.
I made two more journals for my nephew and brother-in-law. Both like to write, so I know it will be a hit.
I did some embroidery on this one and love it so much! I love adding different textures and all to things. It gives it an extra punch.
And let me just say how I am getting all the things done that I am. We tell my daughter that I am helping Santa by making presents for him to give. She truly believes it and leaves me alone! (she’s a big momma’s girl, so she always likes to be right by my side seeing what I’m doing…but not when I’m making presents :). She just says, “Mommy’s making presents for cousins.” What a mess she is.

December 9, 2009 at 8:55 amI love how textural the covers are. There are still somethings that are very textural for me. Reading a physical book. Touching fabric… I am sure they will love them!

I have a tutorial here (http://ohsohappytogether.blogspot.com/2009/10/hot-scrappy-mess-journal-and-tote.html).
But the fabric placement is just on the fly 🙂
