I had no idea what if anything I was going to get my niece Milla for her 12th birthday. While we were all visiting my mother-in-law I found a letter Milla had written to no one in particular. I'm not gonna lie, I read it. It wasn't too personal, but it led me to think Milla could benefit from a journal. So I decided to make her one that would be discreetly disguised as an old book. I went to the Salvation Army and was pleasantly surprised with what I found, though it took just about forever. I found this old book which appears to be about womens' suffrage, but the cover is so cool! It's full of bright 70's colors and has one larger female face that is really pretty. It is called Never Jam Today. I looked up a bunch of tutorials that were very confusing, but I've come so far as ripping out the old pages, folding and binding the new "signatures" and now they are drying onto a ribbon waiting to be inserted into the cover. It is am exciting new adventure.
I am taking a break from making things for my shop to work on some presents. My niece's birthday is the beginning of the month, my nephew's is the middle, my daughter's is at the end, and my son's is the beginning of May!! I am also putting together their combined birthday party. Should be a busy blast!
