A Creation of the Hand

Every few years, I am always needing a new journal. I have had many family and friends give them to me as gifts over the years. But this year, I decided to make my own. I thought, "I have the creativity - I hope! - and all of the staples necessary... why not?"

Last night I spent a few minutes gathering the materials: fabric swatches, needle, thread, buttons, bobby pin, Red Cross pin, two vintage paper clips, glue gun, cardboard pieces, college-ruled notebook paper. The project took me a few minutes to organize.

Mind you, it's not professional by far and may fall apart in the near future, but, alas, here it is!
