Being Crafty...The Birthday Present...

i've been wanting to learn to make my own journal...i journal everyday and have gone through so many store bought journals...since i found etsy, i have bought a few and absolutely love them...i so admire the beautiful journals i've bought and see on etsy...so i thought i would try to make one for my husband for his birthday...here's a glimpse of how it went...




i have to thank randi, of ragnazldnar for being so helpful and encouraging through this whole process...her tutorial was awesome and she was there for me every step of the way...thank you randi...you are one of those etsy angels i can add to my list...


as for me...my fingers are still sore...but it is well worth it...
my husband loved the journal...do you see the bead i put on?...
my son was proud of me and encouraged me along the way as well...
i'll be making more for our personal family journal stash...after my fingers feel better...

Happiness...

"Tell everyone you know: "My happiness depends on me, so you're off the hook." And then demonstrate it. Be happy, no matter what they're doing. Practice feeling good, no matter what. And before you know it, you will not give anyone else responsibility for th e way you feel—and then, you'll love them all. Because the only reason you don't love them, is because you're using them as your excuse to not feel good."
