the latest crafting adventure...

The latest crafting adventure...

hand-sewing-binding a journal!

My friend Alissa Millsap

is an incredibly creative person!

She is an expert at making these 

neat books,

and she's walking a few

of us through how to make one ourselves.

I began with a watercolor blank pad

I had purchased from Hobby Lobby.

We took off the back cardboard piece

from the pad

and cut it in half.

Then I decorated one for me...

one for my oldest son, Joshua...

and another for my youngest son, Austin.

I think I'll add a few more

sporty decorations

to my sons' journal covers

before we meet again.

I'm looking forward to next week

when we'll be sewing all of the pages

together

and binding the books!

Thank you, Alissa,

for sharing this 

incredible

talent

with us!

Thank You, Lord,

for gifting each of us

differently

and allowing us

to be a blessing to those

You place in our lives!
