Hi everyone
Grab a cuppa, there are a few photos and a bit of describing to do here.
I know it has been a little quiet on here but I have not had idle hands. I thought you might like to see one of the items I have recently completed. It took simply ages! But I absolutely loved making it. I have just listed it on eBay, although I did set off making it to add to my stock for the Craft Fairs in the Summer.
So - first off around two to three years ago I spotted a really lovely quality Notebook/Organiser whilst visiting our son. I bought three! Well there is safety in numbers yes? lol They have sat looking at me ever since. So, this is the first of three which I planned to alter.
I actually used lots of items from my stash. Here we have laces,die-cuts, pearls, flowers, Structure paste has been added in places, you name it, it is probably there!
You will see there are also two little altered pegs on the front cover which are detachable. How much this has actually cost me to make I do not know, I just dare not work it out so I have rough worked it out then just hazarded a guesstimate. I just wanted to do it! The next two, when I do them will be slightly different in that I will not be altering the dividers. I think it really does outprice it.
Front cover:
Inside front cover: with pocket including two little envelopes, a bookmark and a little 2016 calendar tab.
Inside back cover - there are three inside back covers which have been altered. I won't show all the inside covers throughout, just a selection. There are ten in all, and it is double sided making 20. Need I say more! Here we have one which has a pocket, the paper is pretty but does not show very well. Inside I have made a heart tag, and the heart itself has a pocket too.
Each of the ten dividers have been decorated in an assortment of colours. Here are a selection of photos:
This one has a lovely Sweet Dixie heart die-cut and a place left to slot the little envelope
Again, a band of lace provides a space for a little envelope to be slotted through. And the green one beneath shows one of the less elaborate dividers.
Well, I loved making this, it took me simply ages, even moreso because I had to keep waiting for a page to dry all the way.
So, (are you still awake? lol) That is one of the things I have been working on happily in the background.
Watch this space for more.....
Now I am chipping away at some personal cards. I aim to get up to date with birthdays up to the end of May. In addition I have two 60th and two 65th cards to make. So it will keep me out fo mischief.
Well, I hope you are all enjoying your crafting, are well and happy. Thank you so much for stopping by and looking.

What a lovely creation Judy, so much work on each page. It does take time waiting for the inks and paints to dry though doesn't it, have to admit I get impatient.
