Yearly Journal

So, do you think I can do this?

It will be an undertaking... but, I think I can do it....
I have been looking at a picture on pinterest about keeping a journal similar to this... but, I think it would be MUCH better to make a "Blessing Box". 

God is sooo good... what better way than to journal it... and get blessed every day for subsequent years???
I am off next week... and think I will give it a try!!!!

Scrapbooking Sketches

Here's a site that sends me some creative juices to use with my scrapbooking.... I need some "umph" in my pages.

suitcases

I think I will keep my eye out for old suitcases!!!!

Here's an idea:
Personally, I use circle metal tags to label mine here in my sewing area. Each quilt, tote bag, clothing or table runner project get's it's own suitcase where I tuck in the pattern and all the thread, etc and "ingredients" for that project. You could do the same for scrapbooking. A suitcase for each year!?? I spray my suitcase interiors first with Lysol and let dry open. Then a day or two later spray the interior again with Archival Mist spray 'just in case'. (no pun intended) Fabrics and paper are similar in that neither one likes dirt or acidic enviorns. Just to be safe.
