Before Pinterest . . .

I guess Pinterest was made for people like me . . . who before the Internet and the idea of virtual boards and pins . . . put all of my ideas in a notebook.  Before throwing away a magazine I would cut out the pictures and patterns that I liked and glue them into a notebook.  I still do this a little bit . . . even though Pinterest makes this much easier to do online . . . I still like my Idea Notebooks.  Nothing fancy . . . just a glue stick, a composition book, and pictures of things I like or want to try making.  I have a separate Idea Notebook just for Halloween ideas. 

I had a few pictures that I wanted to glue into a book today - and someone else had to get in on the cutting and gluing.  Everything is more fun with Charlotte helping . . . and more messy.

Mod Podge

My friend took pages out of old books and Mod Podge and used them to cover these letters to hang in our library at school.  I think they turned out so cute . . .  and thought they would be fun to share.
