Hi girls

I'm making my SIL to be a journal jar, an altered notebook and (now) a to do list pad (like the shopping lists that fuzzymoneymonster has made above)
Fuzzy- hope you don't mind me adapting your ides??

Trouble is i'm not sure what to put in the journal jar and how to alter the notebook to match. I also want to match the to do list pad.

Where can i get the pad for it and the mini calendars???

Many Thanks

irishgirl62 - how did you make the wheat bags, was it literally wheat with a little essential oil in a fabric pillow?

All the stuff on your blog is lovely....I am trying desperately to keep up with all these ideas!!!

Irishgirl - I just stamped the words for the shopping list - it's a bit wonky!

The background is made from mounting board which has been cut from picture frames (I got them from the scrapstore)
They've got a nice bevelled edge which I then coloured using an ink pad and dabbing the colour on.
I've only got about 6 ink pads so I had to match my colours up to them!

The notepads were in a pack of 6 for 69p from a local bookstore called half price books.

I got the calenders from The Range for 99p for 10.

I've only recently got into stamping and papercrafts and these were quite a big project for me but I've really enjoyed making them.
