Confessions of a Craftaholic. July 21, 2011. Today, for inspiration thursday, I remembered to work on a journal spread. It reads, “I choose to be happy”. What do you choose to feel today? Today, I choose to be happy. Why? Choosing to be happy, I’ve said before, is not something you do when you already are happy. I’ll tell you, I decided to do this, most recently through my poems. Anyhow, my poems came from me needing to get out how I was feeling, since growing up, I wasn’t exactly raised by people ...

A Cheap Altered Notebook | Confessions of a Craftaholic
https://theconfessionsofacraftaholic.wordpress.com/2011/07/25/5175
Confessions of a Craftaholic. A Cheap Altered Notebook. So today, I finished up a journal. This one, is a cheap composition notebook that I painted and added embellishments and doodles to. The words say, “Poesias Y Pensamientos” which in spanish means, “Poems and Thoughts”, since that is what I normally have in my journals. I had run out of space in my old one, and I do love a lined journal. I used these pigment ink markers I bought a long time ago, to doodle on the front cover. It’s fun. July 25, 2011.

Confessions of a Craftaholic. A Miniature Altered Tin. Today I dug up a piece I made a few days ago, and forgot to show off to you. It’s a miniature altoid tin, dressed up and altered. I added jewels on top, so you can’t see the button holes. I know they don’t match. It still looks cool. So that’s that. I’ve got to get off, as my daughter REALLY wants to watch a movie. Oh, and on another note, I want a laminating machine. I’ve got a couple jewelry ideas for it. Subscribe to MY NEWSLETTER. July 26, 2011.
