Dear Blog Followers

Dear Blog Followers,

On Sunday, April 20 I received a wonderful email from one of you.  My heart was so touched. 

Hello Beth,

I wanted to virtually introduce myself.  I am Debbie B.  I live in North Carolina.

I am a hobby demonstrator.  So, unfortunately, I will not be placing orders with you (as I have a very difficult time meeting my minimums).  But I hope you receive lots of orders from others!

Thank you so very much for your blog.  I am still fairly inexperienced and learning. I appreciate how you share the measurements and details for your cards/projects with us - very helpful!   Also, I have retired items, including DSP, and new items.  Seeing you use retired items, combined with some new items or colors is helpful and inspiring!

May you enjoy a blessed Easter,

Debbie

Thank you Debbie for taking the time to email me.  I am thrilled that my blog postings inspire you.

Altered Mini Composition Book

I stepped up how I normally alter mini composition books, I added a flap that wraps to the front of the book.  These books were available at Walmart the beginning of the school year for only $.88 for three.  They now are close to $2.00 for three.

 Stampin' Up! Products (unless noted otherwise)

• Kiwi Kiss cardstock

• Whisper White cardstock

• Flower Shop stamp set

• Basic Pearl Jewels
• Mini Glue Dots
• Magnets* (not SU)

Normally I include measurements in my blog post.  The mini composition books vary in the width (where the black tape folds over) and sometimes even in the length.  I had to modify the design for each mini composition book.

I purchased my magnets from DX (dealextreme.com)  
8x 1mm NdFeB Neodymium Magnet Circular Cylinder DIY Puzzle Set - Silver (100 PCS)
Item # 219204 - I paid $5.49 (free shipping)
