Pay It Forward

I need to figure out how to edit photos. I've tried shrinking the photos on the website hosting them, but they don't seem to have much effect here. Oh well... I'm sure I'll learn. I see an "add image" feature for posting entries, so I'll learn to use that. I really do not like adjusting to new blogs. haha.

Anyway, so I stumbled upon this neat idea through a comment written on Lara's blog (kirinote.blogspot.com) and here I am keeping my promise by posting it on here:

Pay It Forward (via Kaija, via Deanna, via Sia, via Sandra, via Camilla, via Bibbi and so on) - here are the rules:
I will send a handmade gift to the first 3 people who leave a comment on my blog requesting to join this PIF exchange. I don’t know what that gift will be yet and you may not receive it tomorrow or next week, but you will receive it within 365 days, that is my promise! The only thing you have to do in return is pay it forward by making the same promise on your blog.

(I'll have to figure out how to embed links so you can visit the respective blog of each person under 'via'.) heehee. Still learning.

Handmade Notebooks!

Make that amateur handmade notebooks. haha.
I finally have photos up. Uploading onto a photo hosting site is soooo troublesome. But here they are!

Thank you Lara for your support. I think I'll be making notebooks as one of the items I'll be selling with my sister. Hopefully I'll have enough time during Thanksgiving and Winter break to build up an inventory.










My first attempt at making the inside covers. Did not go so well...


My second attempt... much better... but I think I'll need to invest some money in a medium-sized thingamabob (temporary memory loss) to cut the papers evenly instead of by hand with a scissor.


This time I attempted to use a vellum/tissue-like paper. The glue shows... guess I'll have to do it differently.


This notebook started it all... Bought it from urban outfitters for $4 (www.urbanoutfitters.com)

That's it for now! I also make jewelry, but also amateurly. Without the jewelry findings I don't know where I'd be.

Can't wait to do my first run at selling my crafts as merchandise! :)
