Wednesday.....

Hello... this week is taking for - ev- -errrrrr.

So, I am glad it is Wednesday.. Even happier that it one day closer to Friday. How is your week going? K. came home with a cold today. I knew it was coming...she sneezed all last evening. Bless her heart. (we say that a lot down here in the South) Bless her heart.... God Bless her.... God love her... It is just something you are required to say if you live down here.... I don't know why... it just is..... now stop asking....

Anyway, I get side tracked.. I actually made --well covered a notebook for myself to take to church. Often times I want to take notes or write down something witty that Andy says and of course I don't bring my purse in... or all I have to write on is a gum wrapper or the outside of my coffee cup, or my hand.... you know.. So, I thought I would make a cute, catchy, little matchy thing to go with my Bible......

Here is my Bible.... Yes, it is Orange..... Yes, I I bleed Orange and Blue. War Eagle Doggoneya!

And here is a a VERY, very cute little bookmark my very good friend Chauveen made me for Christmas.. It is wide Orange ribbon... It was very much appreciated. I know it was hard for her to commit to doing this project .... because you see.... she, is a rabid BAMA fan.... So far.... that is the only flaw I can find : ) Love you Chauveeners! : ) Love my Bookmark!

I looked through all my paper... trying to find something with Orange in it that was not too shocking. Afterall, I would be taking it to church.....but then again... it is my book and really I am the only one that should find it pleasing to the eye...right? : ) Anyway, here is what I came up with.... It is three different pieces of paper. I cut around the flowers on the more solid paper and adhered them to the polka dot paper. The bible verse is on a piece of vellum. This is the front.

This is the back.

It was very simple and I do like it very much. I also put paper on the inside covers and I think I am going to adhere some pictures in there too along with some more verses that I love. If you have any questions or need more details or pics on the construction please let me know. It is not time consuming but it is very fulfilling.... Much like quick fix cheesecake or cookie dough out of the tube... Did I just say that out loud? Shut up.....

Oh yea, this is what K was creating while I was creating : ) Kind of a heart thingy with floppy ears?? I thought it was cute.....

Till Later Peeps...

Keep it between the ditches out there on that information highway....
