My journal is all filled up

and I decided to make my own

to avoid what happened here!

I folded some 8 1/2" x 11" kraft and white papers

in half.

Then I punched holes in the folded papers

with a two hole punch.

I auditioned the pages on the leather I cut from the jacket.

making sure to sew on both sides of the screws

so that the rings won't fall off.

I then found a long piece of leather from 

the sleeve portion of the jacket.

I made two slits on the cover and inserted the strip of leather.

I then sewed some buttons to hold it all together.

I also used a glue gun to keep the strip in place.

I now have a journal to put my reflections in!

And it only took less than an hour to make! 

If you want to see some of my drawings 

and read my reflections,

come and visit me at HeARTworks.



Of course, if you don't have the time or inclination
to make a journal,
you can always drop by our stores 
and find some really nice ones!
