A Travelling Journal

 Evening everyone!

Ok, you can pick yourselves up off the floor, I am alive - I've just been incredibly busy doing voluntary work of late. Infact, I'm still doing it and it's all very exciting and interesting - but I'll do a post on just that in the near future. The other exciting(ish) news that I have is that I finally have work! hurrah! i'm going back to Birmingham Community Museums for the season - but this year I won't be working for the city council, I'll be working for the UK largest Museum Trust. Birmingham Museum Trust will consist of the community museums, the Museum and Art Gallery as well as Birmingham's Science Museum, ThinkTank.

But enough of the boring stuff. I just wanted to share a quick project with you. Whilst browsing the eighteen25 blog the other day I came across the most fabulous idea. A travelling journal. Not a travel journal, but a journal to share with friends and family who are spread far and wide. Now, I guess many of you are like me and have friends who live up and down the country (or even possibly abroad) and you don't get to see them as often as you'd like and probably don't speak to them as often as you should. Well now you can send them your latest news in a journal that you post from person to person:

This was such an easy make. It's a cheap hardback notebook from Wilkinson's, covered with some old scrapbooking paper. I added a coordinating ribbon band and then printed out the label which the girls over at eighteen25 designed. I cut a second house and foam mounted it and added some glitter around the edge of the label and there you have it!

I'll shortly be sending this on to my friend Charlie down in Dorset, then from there it'll go to London and our friend Heather before heading over to Cardiff to see Sarah and then back to me. I can't wait to see how this goes and I'll keep you updated when it comes back to me in about a months time.

Until next time, take care and Happy Crafting!
