Hey folks. It's now November, yes November! Two more months till the end of the year and I frankly couldn't be happier. I am trying to think differently though. While a a bad day can seem to be a bad week.. or a bad month.. There is ALWAYS something to be grateful for daily. Starting here, this month, I decided to remind myself, Gratitude is the Attitude! I Made a book to keep reminders of that in it! Want to see it?? Here it goes.. (haha)
This journal is what we call a fan book. Its pages are held together by a metal binding post. The book has over 50 pages. So for the next two months I am committing to writing something I am thankful for daily in it. The book was actually something I use with my Arnold Grummer stash of book making products. I removed the covers from the book and covered them with my personal gelli printed papers on the outside and inside. I first used the Helmar Professional Acid Free Glue and because I didn't have binder clips handy to hold the paper in place, on the inside I used Helmar Super-Tac Glue, while it may be fluid, its tackiness is supremely fast.
Inside page of covers.
I hid the binder cap on the front cover by placing a resin rose on the metal piece with some Helmar 450 Quick Dry Adhesive and I placed the wording for Gratitude is the Attitude on the cover with my acid free again. here is another shot of the journal again with the pages closed.
So excited to stuff this little journal in my pocket book or bag to play in. I think it's time if you haven't already, to get some HELMAR in your life.. and go MAKE SOMETHING!! (smiles) Have a grand weekend!!
