Gratitude Set

Hello crafty peeps!

Today I'd like to show you a set that I made

as part of a prize at our 

"Girlfriends and Gratitude Crop"

We thought a gratitude journal would be 

appropriate and of course I couldn't stop there.

So I made a note pad and a post it note holder also.

This note pad would be lovely on anyone's

desk or counter. 

I received some glue from a friend that is 

specifically for making tear off pads.  It's wonderful,

and I can make any size note pad that I want.

Great way to use scraps.

Here is the inside of the notepad.  

The notepaper measures 4 1/4 x 5 1/5

for this particular pad.

Somehow I didn't get a photo of that

particular Post It note holder, but

here are a couple others.

They simply have a pad of 
Post It notes inside.

This is the journal and I love how it 

turned out.

I used different colors and weights of paper

for the pages.  I made a file and printed the lines onto 

the paper.  I also left some pages blank to leave

space to draw or add a picture.

This journal can be used for anything the recipient 

wants it to be.

Here is a picture of the signatures sewn together

before they were put into the cover.

I'm loving this process for sewing them,

if you are curious as to how it is done,

here is the video I learned from.

Nik the Booksmith

is fabulous and has many, many great

videos about book making.

Last, but not least, is the "basket" I made to put all

the prize items into.
The items above and some crafting supplies were 

all wrapped up in this Grateful basket.

Here's a picture of our lucky winner, our

friend Marie.  She was very happy with her

winnings.

Here is a tutorial showing how to make 

a similar basket.

Thanks for popping in today to see what I've

been up to.  I hope you'll come again soon.

Until then,

watch a video and try something new.
