Here's another page I'm working on. I got the idea from the internet. It's fun.
This is the journal book I'm using now. It was on sale at Fisher for 25% off. I think I paid $5 something. Not sure if it's still on sale, but you should go get one. I named this journal "embrace imperfection" to remind myself that everything in the journal need not be perfect, and that I should just relax and enjoy creating pages. I made this title page using Stampin' Up stamps.
K den, it's Marathon Sunday and I can hear commotion going on outside. But for me, that means it's cookie baking day. I took the butter out earlier and it's 7:45 am now. I best be getting to it.
Aunty, yay, pau da cookies! Next year I gonna bake on another day so I can watch the runners. So habit for me to bake on Marathon Sunday because I'm stuck at home, I forgot that I can bake on any ole day now. So lolo.
