My guess is that for most people garden planning is not on their radar but if you start your own seeds it is. Most die hard gardener’s also keep a journal of what they planted, where and how they turned out. Depsite my love of organization I have resisted this notion greatly. Today I was insipired to do more… maybe more like procrastination of other projects that needed to be completed today but here we are.
On the left is a note book given to me by Leigh Amburgey. She always makes wonder 3D gifts. Sometimes they are so lovely that I hesitate to use them and well this one didn’t seem right for hauling out to the garden and getting it all dirty. Nope best to save it for another record keeping project (maybe lotion recipes?). Feel free to comment if you have any ideas.
That brings me to the multiple notebooks Sidney had left over from school where only a few pages had been used at the end of the year. Presto chango on the right is the finished project using some left over Tim Holtz paper (shhh don’t tell anyone) and the now retired Stampin’ Up! Letters for You stamp set to spell out the French word for Garden. I thought the paper was more French in style and “Garden” wouldn’t fit on my clear block. Even the inside flap got an upgrade. To create the notebook I measured the front and inside and cut 2 of each (we can’t forget the back cover right?) and used Tombow Glue to adhere the pages. Of course I cut it a little large so some trimming was needed and added a label.
Gifts like these journals speak to me as a great way to thank someone, like a teacher for all their dedication this year. Maybe a gift for someone who will be like many spending their Covid free time out in the garden or even someone looking to start a bullet journal- they are the rage now!
