today i found this journal

So I just posted a new swap on Swap-Bot for the Down The Rabbit Hole Group. 



There is two parts to this swap.


Part One: You will be altering a journal so that the journal is decorated in an Alice in Wonderland themed scene.
For example: You Could decorate the journal so it was a scene of the rabbit hole, the tea party, the rabbits house, the race to shore, garden of talking flowers, or the strange game of croquet are to name a few scenes. The decorations can include characters if you wish or can just be the setting. But the journal should be themed to Alice in Wonderland.
Once you are finished with the journal remember to wrap it up like a gift ( tissue and a ribbon or even nice string will do)

Part Two: You will write a letter to accompany your journal. This should be attached to the “gift”. The letter should include the following: ~ A description of your day or part of your day in detail through the eyes of your favorite character. ~ The location to where you found this journal ( this would be the place where your journal theme was made)
For Example: If I chose my character to be one of the playing cards I would describe how my day was going right before I was sent out into the garden to paint the roses red by the queen. I could say I found this beautiful journal on the base of the rose bush were I saw another worker working diligently. I could say that I was looking for a wonderful person to give this to.

Hey Make Sure You Read This Book

Its cold and rainy here and i don't have any books to read and I hate searching for books myself. I like when others point out books for me so I've decided to host a swap. I'm on a swap hosting kick! Sweet!

Altered Journal Swap

Another swap done! I love joining journal swaps on Swap-Bot. This took me a long time. I tend to strip books down to nothing and then rebind or use in alternative ways. Well I had a found a very old comp book that was only 30 pages. So i added more paper and rebound the book. Then I altered the journal. After a while of working on it its finally done and sent off to smmarrty. 

Below is the front and inside cover of the journal.

very merry un-birthday present Swap

Yay for finished swaps! I love that feeling! So I hosted the Swap 

I sent to mienkintoshfairie 

 He was hand sewed canvas and stuffed. I painted the whole thing first. Then I embellished him with embroidery thread, and made a little beaded hanger for him with a bow as well.
