~My Memories Book & a Glue Giveaway!~

Good morning my friendly crafty buddies!
I was in the car this weekend with my son and he yelled
"STOP MADDERING ME!"
Of course I could not figure out what he meant,
finally he said "Bradley keeps making me madder and madder
and MADDER! Make him stop maddering me!!"

You know it was one of those hysterical personal funny family moments.
We all have them whether it be with friends, family, or the dog who dug up the garden.

So I got to thinking....why not make a MINI Book, a MY MEMORIES BOOK
but not your typical big book, because they are just fun moments,
that you might not always have a picture for, or you just want to
giggle about later on in the future.

I came up with this idea

a very simple 5X7 or 6X8 book
here is my cover...and the inside of the cover page
and my first page.
I will be punching holes and making rings or attaching with ribbon in the next week.

I made the cover 5.5"X7.5" and the pages will be 5X7
I would love if some of you would join me in making
your own MY MEMORIES books
You know when something happens that is cute or funny,
I might not want to sit down and spend an hour on a 12X12 page
but it only takes 5-20 minutes to kick out a cute memory page.
No pressure just fun and easy!
Like a colorful diary.
Now instead of JUST Facebooking it LOL
I will scrap it too!

Whatcha think? Who wants to join me?
If you make one PLEASE let me know and share with me, I will be
sharing at least a few pages a week I am sure, smattered in between
other projects :)

Oh and don't forget the HELMAR GLUE GIVEAWAY!
Right here!
At 250 they give away a BIG glue prize,
at 50 more they do it again and so on!
Now you have heard me brag up Helmar for a long time now
it really is the best glue I have used, you know I am a NO BS
girl and when I am fired up I am fired up! So check the Facebook page out
I would love a PINKY girl to win it!

OK that's it for me today!
~Thanks for stopping by~
~Have a fantastic Tuesday!~

Love the story! Going to use that word on my dh, please tell him to stop maddering me! lol

Stephanie said...

I think I have the perfect little "book" thing you can use for these! It's something I was thinking about giving you anyway to see what you'd do with it. I'll bring it on our road trip. My feeling won't be hurt if you don't use it for this-but I think you'll like it. It already has 3 rings and I think 5x7 would fit nicely in it. You just gotta make it pretty!

Love, love, love the idea of this book. It will be so fun to read years from now & you will always have something to remember all of the sweet, funny things the boys say.. & of course your book is great.

That is so funny! I can totally hear Gage say that!

I also became a fan of the glue. I haven't used that brand before.
