My DIL asked me to make some covered notebooks to give as gifts for the ladies who will be attending her church retreat later this month. I said, sure, I'll make some for you. Then she said how many!!!! I've depleted the stock in 7 WalMarts across South Texas since Christmas. 81 notebooks. Eighty-one!!!!!!
The study will be based on Psalm 31:14-15 and the verse and date was computer-generated, printed and punched out using the Marvy scallop punch. Other ovals were made with Creative Memories templates and blades.
And all those scraps of ribbon Jeanne teased me about hoarding? Yep. Used'em all.
