The Happy Book

Woo.  Distractions are amazing!

I have been completely distracted lately.  I keep telling myself, TODAY will be the day I start really writing my blog, and then fall asleep blog-less.  No more!  Today is the day!

I am starting several craft projects, and the first one (besides the cloth diaper wool soaker that I have started and stopped repeatedly) is the happy book.

What is a happy book, you say?

I'm glad you asked!  It's very simple: you take an empty notebook, and cover it with things that make you happy, what you are grateful for, and things that you love.  Easy peasy, right?  I had bought a notebook made out of recycled paper, leaves, and flowers made by a women's co-op in Nepal.  It was on clearance at the book store, and I felt compelled to purchase it since it was such a pretty shade of blue, and I always need more color in my life!

As you see the pages are blank right now.  I will be updating as I do more and more in my Happy Book, along with other crafts I start (and hopefully finish!).  Keeping myself honest by blogging!
