My Mini Book of Me

I had decided that I was going to join a group of ladies from Janis' blog that were doing the project found HERE.  I am a little behind but will be caught up by the end of the week I hope.  This is the first page in my book.  Each week there will be a question asked and when we are finished we will have a cute little mini album all about us.  There are no pictures for this album, just info about yourself.  I am making my album out of envelopes.  I sealed the envelope, covered it with paper on both sides and decorated it, slicing a very think strip off of one side to make the opening for my tag.  The question is on the outside and the answer will be on the tag.  I need to find rings to hold it together after I finish and post question number two.


I hope as I do this I will learn things about myself as I answer these questions and years from now I hope my grand kids and great grand kids will learn things about me as I leave a legacy behind for them. 

Yesterday I tried my hand at a different kind of creative project.  I made and iced cupcakes trying out Wilton food colouring and tips for the first time.  They did not turn out that great and I learned that I need to make my icing more stiff to put through the bags and tips but they do taste good.  This is how they looked:



Well, happy Monday, my crafting friends.  Thanks for stopping by.  Please leave me a comment so that I know that you were here.    I am not sure how much I will be around for the next little while.  I am packing up to move and although my scrap space will be the last to pack, it still needs to be done before we move. I will miss my creative outlet but promise to be back in full swing again by the end of September.

  1. Heather - this is terrific! I'm so glad you are playing along with us. I can't wait to see your other pages. And those cupcakes do look yummy. I found my binding rings at Office Depot, but I've also seen them at Walmart in the school supply section. Believe it or not, the ones I got at Office Depot were a much better deal in a tub of 100. At Walmart the packs were only of 6 or so. :) Janis

  4. Great idea! I thought of using envelopes, but decided to use A2 notecards instead. This is so much fun! I love the colors you used..
