New Budget Notebook

I lost my Budget Notebook.

It acted as my check register, my budget holder, my accountability partner, my reminder of where I was - and where I'm going.

I felt violated and lost without my notebook. Payday came and went and I felt as if I could not possibly make any decisions without my book.

I made a new Budget Notebook! See?

And, I've already started filling it up with my budgets and my spending.

I'm almost starting over - like alot of other things in my life - a fresh start!

SUPPLIES:

Stamps: Funky Four and Apple Blossoms

Ink: Taken with Teal, Pretty in Pink, Rose Red, and So Saffron

Paper: Taken with Teal, Rose Red, Pretty in Pink, So Saffron, Welcome Neighbors DSP and Whisper White

Took Some Time

I know I haven't posted in forever.

I have been going through some rough patches in my life. I believe that I may have made it through - although I hesitate to tempt fate too much on that thought.

Here is a project that i have been working on for a little while. The "rough patches" forced me to put some of my hobbies away until I could "see" a little clearer.

It's a little rough - a paper drawer/suitcase. Prett cute for the first time back. The card was a template from MojoMonday.

If I remember correctly, I found the template on Splitcoaststampers (have to love that site!) And everything else just tumbled out as I went.

SUPPLIES:

Paper: Rose Red, So Saffron, Old Olive, Basic Gray and Whisper White

Ink: Basic Black, So Saffron Craft
