Brazil!

Well I'm off to spend the next two weeks travelling through Brazil. I'll be blogging my adventures at www.brazilbriana.blogspot.com

This little graphic was created as a sharpie sketch, scanned and manipulated to become the cover for my little notebook I will be using during the next two weeks. 

Here it is, all blank and ready for an adventure! 

See you in October! 

paperbag notebook

I started on this little notebook back in April, and finally finished it today. The cover is made out of a lunch bag paperbag that I ran through my printer. The pages are a wonderful mixture of different sizes/texture papers.

Makes me happy, this scruffy, imperfect, little notebook. And, even happier. Last week I found this pack of self adhesive book envelopes (the ones library cards used to go in the front of books - the good old days), which fit perfectly in the front and back covers, to add a little pocket for treasures.

Christmas Lists

Hello! Thanks for stopping by. I've been creating lots, but not blogging much. Two reasons: 1 - I'm mostly working on christmas presents right now, so not sharing them here. 2 - My computer is making this humming buzzing noise, so if its on too long you start to go a little bit crazy. Anywho!
I made a little paper bag, attached a couple of ribbon handles on the top.













I made a little wedding tag, to attach to a bag of gifts for a bride I've been working with for the past year and half. I wanted something simple I can tie on to the handle of the bag. I think it is pretty.















I am a dedicated list maker, I always have at least one list of things on the go. Projects, shopping lists etc. At christmastime I have even more lists on the go. I was inspired while I was trying to decide if I should throw out some scraps of skinny pages of paper. I decided to make them into some notepads, perfect for lists. I decided to have a notepad on each side, so I can have numerous lists on the go. The ribbon comes through the binding, so it can hold a pen inside. I'm pretty happy with how it came out.

Anyways, got a couple more things to get done tonight before Desperate Housewives! I cant believe it is December this week! So much to do. Only 10 1/2 work days until I go home for christmas. Thanks for visiting!
