Well ladies, I tried to be organized but as the pictures uploaded they got a bit mixed up. I did not show the coffee stained pages for me to write on and the dangly beads did not show up in the back of the smash book photo. I've already written the ten plus things I love about Autumn!
I love it and the pen to write with. You are very creative, April.
Thank you!

You know, once upon a time hay string was yellow or white. Then someone decided to up the game! Now there is black, orange, aqua, turquoise,royal blue, etc. My favorite is red and white that is twisted and reminds me of candy canes. So I used some hay twine on your tags. I remember the year a neighboring county's extension group asked me to demonstrate how to make a snowman wreath. I told that group I did not know how I could craft without baling wire, I used it for so many things. Anyway I pull a lot of hay string from big round "tater tot" bales as well as the three string bales of alfalfa that are fed around here. Then there are the feed back strings. Just don't let me go there!

Maddie guess what I got . OH my goodness. You wouldn't have taken a picture of it would you? Maddie there are no words to describe how much I luv the Fall theme journal you made for me. I luv the inside with folded pages and all the colors and stamping and tags , fabric, and the trimming . I do have to ask what is it on the paper. all the different colors. Is it from a ink pad. Maddie I just love. You are so talented. I can't even say Thank you is not near enough. Luv the little canning jar magnets . Really cute.
You put so much work in my journal . And you know me well my friend. Giving you a Big Hug.

Hugs Marlee

Marlene, Sooo happy you like it. I did take just a few pictures, as there were so many pages. My favorite was of the five little spiders ;-) Yes, I used ink & Old English Furniture Stain, lol. My favorite way to craft, just toss it up & see where it lands.

Kristi, thank you SO much for my beautiful smash book. I absolutely love it and have enjoyed looking through it several times already. What kind of ahesive do you use to adhere the papers? It seems to be much sturdier than the runners that I use. Thank you again, it's gorgeous!

This is not the whole book, but every spread is just as beautiful so I had to share. Thanks again!

Sarah - I use a 3M Adhesive Tape Gun that I bought at Micheal's. Big pink tape runner. I buy generic tape off of Amazon to save some money. I'm so glad you liked the book. I started from scratch with two pieces of book board/chip board and used heavy scrapbook paper for each of the pages. This was my first time using my "Cinch" that I bought years ago, to bind the book. I think I will be making more now that I have finished one :-)

Loving these swaps. Get me out of my comfort zone and do some projects I have been dreaming about.

Me too! I love old trucks. When I was a little kid my grandpa had an old blue truck. It was the farm truck, family vehicle, in autumn he mounted a big circular saw blade to the front bumper( bumpers were not fiberglass back then), then he rigged it up to the trucks engine so he could cut firewood...for the wood bookstore and the fireplace.
Thanks for reminding me!
