No knitting or crocheting!

Reply:A really neat and special gift is a personalized journal.





Take a composition notebook that you can get at the store for like a dollar or even fifty cents.





Go to any craft or scrap book store that has open stock paper. This is where you can buy just one sheet of paper and not a whole pack.





Choose the paper you want for the cover (you will need two sheets) and then choose the paper you want for the inside (again two sheets of either matching or contrasting paper).





Cover the front and back with the paper you choose and cut it down so that you only have about an inch of over hang and cut the corners off at an angle. Fold and glue that over hang on the inside of the covers.





Take the other two sheets of paper and measure so that they fit the inside almost exactly or with not more than a 1/4 inch in.





Not that the book is covered choose stickers, letters, pictures, three dimensional things, pressed flowers - what ever would mean something to the receiver - to decorate the front and back covers of the book. You can, if you choose even put things into the inside... either just fluff or writing prompts.





This can either be a personal journal or a ping pong journal where you and the person write back and forth to each other.





Enjoy! Email if you have questions.
