Bee happy ... make a Christmas journal

After looking around the shops seeing different Christmas journals and notebooks I thought some of them were a little pricey.
 
 
I decided to make my own from a notebook I already had in my stash.
 
I tied some spotty ribbon around the front cover and knotted on the front through a red button.
 
I added a little angel charm through the button holes with some smaller red ribbon.
 
I then stuck on a festive Christmas card with some washi tape.
 
And voila! a festive notebook for ideas, lists and recipes.

  4. Hand decorated books are so much more special! A lovely job. I tried to decorate a little notebook for myself but it ended it such a mess it's lucky it's just for me! I console myself by thinking it looks better than when I started.:)
