Pay It Forward

A few weeks ago I signed up to participate in "Pay It Forward". Debbie @ http://onevintagehag.blogspot.com has sent me the sweetest gift. The gift had to be handmade/crafted by the giver. She claimed she wasn't that creative, but I think she did a marvelous job. The notebook is so useful and it matches my tablecloth. The notebook has uplifting quotes and words of inspiration. It even has frogs, which I told her I like.

Let's look inside. A ruler, always helpful for drawing out a floorcloth design, Post it notes, I can tag favorite pages in a magazine to reference later. Pencils and erasers, because YES, contrary to popular belief I do make a mistake now and then and need to use an eraser. :) Tabs for sorting the filler paper and highlighters.
I've put this in my van and carry it with me all the time now. I just never know when I'll get inspired and it's nice to have this to jot down notes or designs. Thanks, Deb!! I do apologize the post is getting up so late, but I love my new notebook and want to share with everyone your wonderful creativity and thoughtfulness.

Hey me again, I had to laugh when I saw your note about the open window, keep it to yourself but behind that window is the bedroom of our 20 year old son,and I have not seen his floor for sometime, and I have to leave his window open cause it smells like the gym in his room......sorry if I spoiled the image for you!!! HAAHAHA...talk soon!!

Great idea ! The thing that stops me dead in my tracks is HOW to put the logo into my blog....no clue.
I'm lucky I know how to turn on the computer.
My entire blog is trial and error!
Someone sent me an award weeks ago and I don't even know what to do about it!!
sheesh!

This is sweet. she really personalized the notebook - fitting just for you. With all the technology provides, we really still need that handy notebook :-) It's just so nice scribbling things :-)

I wonder what made you like frogs :-)
