Good Morning Everyone!I wanted to take just a quick moment to share with you my gardening journal that I have been using. I take short notes as to what I plant and when. I also include where in the garden the plants are located and how well they produced. Coming up this will be my third year for it and I've already written that I started my tomato and pepper seeds. It was just a simple composition notebook that I covered with patterned paper and then added 3D embellishments. I made the yo-yo flowers as well as I crocheted the butterflies. I've added pebbles, beads, rick-rack and chipboard. Surprisingly everything has stayed attached very well over three years now. It is a notebook that makes me smile.
Baskets of Happiness,
Nancy

This is precious! Way to make a notebook look so personalized and cute!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! It looks wonderful - thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI love your garden journal! What a great idea! This way you don't have to guess from year to year about what works and what doesn't. You know, all the gardening articles you've posted lately is getting me into the mood to get started early this year on my own.
ReplyDeleteYesterday I went to the feed store and picked out my seeds to plant in early spring. Around here, that would be in late February. I think this year I'm going to take another blogger's advice and plant an early and late hybrid variety of sweet corn. I never seem to have enough to last throughout the winter. Hopefully 2 crops will last us.
Hi Nancy, I'm so glad you came to visit me - I just LOVE your blog! I'll be sure to let my friend and fellow basket weaver know about you. I'll come back again soon - thanks for being so generous and sharing. Cheers, Suzy ;)
