A Little Golden Book Bedtime Journal


For those of us who journal, it comes as naturally as breathing most days. When one book is almost full, we're already on the look out for the next one. If you're a bedtime journaler, you know how important it is to get your thoughts out at the end of the day. Otherwise they're all circling in your head through the night.


That's where this adorable bedtime journal comes in. If you're ready for your little girl to start journaling at bedtime - or you want a super-cute little journal for yourself - you can't pass this up. It's made from an upcycled Little Golden Book called A Sleepy Story, and it's been altered to become a beautiful new book.


I always use the original book pages in my journals, and this one is no exception. You'll love this sweet little girl's tale of hearing a bedtime story. The middle of the story takes an unexpected twist, which is even better!


Every other set of pages contains journaling blocks that have been accented with moons and stars, plus coordinating acrylic dots. How could you not want to fill up those lines with your handwritten words?


And you noticed all those fibers sticking out the top and sides of the book? They're white tags with stars punched in them, tucked behind each picture in the book for some added journaling space. You could even draw on them, add pictures to them or anything else your creative heart desires.


Did you fall in love with this bedtime journal? You can find it in our Etsy shop, Stuff From Trees, now! While you're there, you'll find Christian cards, paper crafts and wood gifts for every occasion. We look forward to seeing you in the shop soon!

Holland Creme - That Amazing White Stuff In Donuts

Image
I remember going to the grocery store every Saturday morning when I was growing up, and my favorite place in the entire store was the donut case. All the glazed, powdered and filled baked goods drew me like a magnet. My favorites, far and away, were the ones filled with that beautiful white, fluffy creme. At the time I didn't know it was called Holland Creme - I just knew it was the most amazing concoction ever. Ever. Here is my version of this sweet treat. You can make your own fried donuts and fill them, or like I did here, you can cut a crevice into store-bought donuts with a knife and fill them with creme in a piping bag. Either way, you're going to love it. Ingredients: 1 cup sugar 1/2 cup water 1 cup vegetable oil 1 cup shortening 1 cup butter 1 Tbsp vanilla 7 cups powdered sugar 1. Make a simple syrup by combining sugar and water in a sauce pan over medium heat until boiling, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and allow to cool complet...

Recovering An Old Card Table And Making It Usable Again

Image
This card table recover project has been on my to-do list for months. I've been using it as my workspace in the craft room for quite some time, and it sees a lot of abuse. Here it is now, with a neutral cover on it so I can take better pictures for my tutorials. There were dents and dings in the old blue covering from metal tools. And yes, I've used my embossing heat tool on it several times, leaving pretty good scars. The padding underneath the blue cover also made it difficult to keep paper crafts flat when adhering them together, so it was time for something new. That's where a simple vinyl tablecloth comes in handy. The process to recover the table is pretty simple, but I learned a couple of lessons the hard way. I share them with you now. First, don't do this on any surface but a carpet. I tried it on the deck int he sunshine to get better pictures, but all it did was tear up the cover. Second, get a second pair of hands to help you kee...

Crafts For Teen Girls To Make

Image
In our teen girls Bible study, we're studying our way through the Proverbs 31 woman and it's been such a blessing to me, as I hope it's been to them. Every month we spend an afternoon or an evening together studying Scripture, making something amazing in the kitchen and creating something that corresponds to the verse we're in. Choosing the crafts each time can be a challenge for several reasons. It needs to be something they can completely finish (or do most of) because once they leave they're probably not going to work on it themselves - that's just the nature of teenagers. Remember? It also needs to be a project that keeps they're attention, is age-appropriate and is cool enough that they'll want to keep it or give it to someone special. But hey, no pressure on the Bible study leader, right? Here are just a few of the projects we've done together in the year we've been meeting. * This month's craft will be the adorable cross stit...
