Obviously I don't post much... haha! Well here we go again! We are going on TREK!!!!!
We had our first official meeting last night! As I drove the kids to school this morning I thought, it feels like I'm waiting for Christmas!! I am soo excited!
So I made a trek journal. I love journals and what a great way to keep my thoughts together!
I think it turned out fabulous, and the ones the young women will make to night will look much better than mine! lol! I used Don's spray adhesive and it is yellow so that left some ugly yellow smudges. Back to the store.... I was in Hobby Lobby debating between suede, a cute embossed felt and burlap. I walked back and forth between the three trying to decide for over an hour! I looked for premade cheap notebooks (which I finally found! $5.99/6 plus 40%off).
I finally decided to go with the suede. I splurged and went with the $9.99/yd embossed suede. Kept the hemp cord I'd been carrying around, grabbed some brads then went home to get to work. I made it pretty quickly and then got on the trek FB page and was able to print the trek logo and adhered it on the inside cover (the picture above). I also hope to get a picture of the person I walk for and also put it in my journal. I really like it and I think journals need pockets so I am sure I will add a pocket to it somehow! There is NOTHING like the spirit of trek! Our stake does a fabulous job in spreading that spirit as well! I feel soo blessed we have the opportunity to participate this year!
