aimee's armoire: journals: the one I made for today

I have to credit Amy Tangerine for the mini albums. Reading her any post on mini’s encouraged me to start mini books to document my adventures. I have not completely adapted to this process, I am enjoying the few I have made.

This summer I was asked to join a swap group {It has been so much fun}. At first to see how it would go, we just swapped supplies from our stash. When we all got the hang of it we each picked a theme, started a book and sent it on it’s merry way to gather pages from others.

September, we swaped a 6x6: something about us

made this mini to hold the ladies pages

I was asked to make some handmade items for a holiday boutique this year. I thought to myself who would want anything I make? I don’t knit or make anything cool.

I decided to make each of my swappers a book.

They all were excited to join me with this new holiday tradition;

I decided this is what I would make for the boutique.

You can find this mini for sale in my etsy shop here

or visit me December 3rd at Image West in Sunland Ca.

for their annual holiday boutique

Next up I was invited to a special meet and greet at Disneyland. It’s a school night, but my bff said she would take her kids and let them miss school the next day {the event is from 8-12pm}. So I put together little mini books for us to get all the charters autographs! We will just go with the pages for the charters to sign. I have put together little kits for the kids. Once I get the photos back from the night, I will send the kits and photos to the kids and they can match the photos to the autographs and they will get to make their very own mini scrapbooks from the evening. Having this already prepared for the evening, makes it easy to focus on the evening, and gives them a project on a rainy day.
