  2. What a lovely way to begin a week.... ooo aah. The tutorial is awesome. Old patterns are a favorite with me. Julie has transformed them into a fresh new item. Kari, the new yellow YOC banner is beautiful also. Welcome June!

  5. This summer I am looking forward to some serious organizing and fixing up of the spare room-craft room- so I can craft in a more visually inspiring space. Would love a pretty notebook like Julie's to keep me on track!

  19. Super post---thanks so much for sharing Julie! I love altering books. I have done them for each of my kids with fun photos and quotes. The pockets are a fun element. I'm looking forward to starting a year living in Louisiana on the 19th of June after having lived in Europe for 11+ years---Walmart, here I come! Not to mention Starbucks and Taco Bell and Michaels.........

  20. This is really pretty-I love the surprises one get when you open the book and look inside. Thanks for the inspiration!
    On here I'm most looking forward to Yellow-that was the colour given to my daughter in her naming ceremony so it's very important to me, and in my own little world? SUMMER !!! eeHAW!! IT'S ABOUT TIME. (I hope I don't sound too bitter, it's just that we had snow again last week and I do NOT live in the Netherlands. :( We want sunshine, flowers, frisbees in the park! OK, I'm done now.
