Making a Sentimental Journal

This weekend I began to make a birthday gift for my friend of 46 years.  Neither one of us needs a thing but I decided to make her a journal cover.  Who doesn't need to write down everything when you get to be my age and she is only 5 months younger than I am.  So I thought it should come in handy.  It was going pretty good but it was dusty pink.  She's Italian...pink isn't her deal.  It's my deal. 

So maybe this will be mine when I finish it!

So on Monday I had to get to town to have my haircut.  The roads weren't exactly plowed but I went slow and it was fine.  After my haircut, I browsed our health food store that has wonderful gifts.  Nothing moved me so I bought her chocolate covered sunflower seeds and came home. 

Instead of working on her gift, I took a nap.  Think I was putting off the project?  I'm pretty good at that - still have my tax stuff spread all over the kitchen table.  Then it was time to make supper...taco pie and by the way it was pretty good.

After supper I headed down the hall to come up with something.  So for the next four hours, I worked on my labor of love for her.  I finished it just in time to glue a couple of things onto it and get ready for the next day. 

My friend of 46 years and me!

Next day:  I am off to see my friend and spend some fun hours with her laughing and eating and enjoying each other's company.  Yay!

Take some time to be with your friend - it does wonders for your soul!
