Friday Idea!

Today's Friday Idea is courtesy of Kelly Powell.

Ok – here is your next Friday idea. My in-laws bought a beach house. I wanted to get them a house warming gift. I had already picked up a little Adirondack chair votive holder in the target spot for 2.50,but I also wanted to get them a ‘guest book’. So, I went to HL, used my coupon and got a 5X8 blank ‘composition/journal) for 1.40! Yes,that’s right! So, I came home, glued a little ribbon to the spine for a book mark, glued a larger ribbon to the spine to cover it (I used Crystal effects for both and let one side dry, flipped and repeated). I used my ‘welcome’ from my warm words set and my close to cocoa, and some scraps of old printed paper, ribbon and buttons. I also wrote a little poem for the inside and covered the back as well. I assembled the cover separately and taped on after the ribbon was dry!

Hope you like it! Overall, a very personal, sweet and CHEAP gift!
