I love collecting quotes and poems. Particularly ones that have special meaning for myself. I think I have done this since before High School. I was watching Martha Stewart 8 years ago, and she was showing how to make a plain composition book look really nice with scrapbook paper and other things, I think. I really liked this idea and wanted a cool place to keep all my quotes and things. I bought a composition book and 2 sheets of paper that I really liked to cover it with. I think there were other ingredients I needed and just couldn't find or never was able to get. I can't remember. We were poor, starving college students then. I began writing in the book at least. So I have had this notebook, and these 2 sheets of paper for 8 years. I know it was 8 years because I wrote the year on the title page. Recently I have discovered the art of decoupage and the very versatile glue Mod Podge. Now... I have made a resolution this year to finish all my unfinished projects BEFORE buying any more. So I can home yesterday with this desire to finish my 8 year long project. I am quite pleased with myself! :o) I think it turned out really nice, and I even still like the paper I had bought for it!

Proof I started in 2002...
The finished product....
I think everyone needs to have one of these now!
