I just have to...

I can't bear it -  have to post and read some blogs, and leave some comments. I can feel myself falling out of the loop... Just one hour, that's all I'll allow myself (and hence, admitting to my computer nerdy addiction to the net that I usually have! )

Besides, I ordered a collage and some brooches from Sophie Isobel Designs and I wanted to show you what I did with the brooches. Sophie keeps a pretty blog here.

I put one of them on my camera bag - now making it much easier to find in the depths of my handbag - cute!

And I fed some ribbon through The Queen of Hearts brooch and glued the ribbon to a notebook I am going to use as a journal. I love hearts, and the Queen of Hearts' black and red costume. I think I will even dress up as her for Bookweek this year. 

Now I have to find the courage to write in the journal - my handwriting is not gorgeous, and I'm nervous about wanting to erase the things I write when I read them back. But I've been following Sophie's other blog, The Journal Keepers and they are inspiring me to take that step. Do you keep a journal?
