Scrapbooking

Now I'm magically posting this entry as I'm leaving work, but I thought I'd need to post something simply because and I wouldn't be online.

I have tons of minibooks etc that I have not shared with anyone and there's a Circle Journal I participated in, goodness - 3 years ago? I simply ADORE it. The thing that made me think of it was a listing by celestefrittata at Etsy. It's in this picture here - it's the spells and charms one. Are they not so *fantastic*? So perfectly made and aged. I was seriously drooling over them, and if the spells and charms one was listed I might just very well have bought it.

Now, I love my book (but I suppose I'm biased, as I pretty much made and decorated it) and I don't think I have ever posted it other than at UKScrappers for my "Coven of Crafties" to look at their handy work. For those not familiar with a Circle Journal - a group of people make a journal and pass it round to the next person and they do something on it and then pass it on to the next person as they receive another book. In the end you get your journal back and full of goodness. Sadly these pictures just do not do this book justice. It needs to be in your hands to fully appreciate it.

And another one: (LOVE this one. I love the agedness of it lol. It opens to reveal some spells when you untie the ribbon. Awesome)

It was great fun. I can't remember what the theme was exactly but I got to work on pages ranging from Wicca (which was interesting as for your pages you obviously need to do your research), aromatherapy, healing crystals and what not. I really did enjoy it and I learnt so much from doing it.
