At a craft fair recently, a lady asked me if I would design an A6 notebook cover so that she could record her grandson Tiaan's speech development. As she provides child care for him, his parents were keen for her to keep a record of the new words and phrases he learned in their absence. I thought this was a lovely idea and would make a great keepsake. Here's the finished item.
I have also designed some customised A5 notebook covers for teacher's gifts. My niece is leaving middle school this summer and wanted special gifts for her two teachers. I was pleased with the results but they were completely unique to the individual and therefore some of the motifs will not make sense to people that don't know them.
Who knows what notebooks designs will be next..... Well it is possible that one might be entitled 'Soapy Notes'. My friend Deborah, who owns Peculiar People soap and beauty products wants a notebook to reflect the soap making process. That will definitely be a challenge!
