Learn Something new everyday Cover

I have had a very productive day today.

I have been in to work and feel very positive and energised about the forthcoming year (not an easy thing when you are as old and jaded as I am LOL)

I have been shopping and bought several things I have been searching for including brown tops, a navy skirt (not to wear together I might add LOL) and two new bras that actually fit.  And the tops were size 12 and the skirt a 14 (the bra sizes need to remain very very much a secret as they are numbers and letters I am not proud of!)

I also - under duress - emptied the firdge and freezer for its annual defrost (yes it is a forst free but apparently they need defrosting as last September proved whent he fridge stopped working and it was due to a build up of ice) It is no mean feat as it is a huge American fridge freezer, but everything is in the freezer in the garage which was empty or in cool bags with all the ice from the freezer so still really cold.

And I have also made my LSNED cover.

The cover was interesting. I had no real idea what i was going to do and had spent days thinking and getting nowhere.

I knew the size - 6" x 4" and cut the chupboard and then it just suddenly happened.

I had no idea what colours or style it would be but I started on setting up the digital dates ready to use each day and from there it evolved.

And as it happens it is totally right for me as it is a similar style and colour as my 5210 album which you can see here  and that is just as it should be as they go hand in hand this year.

I am planning a special September with the last push of my diet and I know that is going to be hard to keep on track so i am using my LSNED as a part of this. hence the idea that it is a motivational journey for me as well as the usual LSNED

I will be recording my exercise, eating habits and weight loss on each day as well as everything else.

It doesn't look like a book yet as I won't bind it till it is finished on 30th September or, more likely, 1st october as I will need a bit of time to sort everything out.

But here is the cover

My quote for today is

Today I am thankful for

• New school years and new beginnings
• bras that fit

I love your cover, what papers are you using?

Love the look of your cover! I also like the idea of using the album to track exercise & eating throughout the month - great motivation to do well if you are documenting it every day.

Right first things first. You are not old and Jade your are alive healthy slim and look really great. OK nuff of the slushy stuff. Your journal covers look great and I am sure it will be a super album when finished.
thanks for the reminder my fridge freezer needs defrosting too. the bottom salad trays keep freezing up.

Your projects are always so delightful and I shall love looking at your work while I'm at home. Good luck with the new school term....I've been out of it for five years now! X

your cover is adorable! I saw the link on Shimelle's blog and am glad I looked.
this is my first time taking the class and I'm soooo excited!
would you share more about what you were referring to when you wrote "I started on setting up the digital dates ready to use each day and from there it evolved".
I'm not really sure what's to come and I'm wondering if I should be doing more to prepare for this class.
TIA
