Mini Composition Book Journal with Maidenhair Fern Sunprint Fabric Cover in Lavender and Greens. This another of my original mini journals and is a perfect size for carrying anywhere with you at 3.5"x5" in size, and includes a purchased mini composition notebook- 80 Sheets of 3.5"x4.5" lined paper.

Mini journals are a great size to write down grocery lists, prayer lists, thoughts and more. The right size to slip into even a small purse. This cover features one of my sunprints of part of a Maidenhair Fern and tiny flowers on cotton fabric painted soft shades of blue, green and pink that blend to look mostly lavender. A purchased mottled color fabric in blues, lavender and greens covers the spine of the cover, and a hand painted fabric in green with pearlescent shimmer is on the back. Black yarn was couched over the seams between fabric pieces, using a decorative stitch with a variegated thread for more interest. Pockets inside the cover hold book in place, and there is a ribbon and silver tone button button to keep the journal closed. A silver tone flower bead decorates the ribbon. When the paper is used up in one book, just replace with a new one. Mini composition books are available in office supply or department stores.

My sunprints are one way to bring my gardens into my fabric and art. I use many different leaves and flowers I collect during the summers to help me create my sunprints. The base material of my book covers is a heavy interfacing that makes them very durable for years of use. There is no limit to the number of times you can replace the paper inside the cover. Pockets inside the front and back of the cover will securely hold your book.

If you have your own favorite little notebook that you would like a cover for, you can contact me for information about special orders. A group with a larger covered notebook, photo album brag books, and other mini journals are shown in one of the alternate photos.

I have never been able to remember much for very long, and now that I am dealing with fibro-fog, I have an even harder time of remembering anything. I find that keeping lists and reminders in little notebooks is very beneficial. I designed my covers to make what are usually not very pretty books look much nicer. I love to be surrounded by flowers and gardens, so using my photos and(or) sunprints made from leaves and flowers found in my gardens allows me to carry a bit of them with me wherever I go.
