Mini Journal, Composition Book with Morning Glory Fabric Cover in Blue. This mini journal 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. The cover is made with a photo of "Heavenly Blue" Morning Glory flowers from my gardens printed onto cotton fabric on the front cover. A hand painted fabric in shades of light blue with touches of green and pink with a pale sunprint of Queen Ann's Lace compliments the photo. Pockets inside the cover hold book in place, and there is a ribbon and silver tone button with pearl center button closure. A silver tone heart decorateds 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 gardens give me lots of enjoyment during through the growing season, and I take lots of photos of whatever is blooming at any time. I have been bringing the beauty of my gardens into my gift items by printing photos onto cotton or silk fabric with archival pigmented inks that I can use in various projects. The inks I use resist fading and water, so results in beautiful images that will last.

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 tan 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 of larger covered notebooks, 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.
