Hi everyone and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
I hope everyone had a great start into a wonderful new year 2012!
I started the year by altering an old and ugly little hardbound journal into a 'tie-through' 2012 journal.
This is my first ever journal I created and it will definitely not be my last :-)
I really had a blast with this little project!
This is what the original hardbound journal looked like before I started creating (as I told you.. old and ugly *lol*)
And here are some pictures of my altered version :-)
before and after

inside fully opened
(all pages are blank yet, but soon to be filled ;-) )
Thanks so much for stopping by today and I hope 2012 will be a great one for you!
