Buckle up, it’s my holiday diary! We took a rare winter holiday and explored parts of Yorkshire, which was delightful. I hope you enjoy my ramblings.

I’ve just got back from a two week holiday to the north of the UK, and it didn’t go quite as smoothly as planned…however here’s my travel journal for the trip, enjoy!
Making memories

Something in January’s issue of Mollie Makes caught my eye…
I loved this idea: it’s so simple, but has a lot of charm about it. So I had a think and then decided to make my own today. I hunted out an old biscuit tin, and then cut index cards and other card to fit.
For the dividers I used bits of old postcards and notecards I’ve received from people in the past. Prior to this they’d been tacked onto a wall in my studio, but this seemed like a better use for them.
I also added little ribbon bits to help make it easier to flick from section to section.
I haven’t stamped dates onto any of the cards yet, but I’ve got a brand new SMASH stamp (from Craft Obsessions) which will do the job perfectly.
I’ve been a bit rubbish at keeping a diary as an adult – there always seems to be so much space to fill, and inevitably you miss days, or make a right mess of a page and want to rip it out. This seems a good alternative because individual cards can be replaced, or added, and because it’s almost a perpetual diary I’ll be trying to keep things short and sweet to save on room. I’m looking forward to 1st January so I can start using it!
