Did you know that journaling can actually help you sleep? It's true that putting down the thoughts that keep you up at night helps rid your mind of them so you can sleep in peace without fearing that your thoughts will be lost. Well, that's true for written journals, anyway.  I'm not going to get up in the night to go to my craft room and make a book like this to get my thoughts down in a hurry. That's why I made this into a journal with pockets so I can slip my scribbles made on a spiral notebook in the middle of the night into the pockets in the morning.

she made the sheet music covered background, and sent it to me.
We're trying to keep these flat, as we each intend to eventually
fill a rolodex with altered cards.

The sweet bird's nest and egg are from the Vintage
Illustrated Birds set, which is a perfect set for some
springtime inspiration!

So, what spring stamping are YOU doing?
