Project: My Pictorial Garden Journal

Posted in Country Crafts and Projects

Last Friday, I took a scrapbooking class at the store
where my oldest daughter works. What a delightfully
fun time I had!! I haven't done anything like this for
many years (!) and it was so nice to have some free
time for myself and get a wonderful little journal made
as well. I would have never been able to get this done
in one night if I had tried to do something like this at
home. Right now it only has 7 pages, but I am already beginning to add to it. It's not entirely finished yet
because I need to add the journaling to each page.
But, here are photos of the what I got accomplished
at the class.

This is the cover of the journal

Page One.
The blank space is for journaling.

Page Two

Page Three

Page Four

Page Five

Page Six

Page Seven
This last page can be used for recording garden tips, journaling, a poem, etc. I haven't decided what I what do do yet.

With all the scrapbooking I have done in the past years, I have not ever made a book or journal..I think this is absolutely beautiful! I am glad you had a great time at the class and pray you'll be able to attend more of them..
Love,
Lynne

That is a GORGEOUS little book! You are an excellent photographer-which makes it that much more fabulous!

I have toyed with the idea of making a garden book so that I remember things TO DO and NOT to do (I am a beginner!) and especially-WHEN to do them (plant bulbs, start seeds, etc.)

You did a FABULOUS job! :-)

That is really a neat idea. I haven't seen journal books like that before!

I love scrapbooking but the last time I had the chance was almost 6 years ago after my son was born. I'm feeling inspired to begin again. Your pictures are just lovely. I hope you enjoy using your journal, it will be a nice keepsake. Ann'Re

This is an adorable idea! I'm going to have to do something similar to it next spring when our garden goes in!

love your pictures and layouts - simple yet beautiful. Could you give some instruction on how you put it together??
Thank you for the inspiration!
(I want to create one to describe when each of my special plants & trees, garden plants and wildflowers bloom, where I transplanted it, other care, etc.)
