While building this mini, I broke 2 nails, somehow bruised a knuckle (????), and ended up with a blue thumb. I HAD SO MUCH FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!
I went places I didn't plan on - and loved it - because of this journal. The huge variety in pages, the healthy collection of badges, tags, and extras... made me look like a rock star to my family. *love*
And love (and how I show it) is what this mini is all about. Specifically it's about the weekend I spent cooking for my family as part of their Christmas gift from me to them. It's also partly a love note to my oldest son, as he ended up becoming a kitchen elf for a day and gave me some unexpected - and much appreciated - help.
Here's a sneak peek inside this mini. Enjoy!

Rock candy... nothing says love like boiling sugar! |

Who knew you could write on those cool glassine envelopes with a Sakura Pigma pen????? Coolness! |

I asked Jake to write in this mini... and although it made me nervous, it's going to be a great memory! |

A little extra doodling and some perfect tags make this one of my favorite pages. |

The arrow stamp made a great label for my rub ingredients. |

Eve put a lot of pockets in this mini - I loved tucking my recipes from the weekend into them. |

Another fun pocket, and I've used the arrow stamp for a label and as banners. |
I hope you get your hands on this mini and fill it with the ways you show love for your family... or maybe you have a kitchen elf that deserves some extra appreciation.
Whatever you do with this mini, don't forget to post your work in our Evalicious Flickr
pool
here. We will be selecting a
project that catches our eyes every few weeks and award the artist with a
gift card code to spend in
the shop!
