Happy New Year

Well it's another new year... this one hasn't started overly well with dh being quite sick and spending a few days in hospital. So it was a very quiet night for us last night.
But I hope everyone had a lovely night and the year is going to be a bright wonderful year for all of us!

So being a new year, I've decided I need to work on some goals... I will be back with these another day as I am still working on them...
But one I am going to do and I will need you all to kick my butt if I don't, is to update my blog regularly and to help me do that I'm going to share a photo a day...
So here is today's....

A nice clean, spotless boy's room.... this is what I've spent all day doing removing all the rubbish that he hordes and rearranging the room. And I've got a pinky promise from him that it's going to stay that way! Especially as Mum found his DS that was lost for 2 weeks.... !
But we will see how it all goes...

and even though I haven't had time to scrapbook yet (it's going to happen! after I finish backing up the computer...) I have taken pics of the cover I made for my christmas present... my kobo e-reader...


This has been made using an old diary cover I had and covering the front with Websters Pages, and I've used a soft foam on the inside to protect the Kobo.
The Kobo is held in with black velcro strips so I can remove it from the cover if I like. And the closure is a hinge made of grungeboard and a tim holtz hitch fastener.
The little pocket/envelope on the front is to hold SD cards that hold books. The kobo will read them, so it's a good way to keep a library!
Much cheaper than the covers I've seen online for $45-50.... and definately much more stylish!!!!

Happy New Year to you too - love the cover you have made. So much better than the bought ones.
