I found this scrap of red trim (shown in photo) and I saw that I had enough to make a 5 petaled flower. I had to hand sew it very carefully to make the red arches look like flower pedals. Then, I used a hot glue gun to add the center clear bead, and followed by gluing some shiny red beads in a star pattern (covering up my kind of messy, hand-sewn seams). I then hot glued a strip of red ribbon to the headband and glued on the flower. This wound up being one of Hannah's favorites.
The inside of the pen and pencil holder is lined with a soft velvety foam pad, also in black. The front of the pen holder has a brushed metal rectangle measuring 4" x 2 1/4", with a round clock in the center. The clock is generously sized, it's 2" in diameter.
The case opens to reveal two side by side trays, an additional hidden folding tray that can be used as a traveling piece and spacious wells. The lid includes a leather-framed mirror and pendant hooks with pouch, and the box accommodates rings, earrings, pendants and larger pieces. Priced at $80 but available on sale at $59.95, it is an exceptional value and sure to be appreciated by a fortunate graduate.
Get a small notebook or journal. If later you want to get a nice leather book, fine, but don't start this exercise with the excuse that you don't have the supplies. Use a scrap of paper you found on the ground if you have to, but starting today, you are going to track something about every day, for one week.
Commit to one week, seven days. Yes, you can do this. If I can, you can. https://incatalogue.company/ . Okay, to make it so easy anyone can do this, start with one day. Today you will chart only a few things: The time on the clock whenever you decide you're hungry, and what your hunger level is right then on a scale of 1 to 10 with one being absolutely stark raving mad with hunger and 10 being so full you think you'll burst. Obviously the happy place is somewhere between 3 and 5. Most people never experience a one or 10.
Italian leather is a popular choice for the cover of guest books. Sometimes, croc-hide or pig skin is also used. You can also go in for faux leather or suede to suit the ambiance and the occasion.
Then start with individual pages of each family member. Include their photo, their letter, and something unique to them. For example, since I like to write, I could include a poem that I've written. For my husband, who plays the saxophone, I could include sheet music of his favorite song and a fancy sticker of a saxophone from the scrapbook aisle at my local craft store. Anything that suits that person would work perfectly.
2- Don't wait until the day of or the day before to decide what to buy. Last minute gift buying reduces your options significantly and you are more likely to settle for something, anything, without putting a lot of thought into it.
