Some of you may have looked at the slideshow (it's gone now) showing photos of part of the Learn Something New Every Day project by Shimelle, that I have been working on during September. You prepared a page each day (I did - honest - lol) following a series of daily prompts about the things that happened to you (or not) and the lessons you learnt.
Anyways, I caught up on the last week and finished the last page this afternoon. I had always had the idea that I would bind all the pages together with my Bind It All, using the largest wires that Zutter do but I have to confess I was a little bit doubful because the pages were extremely thick.
I went off to give it some more thought and have my tea - smoked salmon and scrambled eggs with melon to follow, always good thinking food - lol. After my feast I felt a bit more confident, so I cleared the decks, punched the first page, then the second, then the third and I couldn't believe it - I had punched the wrong edge of the third page !!!!
The air was a rather fetching shade of blue but I desisted from throwing it across the room as I usually do (after all a lot of work had gone into this). So I went and had a large bowl of ice cream - purely for medicinal purposes you understand, came back, set to with a craft knife, made each page a different size and put them all on a book ring.
Not a particularly good photo but I feel a whole heap better for writing this down and - I quite like the book in its new form. Just the covers to do now ......

Well your book looks great. I was really nervous when punching all my pages as I remember making a similar mistake with my Xmas Journal.
