Computer Turn-off Week

Last week I didn't use my computer at all. This meant no email, forums, or even blogs. After the first few days I found it pretty easy to handle. One good thing that came about because of comp-off week, though, was I had more time to do many other things, like read. My siblings also played more games last week than in any previous month. It was fun, and even though I can use the computer all I want now, I don't feel like it. Now it makes my eyes hurt. Over all, I'm very thankful that I did it and hope that it has some lasting effects on me.

Journals




I have many hobbies. Too many, in fact. One of them is hand binding books. My first one was my black leather journal. I simply glued some pieces of paper together, threw on a leather cover, and voila!

My next one was a flip top leather covered journal for my sister. Same method as the first.

But after that, I started getting better. The third journal was sewn, with proper signatures, endpapers, and mulls. The cover was out of fabric and manila folder.

The only journal I have made of significant note is, however, the fifth one. A black leather and green cloth masterpiece. Um... can you tell I'm really proud of it?

Abigail's Address-- my new blog

I made this blog for posting whatever I want whenever I want. This means I might post pictures of my trip one day, and the next post about how citrus affects children's teeth. No rhyme or reason whatsoever.
