Alpha-numeric blog hop

As you know, I joined in wiTh Shimelle's Blogging for Scrapbooker's rerun over The last few weeks. One of The prompT's was To do a blog-hop or join up wiTh oTher blogs in some way. Mel had The brillianT idea of doing an alpha-numeric blog hop which I was lucky enough to geT a place in. Basically, each person on The hop has been given a different leTTer or number and has To do a posT showcasing their letter or number and post it on The given day for us all to visiT each oTher's blogs. You should have come here via Kim but if you haven'T the complete lisT is here for you to follow, sTarTing at Mel.

When I heard whaT my leTTer was iT Took a few days To decide whaT To do. Then I remembered a couple of leTTers I had boughT to decoraTe The cover of the arT journal I have never goT around To sTarTing. So, I dug Them from the cupboard and sTarTed by painTing Them pink. Once They had had a couple of coaTs I sprayed Them wiTh my new Smooch SpriTz sprays. This didn'T work as well as I had hoped and The painT splodged up a biT. So, I painTed a Thick layer or Rock Candy DisTress crackle from Tim HolTz and lefT Them overnighT To crack.

I did boTh upper and lower case leTTers wiTh The inTenTion of choosing one, however, Brenda, who is definiTely noT of The less is more persuasion insisTed ThaT I use boTh on The book in The end. I painTed the book pink and Then sTamped The cover wiTh a scripT sTamp. This was where I ran inTo problems, since each ink I used rubbed off. I evenTually found some very old chalk ink which seems to have sTayed puT. My original design for The cover was of course ruined, when dear daughTer forced me To use boTh leTTers. I did manage to persuade her ThaT iT did noT need any embellishmenTs since I am worried They will jusT come off. Then I sat and waiTed for a nice day To Take a phoTo of the book, but unforTunately iT has rained for days, so I ended up Taking a phoTo on The bed yesTerday afTernoon.So, withouT furTher ado, here is my finished journal.

From here on The hop, you go over To X-nomads blog, which is quiTe lovely. I especially enjoyed The post about Taking a phoTo every hour, possibly someThing for a fuTure posT. If you geT losT The enTire lisT is aT The Top of This posT. And now, I Think I will make some Tea and starT hopping.
