for jodi

my dear, dear friend jodi is moving. away. far away. although i hate that we won't see each other as often i know that we have a lot to look forward to. jodi is just the kind of friend we all want and i treasure her.

then:



and now:



in honor of jodi's move i made a little georgia loves jodi scrapbook.





1. take 2 pieces of cardboard. i wanted mine long and narrow to leave room for writing little notes. mine is 10x5



hi toes.

2.cut fabric slightly larger and wrap around cardboard like you would a present. i used good ole mod podge to secure.

3. use heavy paper (like scrapbooking paper) and cut a 9x4 piece to cover the cardboard on both sides.

4. cut out same size as cardboard to make the pages.

5. punch holes in each and secure with ribbon. viola!



i added a little envelope to hold a cd for her travels.





au revoir sweet friend!
