This is the front cover of Celebrate the Ordinary's October journal.
These are the two inside pages . . .
Another spread features my wristband from River Arts - one of our area's annual outdoor art festivals.
Two fussy cut bits from one of Young Man's very early preschool papers with space for future additions.
A bit from a polka dot gift bag, a tag from my Full Deck Challenge projects, and my early voting sticker - again with blank space for the future.
A chronology of Young Man's Halloween costumes, another bit of that gift bag, and one of YM's Pokemon cards (he gave me this one several years ago - he and Daddy are deep into collecting/selling Pokemon cards these days).
These are the last page and inside back cover. The embellished tag was made by someone else but I added the word sticker and fabric tie along with a handwritten quote on the reverse side.
(I just couldn't resist adding the Count's postage stamp)

I'm still debating how I want to store/display these journals. I could house them inside a traveler's notebook cover (two inserts per cover given how much I've added to the pages) but six covers could get expensive. I could find a dedicated basket or box to stand them in but I haven't seen anything so far that isn't too big or too clunky looking. Or, more likely than not, I could simply add a ribbon tie around each journal, coordinating the ties with each month's color palette like I did with the ROYGBIV journals and store the journals on one of my bookshelves.
I'll eventually figure it but for now I'm enjoying the process of making each month's journal.
I'll be back with photos from November's journal in a day or so.
