My brother was recently 40, I wanted to make him something special but realised I didn't have a lot of time. I decided to make him a mini book full of journaling cards that he could fill in.
I decided to think of 40 top tens for him.
I used some fairly muted papers that were double sided and made lots of pages with pockets and pull outs.
Some of the "top tens" were things like your top 10 favourite foods, singers, christmas presents and funny things the children have said etc.
I then added pictures and embellishments to the basic book.
I just had time to make him a card, and he really loved his mini book.
Thanks for stopping by It's a Creative World

That's such a great idea! A lovely gift that will give the receiver the pleasure of looking back and seeing what their top tens were at the time ...

No-one would have known you lacked time for this, it's a lovely minibook with the added pleasure of personalisation by the recipient. Fab idea.E

What a great idea! Has he filled any in yet? I'd love to know who his top ten singers are! think that's always very revealing!
