it rained...


 it rained all weekend in my little part of the world.  a drizzly, dreary, dark cloud kind of rain.  


i didn't feel much like working.  and so i didn't.


instead, i took out this journal.  the one with the beautiful handmade paper.  the one i bought for myself with birthday money several months ago.  the one i hadn't even made the tiniest scribble in yet.


and i got out my little glue stick.  


and a needle and some thread. 


and all of my favorite scraps that i have been saving...


...for a rainy day.


and i ripped and stitched and pasted for two whole days.


because after all,


that is what rainy days are for.
