Do you have a project that you keep walking past,
muttering to yourself, "One day I'll .... "
Well I do, actually if truth be told, I have a few.
Those ideas that won't rest until you actually do them.
Well here is the story behind one of those projects.
It began a few years ago, around Christmas.
Various charities in the UK sent out letters asking for donations,
& included in the envelope were promotional bookmarks
& drinks coasters.
The coasters were too solid to throw away ...
yes I am holding my hands up
& admitting that the thought certainly crossed my mind.
So I just starting "collecting" them
& my Mother kept hers for me too.
Once I had 14, I decided they would make a nice chunky journal.
I altered two to make the covers & punched holes in the rest.

3½ inch square drinks coasters |
Then it went back into the drawer ...
& took part in her monthly challenges.
I kept all the little scraps of paper,
all those little pieces
which I didn't have the heart to throw away.
This week, whilst looking for something else,
I picked up the small tub containing these treasured pieces
& finally made the decision to tie the two projects together
to make a chunky gluebook.
No paints, no inks, no fabrics.
Just paper & a gluestick.
Scissors & a sanding block.
So I turned my
When into a
Wren.
What projects have you been putting off?
Is it time to just start?
