swapbot swap: handmade flip book


My swap partner for this envie of goodies swap is working on a space themed junk journal so I pulled out all my moon themed bits and pieces to create a nifty folio full of ephemera for her. I used this tutorial to create the folio. Septeria18 has some super nifty how-to videos on her youtube channel, I highly recommend! 
I also added vintage book pages, extra paper scraps, trim, stickers, and an atc-sized paper pad I made just for her. 

There are punched paper pieces, space-themed cut a-parts, a handmade envelope with stickers, adorable little star paper clips, and so much more! 

Handmade space-themed ephemera. Not too shabby, I'm still learning. Plus more paper tags, and journal cards, etc.
With a small tag full of washi tape samples at the end. I left the booklet undecorated so she can choose what she wants to do with it. I hope she enjoys the treasures, eegads, I hope I put enough in there!

road trip: Drunken Dumpling


We walked over to Drunken Dumpling from our motel for dinner and it was so stinking good! SO GOOD! We split an order of bao, some noodles, and the most delicious green beans! We were too stuffed for dessert, but we will definitely hit them up again to try some next time we're in Chico.
