For many years I have kept a day to day gluebook; sorta like a scrapbook of the old days, but more of the little bits and pieces of daily life. As you can see, I include
receipts, pics from magazines, bits of mail;
address labels, pretty parts of an envelope, the addressed portion with my name. I include bits from
places I've been, little bits the grandkids have drawn, pieces of
products I like. Nothing is prohibited; I have even glued in swatches of
hair from haircuts,
cloth labels from a garment,
found items from library books and so much more. It is quite fun to do and also to go back through the books from time to time, reliving my days.
I do not glue in this one every day, but leave it out where I can tuck little bits into the back of it and then from time to time, have a gluing session. It is an inexpensive way to sort of make a history of my life. After all, life is really about all the
Little Bits and Pieces along the way.
As always, you make me smile. BOG (Big Ole Grin)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your daily gluebook. Made me think of the package of seeds I think I just threw out, too. Here I could have used it in my glue book. I know if I get rid of anything, I need very soon after it leaves. (Kind of like my last boyfriend
...........lololol)
Thank you for inspiring so many, you are a wonder!
What a fun idea! I think I will try this! I so often tear things out of magazines but don't really have a place for it. It would be nice to have a gluebook that isn't a specific theme so I could put anything in it. Thanks for sharing this!
