My Very First Minibook

Well, I've done my very first minibook using my shiny new pink Bind It All. I loved doing it and I think I've found a new obsession in mini books.

I recently went on an annual retreat for mothers of special needs children. The retreat is organised by two local women who also have special needs children and they put so much effort into making everything perfect. I made two minibooks, one for each of the organisers as a thank you for their wonderful work.



The theme of the retreat was "connections" and the heart is cut out from the small welcome book given to each participant.



Welcome pack that was in each participant's room.



Second day of the retreat came out on a special day in Jewish Calendar when it is traditional to build bonfires and have live music. We had live musical entertainment by candlelight. It was beautiful.



One evening we had a sort of "open mic night" where some of the mothers put on sketch shows or other forms of entertainment - it was hilarious.



Picture of the beach with the "Footprints in the sand" poem underneath, which I thought was very appropriate.



Couldn't resist taking a pic of this beautiful sunset.






Organisers waving us off on the last day.



Inside back cover - I made a small envelope and then wrote a small note on a sheet of notepaper which we all received as part of our welcome pack.



I packaged up each book in tissue paper and decorated with ribbons and flowers.
