  2. I have been toying with the idea of putting my sewing machine in my scrap room, but you have convinced me. Thanks for the great project idea!

  3. I love the idea of creating a journal for the season. I still have never sewn on a project however. Just can’t bring myself to use the machine on paper. Thanks for a chance to win an awesome prize pack.

  4. Holy cow! I LOVE that journal. Wow. I now know what I’m working on this week while Kiffer is at preschool. Wahoo!

  6. WOW!!!! that note book is so cool! Love that boarder punch and that corner punch sure is crazy cute. Your right, any paper cutting junkie needs those pretty scissors!!! I know I sure do. Thanks for the chance to win this great RAK!

  7. Fall is my most favorite time of year. Your journal looks so neat. Thanks for the great idea and inspiration!

  8. I’ve been staring at those scissors at the store…I guess I’ll have to break down and get them. Or wait until after these are awarded. LOL! Thanks for thinking of us!

  9. thanks for the great closeup of the project! I have never completed any sewing on my layouts but hope to soon (as soon as my new room gets finished and I can get to my sewing machine – LOL!)

  11. LOVE your fall notebook. Fall’s my favourite because it’s my birthday. I’ve been wanting to try the border/corner punch and that style of scissors.

  12. I need to get over it and sew on something. Love the little journal. I’m doing less and less 12×12 stuff and more and more little projects. Thanks for the chance at these great goodies.

  13. I love the book! Fall is my favorite time of year. Kevin and I were married in the fall and will be married 18 years this year. I’m hoping to start sewing some things for Christmas decorations here soon. Thanks for the chance at the great Fiskars prizes. They are all great!

  14. I saw this on Fiskarscrafts this morning – I printed it – Wonderful and beautiful. I’m also making those muffins tonight – I had forgotten your original post

  15. I LOVE the journal – I bought a BUNCH of them when they went on sale for the school year andi was just waiting for the right inspiration, and BAM there it is! GREAT project May – job well done for sure!!

  18. Wow, thanks so much for the chance at these great things… AND I love that journal — want to get started on one soon. Karin #6470

  19. May your journal turned out great. I love how you did those pumpkins and I am going to give them a try. This would make a great Christmas gift to make. thanks

  20. May, I always enjoy looking at your creations! I need a computer in my work area so I can see this stuff AND be crafting! Too funny though, when I was reading your post with the journal, my eyes combined the first two lines I guess and I read, “Fall is my favorite hobby”.

  23. Thanks for the opportunity to win! Those look like fabulous prizes! I need to go get some stuff to RAK out again…I had fun with the two I did.

  24. Love your project! I am using my machine more now, yay for me. I think I would use it more often if it wasn’t sitting under my craft table. Lol. To have it out & set up all the time would be great. I’ll have to think of some rearranging I guess. Thanks for a chance at some awesome tools.

  26. Love the cover of your journal! What did you use to be able to sew on it? Chip board’s too thick, right? I’d be scared to try that.

  28. You have inspired me to make a Fall Journal. It won’t be exactly like yours – instead it will be my version. Thanks.

  33. Wow May, that would be a wonderful stash to have. You are so wonderfully generous, Thanks for the chance. I love your website, its just wonderful.

  40. I sewed once on a layout but I am not pleased at how my machine is stitching. I’ve downloaded the manual and I’m working on fixing the problem.

  41. Your journal is sooo creative…it’s beautiful!
    It would be a dream come true owning one of these fabulous fiskar products–Thanks for giving us a chance to win.

  43. Beautiful journal…I just bought a ton of clearanced out journals at Target…gotta love ’em. I think I will try this. Thanks for the great giveaway too.

  70. oooh! i love the idea of a fall themed moleskin to carry around. as much as i try to take notes in my iphone, i find that i still need a good old pen and paper/notebook to keep track of my thoughts and lists. when i write them in the phone, i forget to look back. the idea of making a new little journal for each season is genius! thanks for sharing. :]

  72. What a fab giveaway! Love, love, love Fiskars punches but I have to be honest, May, I have never met a tape runner that likes me. They always break! I’ll take your word that you’ve found the best tape runner. Maybe I’ll get the chance to try it out!

I have to say..not only are those scissors pretty, but my sis (the quiliter) says they are totally awesome…so I would reallyyyyyyyyy love those…but I do want to know…where did u get that drill? and the tape runner? dont think my stores have that yet…and I dont have the punches so…I would be a great person to give these things too, don’t you think so tooooooooo?? *wink*…good luck to all…we just luv fiskars….and you! tyvm Cher # 5859

  74. May,

    I can smell those pumpkin muffins from Reno! I started some fall baking last night myself. Mmmm yummy!

    What a great group of prizes. Good luck everyone… including me, of course! 😉

    Thank you May.

  75. What fabulous products !! The endless amount of possibilites in ways to use them…. Love the apple box – VERY cool !!

  76. when I cleaned my scraproom this last time I actually moved my sewing machine onto a shelf within reach (instead of buried under the desk). Guess you have inspired me to try using it on a project and I will give it a shot very soon! Your projects rock May (as usual)!!

  77. Thanks for sharing May!

    I have a couple of project going from Fiskarcrafts right now – they have some great ones!

    I wouldn’t have thought about sewing on a notebook cover – paper yes, but I had not considered heaver stock. Did you swap out for a larger/heavier needle? Your notebook turned out fabulous!
