One of the most boring things in life is to wait for your child to finish an extracurricular activity, like gysmnastics, ballet or foreign languages. The time is too short to return home and very- very long for waiting in the car, especially when it is dark and you can't read!

So, twice a week when we have gymnastics, I tend to visit the near by supermarkets or general stores. Sometimes I find little treasures but most of the times I shop junk - unfortunately, I am not one of these guys that visit a shop just to "look around". I have to leave with a bag full of something -whatever!

Last week, while strolling around Max stores I discovered a little treasure: a small notebook with chipboard coverings and close to no decoration - perfect for altering! As I had promised my mum to "scrapbook" a gift for one of her friends, it looked that I had hit center.

The sentiment stamp I used here is from the set I received from Elina, as part of my prize for the Scrapbooking in Greece challenge #12. Thanks, Elina.

I have to admit that next day I bought an other one and decorated it for myself, but this is another post......
