MJS: Mini Devoted Holiday Magpie Journal #4 USA

Hello Magpie Lovers! Let’s create a devoted mini Holiday Magpie. It can be centered around Christmas, Hannukah, Kwanza, Boxing Day, St. Nicholas Day, etc. What’s a devoted mini you ask? It’s a pocket size or smaller (3.5x 4.5 at largest) bound composition book that you will fill 20 pages. Make sure your pages are sturdy by gluing two pages together to make stronger.

Inside you will fill it with holiday items possibly uisng ideas posted below. Be as creative as you see fit. Perhaps give some details on what you include or use some decorative way to display the item.

New for this swap...add a few goodies (3-4) for your partner inside your book. Can be stickers, labels, tags, envies, stickies, ribbon, Washi, etc. something small.

Make it unique and chunky! Because these are so small, it will be easy to fill a page quickly and you might be surprised at how quickly it comes together. You can start right away as this isn’t partner specific.

I am hoping this encourages creativity as we look at items we use throughout our day.
