My new travel journal

Good day, pleasant readers! As you know, my family is going east to Washington DC, Yorktown, Jamestown, and the such in October. I thought perhaps I could make a travel journal to use on the trip as one of my friends did in a similar situation. I will tell you how to so you may make one too, if you wish. 
You will need: 1: An empty notebook, I used a composition book. 2: Colored paper in whatever color you chose. 3: Glue. 4: Magazine clippings to fit your theme. Also a pencil or pen and scissors.
Start by tracing onto your paper the size of your notebook, then cut your paper to the right size, then glue it on.You may have to cut your paper again after you have glued it on.
After that is done, you may arrange your magazine clippings as you like. Then you're done. On my trip, I'm hoping to fill up the entire composition book. I'll certainly tell if I succeed.
Have you ever filled up an entire journal?
Did you (or are you going to) take any trips?

My new doll

 Hi all! Libby here. Yes, I made a new doll. I don't have American Girl doll Molly and maybe that's God's will, so I made Ida. Marie-Grace said she'd be great company for Maria. You can also try this, if you like.
 As you see, I started off with a normal stick, only trimmed to the size I wanted and cleaned.
 Then I drew a face and added yarn hair. If you wanted to make this with all things from God's outdoors, then you could use dog or cat hair for hair, but I didn't because this was a slight bit easier looking.
 Then, (the most fun part) I made clothes out of flowers. I never thought I'd have fun making a DRESS, but I did. Anyway, I've had great fun playing with her and it doesn't matter if she gets dirty! Yay! 
Have you ever made a doll?
Do you like playing with dolls?

St. Patrick's Day with the Walkers

 Hi all! Libby here. Yesterday was great. Addy and Jubilee came over and we did lots of stuff (like tag, pictured above).
 After playing outside, we all made a leprechaun trap. We didn't put LEPRECHAUN TRAP on it because the leprechauns might see it.
 The night before, Marie and I made posters to put up all over the house. I made this one. We tried to think up leprechaun sayings to put on our posters and in the night a leprechaun put the sticky notes on them.
 Oh, and we also played hide-and seek outside. Here, Marie-Grace is finding Jubilee. Altogether, it was a great St.  Patrick's day.
How do you celebrate St. Patrick's Day?
