I have started a journal in a 12x12 album like many of you have--with all of the same information, but...since I also have entered handmade items (crochet, and knit) in the Country Fair for many yrs, I also have included pic, info etc on each of my knitted and crocheted items in the same book. I also keep a separate notebook with lined and graph paper for ideas and inspiration etc. If and idea hits me, I will jot it down and later work on the design. In this book I also keep a list of sites with free patterns or blocks that have really caught my eye.
