Let the Trendy Twine CELEBRATION begin

Who is ready for a CELEBRATION? Have you seen the latest color from Trendy Twine? A FOUR color twine - black, red, yellow, and white! Does that reminder you of the happiest place on Earth? 

Let the Celebration begin!

I was super excited to learn about this color! I will be visiting the happiest place in Earth in a few months, so I had a number of projects that came to mind for this twine. At least I wanted to make a countdown calendar, but decided to make a planner instead.

The twine bookmark is made using 6 long strands (braided) of the Celebration twine.
