    ABC 8th Anniversary —done!

    I had been putting off binding this book because I’m still waiting for a page.
    I decided that sometime in the future when the page actually appears on my doorstep, I can open the wires and put it in.
     Until that time, I’m considering this baby DONE!
    Trying out my home made lightbox again
    for these photos.  I haven’t gotten the side lighting this down yet.
    So practice, practice right!?!?

    8th anniversary swap

    Since we had a totally open theme this time around for the annual abc_alterbookclub anniversary swap…I decided to use this photo of myself and my grandpa that always makes me giggle. Neither one of us looks to happy about the whole deal.

    Here’s the original photo…

    We both look so crabby.  I did have a cute little dress though. *grin*

    Patty’s Tip-ins


    Quite a while ago Elizabeth facilitated a swap between Patty and I. I was in need of a few more pages for my Quotes AB and Patty was thinking about possibly doing a chunky book.

    Just look at the wonderful tip-ins that Patty created!
    **I have been so neglectful in actually posting these.**
                              Sorry Patty!!!

    This is a gorgeous piece. I’ve never been good with “white” but here it is done so well.
    Such wonderful quotes were chosen.
    “The universe sings to those who listen”
    Love that…

    And just take a gander at this one!!  The colors are amazing together. The texture in the photo pales in comparison to the real deal.

    The quote:
    “Happiness belongs to those who are easily contented.”
                ~Aristotle

    Patty has included one of her little nests that I admire so much.

    Patty gave me free reign to do whatever came to me at the moment for the chunky pages.
    Sweet!
    I’m pretty random most of the time so that suits me just fine.
    Since I forgot to actually take photos before sending them off to her…she was kind enough to photograph them for me.

    And if that wasn’t enough…she sent a wonderful package of “goodies” to play with. Although it wasn’t planned…when I looked through the lens of my camera…look what I saw.

    A Heart! 

    It was a gift from the heart from Patty!
    Thank you my dear.
