    8th anniversary swap

    June 27, 2011 - By 

    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

    March 31, 2011 - By 


    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.

    Quotes AB finished!

    March 5, 2011 - By 

    I started this AB years ago with a few tip-ins from a swap. I love quotes… It seemed like the perfect theme. Alas, I ran out of steam on the project. It was set aside…forgotten.  Recently, I’ve had the drive to finish those UFOs (unfinished objects) sitting around basically to free up space and cross things off my on-going list.

    I asked my good friend Elizabeth if she’d make a tip-in or two for me…  She came up with the idea of hosting a tip-in swap on abc_alteredbookclub. Sweet!
    Just look at the end result! A completed book! Well, truthfully, there are spots for 3 more quote pages if they were glued directly down but for all intensive purposes…this is officially crossed off my list!!!!
