    Quotes Altered Book finished!

    March 5, 2011 - By 

    I started this altered book 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!!!!

    New book purse

    January 21, 2011 - By 


    Found this great looking book at the thrift store and knew it would make a fantastic book purse.
    I reclaimed the handles off a super ugly purse from the same thrift store and dug through my fabric stash for the lining.

    I went ahead and listed it in my Etsy store a little earlier today.

    Little bit of this and that

    January 20, 2011 - By 

    I cleaned up my art zone a little bit yesterday…enough to do a quick page in an altered book.
    I used some of the scrap laying around the workspace for this page. I still need to get to work on some similar themed swap pages.

    I also started work on yet another attempt at a braided rug. Things are going much better this time around… *quickly knocking on wood*

    The morning sky was pretty so I thought I’d share it with you. The photo was taken through the glass of the patio door. Way to chilly to stand outside for a lousy photo op for me.
