books

Sorry for the late post. I was busy recovering from the work of putting on a retreat. Restful for some but not for those of us who work it... any way. on to Books!

I find that I am looking for ways to improve myself, so I read a lot of "How To" books. Coming off of my Retreat, I felt very uplifted. So, I took the gist of what I learned and put it in my own "How To" book. I took an old book that I had purchased for only $3.00 and went to work. I had fun altering everything from the cover, to the pages and even the bookmarks that I stuck in. On the inside "Title Page" I put a little pocket to hold my "Tag Tuesday" tag. On the "Fame" page, I had fun using pictures from the Oscars and a torn picture to hide my little "No" tag. The bookmark for the "wealth " page was fun to make using burlap and stamps. On the beauty page, I made "Mirrors" with foil and made my own butterflies (except for the wooden one which I painted) . I think that the rest of the pages speak for themselves. This was fun. I wish I had had more time ... maybe this week?
Wishing you all a wonderfully creative week! Best, Mary Ann
