Bringing a little something to each page...

Adding some "art-a-day" to Traci's book was addictive! It motivated me to flirt with a different medium for a little while. I got out my well-worn Keats book of poems and felt that his Grasshopper and Cricket ode went well with the nature allusions.

bye bye bookie

This little book is about the size of a passport and arrived full of scribbles, squiggles and squippies (squippies are my just invented word for tiny stickers).

Not much room at the book inn here, but managed to find an empty spot.......a page with a cream squippy on it. That would be the one on the right.......and there I added some colored penciling.

And off it goes today July 1, 2010 to the next recipient. Happy summer to all!

A Fertile Moon

Here is my entry for this month. I think it's pretty appropriate for where I am in life right now....

Rebekah's book

Here's my addition to the book Rebekah made!

Book #3

The third book I received was really, really cool...(I got so excited to send the second book that I forgot to photograph it!!) For this book, I don't want to spoil the surprise for the next person - So I only have pics of what I did to the "book" - It is so much fun to see what is in the envelope at the beginning of the month! That seems to be one of my favorite parts of this exchange so far.

Book's in the Mail

Hey, where's my new book? I admit mine didn't go out until yesterday.........one would think that having the whole month would assure that it would get mailed on time. Kind of like living across the street from your job but being late everyday......

I look forward to receiving the next book, and wondering what is happening with the purse one I sent out in the beginning. Any pictures of that one?

Away it goes!

Here's Traci's Book, via Jan Cohen.

It was a lot of fun working with Traci's varities of paper and Jan's fabric scraps! Here are some of my favorite pages.
