I'm pretty sure I've mentioned this ongoing project on here before--since I remember my sisters shocked comment, and how she called me a Philistine--but I don't know where, so I'll pretend no one knows what I'm talking about. :)
A
friend of mine came over the other day and was looking through a book I have out for display in my living room. "Have you blogged about this?" She asked.
Well, the truth is I'm pretty sure I haven't... so today I'm going to show you my 'Mom Book.'

The cover sports my first attempt at a fabric corsage. |
I got this idea from another blog, somewhere (I'm on a roll today!), and just loved it! So, naturally, I had to have one for myself.
At first I tore through new pages like an old pro. Each one being unique and exciting.
|
The book I destroyed is "Life, the Universe and Everything" by Douglas Adams...
I figured I wasn't destroying the only remaining copy. |
|
I 'interviewed' Vicbowin and Albowin |
But then my natural creativity slowed to a trickle and I left the thing to go on to bigger, better, newer projects.
|
There are six sections one for each child, one for me and one for just in case. |
Until the other day, when I stumbled across a book in the library called
"The Altered Book Collage" Hallelujah! It was exactly what I needed to pick up some new ideas. I've been itching to get some alone time with my book ever since.

One of the idea's from the 'Altered Book Collage.' |
This has been one very fun project! I think I might have delved into a whole new world of demolished books and shredded pages. Which means my ancestor's are rolling over in their graves and my sister is mumbling something like---step aside Hitler, because Cannwin has some books to burn.
