New Journal and pinterest

I finally filled my former journal and needed a new one-kept putting off making one then decided that i
have plenty of books i've made in the past that were just sitting there waiting to be used.  So I introduce
my newest journal-made at Artfest in 2002.  It was an Albie Smith class-whom i adore.  I think i've taken
four classes with her in the past and every one of them was great-she is a great teacher and you come away

with a finished product. If you ever get a chance to take a class of hers-do it, you won't be sorry!

Have you discovered Pinterest yet?  It is so addicting but so full of inspiration.  I've done a few things on there (tutorials) that i've found and made a few recipes that were really good.  Here are some fabric hearts i made recently-inspired by things i had seen.  Today i made crock pot chicken and dumplings~they were pretty good for a short cut of the real thing-didn't stop me from eating them!

Paper Stacks

Seth Apter has come up with another project for bloggers to see-Paper Stacks.
It goes live on wed. He will link up all the participants (70+) for you to peruse.  This image is a stack of journals-including the "big ass pink and black" one on the bottom (and yes, that is the name i gave it when i made it for artfest one year)

 

 I decided to add more pictures to this post after seeing the first 20 participants.  Originally didn't want to "clog up" this post since we have lots to go look at-but i like seeing all the other photo's that others have posted that I decided "why not?"  So you can look at some of my book collections-I keep saying I don't need anymore-but then I see one I can't resist :)  Thanks for stopping by-i try to answer all comments, but in case I don't-do know that i read and appreciate them all!
