Book Print love and a Bird or two

I recently decided I could rip up a book and get over it.

I love reading and my mom lovingly kept several of the books I owned and read from childhood. And I was keeping them for my own children.

But... one kid with Dyslexia and one Wii later, I've found that maybe my kids won't be me. Maybe they won't miss the bus stop coming home because they are reading. Maybe they will love other things just as much and I need to embrace their loves, and get over mine.

shew.

All that to say... I ripped up one of my childhood books because I wanted old yellowed book print, and I didn't want to go to Goodwill at the moment. (And the library gets really ticked if they discover you are the one that keeps ripping pages out of their old books.) lol. And please let's just ignore the fact that YES - enough years have passed since my childhood... that the pages are faded and starting to yellow. sigh.

I have been adding page print here and there to several things lately - most recently a page that will go up at Creatively Yours soon, but here are a couple I can post now - i've been loving making felt birds, and also i did some buttons using my book. and i posted them earlier but here's a picture of them again.









Thanks for stopping by and hope you have a super day!
