Two Things...

Today I finally figured out how I wanted to do something on Tamathy's book (see fairy house pictures - we made/are making things for each other; I got the fairy house that she made for me, and I'm doing an altered book for her) (I'm a wee bit late, because I couldn't figure out one major thing). I hate the idea of doing something normal, since I want to be an "artist," not a copier of what other people do. That's the only way that it's fun. The only way I'm motivated. So that's a BIG thing. Secondly, I went to book club tonight. The book was Nelson Mandela's Conversations with Myself. I didn't want to read it, but I immediately liked it. It's an edited collection of his writings, from letters, journals, and an unpublished manuscript. A little dense and confusing, but with some great thoughts and interesting history. I need to finish it, 'cause the end is supposed to be the best part. Otherwise, I posted comments and replied to Megan's comment on my last post, so I'm glad I got to read your blogs and respond. I want to get at least one blog book now (see Megan's latest post), and more as time goes by. Yay! I love you! xoxoxo

Oh, you will love having your blog in a book! It is completely different. Soooo easy to just flip the pages and stop on different pictures and stories. The kids love ours. I do want to research and see if there is a better company. I love blog2print, but their pictures are smaller than I would like. From what I have seen, they are by FAR the easiest to work with, and the books are really nice.
Also, it will be neat to see how your book for Tammy turns out!
