A New Project

I found these three books at the Salvation Army last week:
I'm not sure if you'll be able to see the titles clearly. The first is a book on Gregg shorthand, next is a cookbook from 1950, and last is a Girls Scout Handbook. Look inside!


The shorthand book & Girl Scount handbook will probably be added to my home library. But the cookbook is in really bad shape. I've been trying to decide what to do with it and finally decided to make a journal out of it. It's going to be a food journal. I'll post photos as I finish pages.

Look, the glue's getting closer.... he he he
Also, Jordann made a REALLY cute duct tape purse today inspired by Jane. I plan on taking a picture of it tomorrow. It's my favorite so far. And she punched holes in bottle caps today to make some earrings. We'll see...

Duct Tape & Denim

Aunt Sue requested some photos of Jordann's purses. She's made several from old blue jeans and others from duct tape. Here are her current creations that she's actually using:
She's using this duct tape messenger-style bag for her textbooks. She gets a lot of comments on this one! This is 100% duct tape (except for the stickers) and it is really strong. See, she figured out how to express her individuality even while wearing a school uniform.

Other duct tape creations - wallet & Ipod cozies. Somewhere there's a matching cell phone cover. Right now she's using the little panda bear cover for her phone shown attached to her blue jean purse.

Bracelet... yes, she wears this, too.
My current WIP is a wool crocheted purse that I'm going to felt, also for Jordann. I'm afraid she inherited the "bag" disease from me & Great!
