Then scan and share on your blog. 1. Your Name & Blog Name 2. your URL 3. Write"the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog." 4. your favorite quote 5. your favorite song of now and all time 6. your favorite artists 7. Something you're know for saying 8.

 These are a few of the things I've been making.  I have a plan for them in my head.  But I'm still working out some of the details. Once I have it all worked out I'll be able to share the finished product! I'm thinking it's gonna be something small. xo Alicia

source I read this book while on my blogging break. I have to say that it was engrossing! I hated having to put it down so much that I'm re-reading it! Here's a review from Amazon: “The circus, the Great Depression, a complex elephant, equally complex love, the mists and twists of memory articulated in the utterly winning voice of a very old man who’s seen it all: these are the irresistible elements of Water for Elephants. Sara Gruen has written an utterly transporting novel richly full of the stuff of life.” ¬¬– Robert Olen Butler, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of A Good Scent from a Strange Mountain.

I saved them knowing I wanted to do something with them but I wasn't sure exactly what. Collages? Art Journals? ???? And I had a few binder rings having around so I thought why not a big art journal of sorts. I like that because it's on binder rings it'll give me the freedom to work with it laying flat or I can fold it back and just work on one side. So here are a few pages! From a Bob Marley calender my sister donated. Glued to the back of some scrap booking pages. A perfume ad, with block post-it notes added Some pages from Toast More ad pages Marilyn Monroe calender and pages from an Elle magazine More magazine pages From a San Francisco calender And some Emily the Strange calender pictures. I need to find another binder ring. hehe I'm still pouring over pages I want to add. I can't wait for it to all to come together so I can share the finis...
