Vintage Book Journals

My latest craft project has been making vintage book journals using old books.

Kyle bought a tub of them at a yard sale, 

and even though they really were worth nothing, the book covers were so cool.

They have the best titles and cover art...

So rather then collect dust on a shelf in my garage, I turned them into journals.

I used to write in a journal every night before bed but then I started blogging and well, now I'm thinking I have a great reason to start writing again, insert cute book journal with a cool title like: O' Doctor!

Paper Books

Every 3 weeks we have a date at the library.

I love the smell.

I love the free.

and I love the quiet.

I'm pretty sure it's the only quiet place left in my life.

Right now Ayden's favorites are Green Eggs and Ham, The Ant & the Elephant and Walter the Farting Dog. The classics!

Brandon has started collecting comic books, and he just won his very first auction at the library. He was so pumped, you'd thought he won the lottery which for him was 7 old school Spiderman's!

I really love this place!

Mod Podge

 

I up-cycled an old mannequin torso which was in desperate need of a makeover. She was pretty beat up poor girl.

And thanks to a few old books and a bottle of Mod Podge she has a whole new look.

I can't wait to put her up in our new booth. 

She'll be perfect for necklaces.
