This is the front cover of the paper bag book that I made
This is the first two pages of the book, the picture of the three ladies is supposed to represent my two crafting buddies and myself...Sure, Well, we can hope can't we? The two of them have been really good with their exercising and watching what they eat...so they have a good chance of looking like that...me, on the other hand...NOT!
Both Kathi and I picked the same word this year as our Motivational word FOCUS!
So I had to make a page for her word.
The Third page in my paper bag book.
I also left a couple of the pages blank for her to add her own quotes, etc.
I made the above book as a gift for my friend, Kathi, to thank her for the wonderful Christmas gifts she gave me this year.
I found the instructions on how to make this book on Utube...It was done
