European Papers

I just received an order from European Papers - what a beautiful mailing! Wrapped in tissue, sealed with a gold sticker.... pretty. Here are some of the things I purchased - visit their site - lots of treasures!





Halloween...


... the new swap is under way - Black, White & one color. Something a little different - pages can be any size that will fit between 6" x 6" covers - and with at least 4" on the left hand side for punching for coils. Thinking outside of the box within the box?
Here is a photo of a swap I participated in with the All Things Tim Yahoo Group - my pennants are on the way to Oregon and 10 should be on their way to me next week.
Enjoy -

New Swap -

- Halloween!! There is a quick turn around on this book. Sign ups started strong with 11 on the first day! Sign-ups close at 20... visit the Yahoo group to sign up.
Pages can be any format - covers will be 6 x 6.... your page can be a bat stretching 6" long and 4" tall... or 4" wide and 6" tall and filled with a witches hat! Or anything in between... other restrictions? Pages are black, white and one color!
Have fun.

Flower Garden Books...

6th Graders' pages

I shared fatbooks with a fellow teacher last year - she has done some with her Language Arts class. Here is their newest project - we have 'life skills' designated for each month. September is 'friendship'. Her students wrote a 'friends are like....' phrase and then illustrated. They made 4 or 5 of the same page. Here are some photos of the few she had finished:

Tip-ins to share

In a previous post I shared my tip-in page for a swap. The theme was 'a different way of seeing.' My pages came last week and I finally had a chance to photograph and upload. Enjoy!
