I signed up for this Small Books Swap sponsored by hoping for happy accidents. I liked the theme and I liked that it is small {only the first 25 people that signed up}. The mail date is tomorrow so I’m trying to finish up my package. In college I knew a girl that had taken a billion bookbinding courses and she taught me how to turn a thrift store book into a sketchbook. I decided to make one for the swap. It is quite a lengthy process. Whenever I go to thrift stores I always look for old books with interesting covers to add to my collection. I’m really excited about the books I found this week. They are so cute. I’ll show the finished products later. Here is a sample of the book I made from the Valentines Day Swap.
