karen, your work is so honest and real..that's why i love it!!!..i am moving along with my second altered book as i mentioned..what i have learned from you is to stay with my theme as much as possible in my collages but also not be afraid of going outside the box..oh my, this one is on "my favorite things" music, opera, blues, all things africa, and chocolate and mysteries:-)).i have discovered the No 1 ladies detective agency series (books)..they take place in gaborone outside of botswana..easy and fun reading and it surprised me, but the writer alexander mc call is a man witing about these ladies..it's a kick!!..i am really so much an amateur in all this, but i am also discovering meaningful things about myself..
i just sent your link over to an artist in ohio..she is just beginning to do altered books and i thought your pages would be a good place for her to start and a big help to her. be well, carol fuller..blog msn spaces yummy1944

Hey Karen GREAT title this post. Thats what actually caught my eye. I was surfing blogs to try and help my customers and visitors with information on my website about ##Keyword## and paused to read but ran out of time. I will book mark it and come back to read later. This isn't really what I was looking for what I really need is information about http://www.horse-lover-gift-ideas-central.com related subjects but thank you and I shall return. I wish you well.
