Of course I did not do what I said I was going to do in my last post. Oh well.
I have been crafting though! One of my students gave me a beautiful blank book for the holidays. I wanted to turn it into a photo album or something because the pages are a beautiful shiny black. Then I decided that it's perfect for my sister and I to send back and forth to each other while she lives out of state. We're filling the pages with letters and art and scrapbook type things. Here's the inside front cover. I used a library pocket from a used book I bought years ago and some of my favorite stamps from my collection.
Then I wrote her a letter and made a little letter pocket to put it in. I was making a stamp for the corner too, but I sliced my hand open with the exacto knife and abandoned that project for awhile.

Oh, MAN, that is so sweet!
I would love to do something like this with my sister, but I'm afraid if I ask her she'll insist that she's just not creative, or she doesn't have the time ... and that if I just go ahead and start it, that she just "won't play."
For the moment, at least, I'll just take vicarious pleasure in you and your sister doing it, I guess. And maybe I'll get brave and ask my sister if she'd do this with me sometime.
Oh, and it's beautiful, as well as wonderful! Nice work.
Thanks, Luci! (there's a real life letter in the works for you too, my friend)
I was really scared that my sister would not want to do this with me, for the same reasons you think your sister wouldn't want to. I suggested it on the phone one night and I hadn't even finished explaining what I wanted to do before she said, "Yes! That sounds cool! Let's do it! Send it to me!" I was so surprised I almost peed myself.
She just got it today and I can't wait to get it back.
