Finally!

What I mean is that I've finally made a book that I'm proud of! After much learning and practising I've made this book using 100% recycled paper pages and a cover made of brown kraft card.  The leaf on brown background is actually a piece of handmade paper (but not handmade by me) and I think it finishes it off nicely.  I bound it by sewing using off-white cotton string.  I'm really proud of this book and I hope it shows that I made it with a lot of love and care.

If you would like to have it for yourself or as a lovely gift it is available here.

Mini Handmade Book

I've blogged about this book before when I'd just made it but I wanted to show you all how I'm currently using it. 

I've been doodling ideas and also using it for my shopping lists.  I've even sent hubby to the supermarket with it but I think he kept it in his wallet so no one could see! I like using it because I can easily find the bright blue colour in my handbag which is better than those pieces of paper that I used to lose and it is also a great way to do some quick idea sketches whilst standing in a line somewhere.  I love the fact that the pages are made from an old envelope too!

I'm planning to make some more soon since this one doesn't have too many pages.
