I have joined Myfanwy's online class of making Little Books. I am not actually doing very well with them, here is one I have made, it is not finished - yet - if you wish to see more you will have to go to my other Blog -http://jansjournaljourney.blogspot.com/
I am kind of enjoying the class, but feel totally out of my comfort zone. Oh well, you win some you lose some. I shall have lots of little books by the end of the six weeks though.

I love them all.

My goodness....such a lot of interesting photos here! You might have been away from the computer but you still had a lot going on!
That is a lot to digest in one go! I love the fish by the igloo! So cute. Also your landscape card looked really good.
Your landscape embellished card is brilliant Jan I love the colours in the Sampler of Psalms too, no wonder your other half claimed it . The house blocks are typical of your original take on things - lovely. Di's bag is a bit special too.
Lots of eye candy here!
Your books are coming along really well. Read the message I've just posted in the group.
You are doing such a lot of lovely things & the swap sounds very interesting
Hugs Janice
Hi, I was in the red white and blue swap with you. It was so fun to get my package too. It was fun to see where everyone was from. I'll be checking into your blog so keep up the good work.
That is a lot to digest in one go!
