A little book & one page from Ireland...

Also, here is a prototype of the word book I was going to make for the scrapbook class next Saturday. I've changed my mind to use a different word for the class because I guess I don't know what to do with 2 books of the same word. I'm not 100% happy with how the book turned out. I used the Gypsy font heart instead of the letter "o". I can't think of anything remarkable to say about this book, except that I learned the "chipboard" (e.g. cereal boxes) doesn't slip around as much on old mats in the Cricut if the printed side is down (facing the mat). I might have a dull blade or something, but I find that sometimes the knife edge will grab on the lower left corner regardless of the direction of the mat. I've put in a new blade recently too.











So, the word for the class is _______________________. Fill in the blank for your suggestions or I will choose one of two candidate words that start with the letter M. (You have to guess this, too.)


And a page from Ireland. Will I ever finish this book that I planned to finish in just one year (now going on three years)??? Andy lost one of his favorite rugby shirts in this town and I opened the back of the camera, damaging my film because I thought it said "E" for empty but it said "3" for third picture. This was the last stop for the Titanic before it sank and the museum was really interesting. We met some nice Irish folks in the pub over dinner. As I recall it rained while we were there. The city has had three names: Cove, Queenstown, and now is Cobh (pronounced Cove) under the various English & Irish ruling periods. I really loved Ireland and would go back in a heartbeat!

I love the LOVE book. Are you going to keep it or give it to Andy for V-Day? (Kind of like keeping it, I guess!). Oh, I wish I was there for the class!!! I think you should do "TRACK" or "MAT" but I'm not there!

The Ireland page is beautiful! I know I need to get those Disney books too (my goal was before x-mas for both and only got one done - then I thought the 2nd one might be done by V-Day but I think I better give up on that too!).

Have a great weekend!
