Description:

I always loved this time of year, getting new school supplies. I think it was the possiblilties that they could be used for anything. This swap is for an altered compostion book. The little black and white ones that are about 7 inches by 9 inches. They are great for journals, lists, just about anything you can think of. Decorate the outer covers and inside if you like but only the outer is required. Be sure to sign it some place. Due to the weight of th ebooks I am limiting this swap to the US and Canada Only

I'm really interested in this, but I figure it's better to wait until I've finished making the book to sign up. That way, if I end up...not actually doing it, I won't be flaking out on anyone.

i just made one of these for myself a couple of weeks ago. Target has all colors for 50 cents.

I am almost finished with mine.. I kinda want to keep it for myself.. but I guess I will let it go :) I think I need to head to target to get a few more of these composition books.. you have the good part of altered books (doing the cover) without fretting about a hundred pages inside to do :)

w00t. I've finished mine, and now just have to add a few sparkly bits and I'm done.

I am done too.. it turned out well.. I put a pocket on the inside of the back cover and also put in the pocket some art tags w/ funky fibers.. this turned out really well.

That is, quite frankly, awesome. Better than the multiplication table and all that they normally put on the inside of the books.

Would you mind if I end up stealing that idea just a little bit?

Oh, I tooka peek all right, and it's gorgeous! I just signed up on swap-bot, but had hit the Target sale too. Guess it was meant to be . . .

thank you :)I found some colored ones at walmart too- although I guess it doesn't matter for me the color b/c I cover it up anyways.. I am really proud of this one.. and I know when I start wanting to keep stuff I make or sell it on ebay then the quality of my work is getting better..

That is the most gorgeous book I've ever seen. Makes mine kinda feel all inferior and stuff.

Seriously though... -keeps staring at the pwetty notebook-

Hi, Louisianamomma! I'm SO glad you liked your book! This was my first swap, first altered book, and it was so much fun to make, I'm doing a couple for gifts.

PinkLotus 09/ 6/2006 #

I admire it everyday.. I am thinking of using it as a sort of diary.. I am making some for xmas gifts also :) this was a great swap..

P.S. I love the found items that hang off the fibers.. really neat idea.
