Now we all know why bookmaking is so fun!
We're driving up to the mountains today for a well deserved mini vacation. One of the activities that we're planning to enjoy is bookmaking. I will be choosing small paper from the 3 options that Natalie mentions in the first paragraph ;)
I hope that you have a wonderful summer. I will come back here as soon as I have a chance to catch up.
Sending hugs and smiles!

I was finally able to list these pins on Etsy. Yay!!
Life over here is super busy. Bill is still recovering. The kids finish school this week. Very soon we will be on vacation mode, I can't wait!
I hope that you're doing well. This part of the year is always busy so please take it easy :) I'm trying to do the same thing.
See you soon!

I finished these adorable pins a few weeks ago but I haven't have time to list them on my Etsy shop yet. Each head is a wooden hand painted brooch measuring 1 1/2". The little polka dot bows were made out of vintage fabric. Each brooch is backed with a thick circle of gray felt and a metal pin. They're so cute in person!! I couldn't resist drawing little bodies for these girls on a piece of paper :) I will do my best to list them this week.
Thanks a lot for all the good wishes for Bill! He's into a little bit of pain right now, which is normal on the first day after a surgery. But he's doing great.
Yay!!
Just a line to let you know that Bill had his second foot surgery this morning and it was a success! The surgeon removed the metal plates and all the screws plus some hard tissues that seemed to be what was causing the pain. It's kind of painful to write all these words (screws, hard tissue, metal...) but I have to be strong! I'm a full-time nurse again, with an assistant, Bill's Mom is here helping.
Please wish Bill a quick recovering!

I just finished a new miniature book and I'm in love with it!
If everything goes as planned I will be blogging about it tomorrow on my blog about miniature books. It's a precious edition of 11. But only 10 will be available because I'm keeping one for my personal collection.
I made this little fox-girl paper doll specially for the book. I took photos of her in different positions. Each page of the book contains a great quote. I am so excited! One of the elements that I like the most is the paper sleeve that protects the book. I drew a tiny scene on it with ink and there is also a tiny paper flower cut by hand. You will see everything tomorrow! Yay!! I can't wait!
