Beth Jones	Posted - Jan 31 2012 : 07:16:00 AM OK< Let's see if I can explain this...I saw this long time ago and have wanted to try one....It's more fun when you share it with others, right? Right.... Here goes ****************************************************************************************************************************************** Debtea2~~DebbiesJourney Beth~~heritagehunter marlee~~AmyD buzznbee~~FarmHen ****************************************************************************************************************************************** You take an old book... at least 1 1/2 inches thick or more. Have an old book with a pretty spine, back and front cover. First, you cut out the inside of the book, leaving an inch and one/half border of the page...You will use an xacto knife or good sharp scissors to cut out the pages. If you use the xacto knife, you will be able to cut several pages at a time. Cut all the pages this way until you get to the back cover... Now, go back and you can use Elmer's glue for this and glue all the pages together, and glue all of this to the back cover so that when you finish there is a box like effect made from the pages being glued together.. This is your box.. Now, Alter the front cover of your book with scrapbooking paper, flowers, just anything that makes it lovely, lace, oh the possibilities.. You can cover the inside cover of the book with scrapbook paper to make it pretty There you have it...A secret hiding place to place your treasures!! When someone opens the book, it will be a surprise!! Who wants to try this....Not hard at all Sign up ends February 28th....Mail out March 25th This gives you time to find the right book...Thrift stores, antique stores or your own bookshelf....Smiles... You can never be to kind!

marlee	Posted - Apr 23 2012 : 12:08:26 PM AmyD THANK YOU for my Book and I just love it. It is totally me. The flowers on the front and pink and cream background. My husband ask me if that is where I'm hiding my chocolate. I just smiled. And also the two book marks they are just so wonderful, and you made them on your machine that just so awesome. Thank you Amy D and for being my swap partner. Bless you Marlee! God is the painter, he paints the picture. And his son builds it, for he is the Master Carpenter!
