Stamps Ahead

Here is what was in my package to my blind date with a book partner, a long post follows: Book packed in pretty brown paper from my stash.  I have used Tim Holtz Thinlets 662697 die to create the pocks on the front of the package.  Also shown are instructions to book partner and a small bag of additional bits and pieces for her to use. There is a small journal card, a small book, a bookmark (that could be used as a belly band or to create clusters and tucks.  There is also a selection of ribbons and lace I decorated some of the pages in the small book. Stencils had a great highlight to plain pages. Great pianola paper with words and numbers on it. A tuck with a couple of small cards that can be added to the journal. Another stencil to fill a plain page. Front and back pages of book.  This is a great way to use sentiment sheets that often come with paper packs. Folded it is 3" x 4" approx.  Here is the blind date book I sent: Full of quotes - one per page.  They can be removed

I am participating in a "blind date with a book" challenge over at  Junk Journal Fix with SunflowersAndDors!   It is like a regular blind date where you don't know what you're getting until you get there - but with books!! And to make it even more interesting, someone else make the choice for you! Here is my book packaged ready for postage tomorrow to my swap partner in Adelaide, SA. Some hints as to the book I have sent: Inspired by a movie you may have seen and loved. Draw inspiration Words to live by Principles to live by A year-long adventure I will post what is inside when my blind date with a book partner has received her package. Thank you for looking, Margaret
