I been painting, painting, painting… then stamping, stamping, stamping…then cutting, cutting, cutting, and THEN gluing, gluing, gluing. All for some little fat book pages that are due this weekend. I made a whopping 53 pages!
They are for the Artfest Retreat that I will be going to in March. Eeeeekks! It’s coming up quick!! In case you don’t know, (i didn’t) a fat book is a small, but fat, book made up of a collection of little 4×4 inch pieces of art, each page being made by someone different. I’ll be sending these off to someone who will evenly distribute all the pages into little books for everyone who participated. We will get them at Artfest.
Speaking of the Artfest Retreat, Teesha is giving away a free spot at Artfest, including lodging!! Go check it out if you’ve always wanted to go but have never been able.
I also wanted to share my teeny little blurb in Country Living Magazine, March 2010 issue. It’s my little paperbag journals that I made a while back. Cool huh?

Congratulations on the Country Living piece. Do yourself a favor and don’t call it a teeny little blurb. I had a mentor who really impressed upon me that we women often do not value ourselves and the work we do fully. I am very impressed to see your lovely work in print. Hooray!

i saw the mention in Country Living yesterday! How cool was that??? I had marked your project as a great idea when you originally posted it. So nice that a national mag thought so too!
