I Finally have an Address Book!!!

I wanted to share a project that I have been working on for a while now. A little something for me, that I have been working on in between everything else. I have putting together this binder below as an address book for me. I have never really had an adrress book before. I always knew where all my friends lived, but over the past few years I have made so many new friends. Friends through this great hobby of ours, friends for life. I do not want to lose track of you all and I certainly could never remember everyones addresses. So I created this:

It actually started with a binder that I won from a Studio Calico kit called 'Paris'. Instead of using the Paris map that came with it, I used the beautiful Hometown Collection paper from 'October Afternoon'. I was really drawn to this paper after seeing the great projects created by the DT at Studio Calico. I LOVE the colors. Blue is my favorite color anyways, so I had to have this paper.

I really wanted to use all the patterns, so I decided to make a patchwork cover ala Liz. I always LOVE her creations. So voila, this is my address book. The cover is complete. I painted the whole inside cover black. I am still working on the inside pages. I have a page for each friend. On the front of each page is a picture of the friend and on the back, I have the address, e-mail and phone #. I have contacted some of you for your addresses. I know sometimes more that once, I know, still having some AOL e-mail issues. Sorry! I really LOVE how it is coming along and wanted to share this with all of you. It is still a work in progress...

Hope you all have a great weekend. We are going to a really cool Pumpkin Festival today. Of course, I will share pictures and LO's soon! Happy Scrappy Fall!!
