I did the title page of the scrapbook last night. I do need to get a little button thingy for the tack on the door.

Front title page:

Back of the title page:

This book started as a creative response to overwhelming creative doubt. IT’s a look at success, failure, and
hope.
Above all, this book is a tribute to not letting the door hit you on the butt, to being willing to try Door #3.

Two of my to-do items (meet and game) were cancelled today. This has given me more editing time to procrastinate on. It has also made it possible for me to read the SCUBA book. Fascinating.

so, I just finished page one of my new scrapbook. It’s the title page, so it has a paper door, with a button for the door handle. I even included a tiny metal hinges. For the title, I wrote ” opportunity does not knock. ” and on the back, I wrote a single paragraph explaining what the scrapbook is all about.

I could probably go on to later stories, but I really have my heart set on doing ” the fairies” first. For that, I am still waiting for my pressed fairy note cards to arrive. In the meantime, I suppose I can focus on planning the other story layouts.

The last two paragraphs were dictated using speech recognition. I did do minor corrections, however.
