A slow start this morning as we had to go to order the cheminee pieces for the new fire in what is to become the lounge. I had to pick myself off the floor as we received the quote for the order, our first house in 1969 did not cost very much more!!!! What with the miserable weather, drizzly rain and the shock of the cost for the cheminee I was glad to come back home and commence work on my small book for Alex and Kelly.

I worked on the inside pages using hand made paper inserts inside gold coloured paper. I used quotations from the passage from the Corinthians, Love is kind, etc.. and pieced together the shrink plastic covers with the pages using split jump rings.
I made a box cover to fit the book, covered it with tissue paper and spray painted it. Finally I made some shrink plastic hearts which I put on the box cover and on some of the inside pages.

By the time I had finished the natural light had gone and so I was unable to photograph the book and box, but hopefully I will tomorrow, and post it on the blog.
