now, and then, and now . . .

This tiny 2 1/2 by 2 1/2-ish square book was created as the 

first in a series of small,simple, hand made books, each 

containing a classic proverb or saying.

The textured black cardstock cover contains repurposed

ephemera from Vintage Page Designs, the alphabet is 

vintage, and the images are from the Sewing and Notions 

sets, both available at Blockheads.

You may have noticed the Altered Arts Magazine link in

my sidebar.  I am very pleased to "officially" say thank

you for the opportunity to be a part of the Altered Arts

Design Team.  I've always been partial to Altered Arts, 

probably because they were the first publication I ever

submitted anything to, and they accepted it, plus my next

piece, too, and a few more after that . . .

Here is a pic of the pieces in my first official "publishing,"

back in 2009 :

Thank you again, Altered Arts, for the the then, and the now!

:)

P.S.--Brenda has some lovely things in her Tuesday Treasures,

so I joined in there!
