Still Boogieing with Mary Ann Moss and the FTB group, and I'm happy as a clam! Finally finished my practice book which was much easier than I expected to bind and stitch. Where I ran into difficulty was in glueing signatures together, but after an adjustment or two it was perfect, and turned out to be a case of needing more practice, practice, practice.
Here are three pics plus a flip-thru of the inside pages. What began as a 9 signature book, ended as an 8 signature book plus a pamphlet. The video explains that happy accident.
The video quality....well, lack of quality....don't pay attention to the bad lighting, poor audio, no editing, etc. Just get what you can from it and know that I really don't lisp, (it really is the camera's audio), and know that the pages look SO much better in real life. I'm not a videographer, obviously, and my camera is as old and temperamental as they get...Don't judge.

your journal is very cool! I really like your idea of having the pages different widths- makes it very interesting! Hope you show more as you work on it.

This is a really great book you did. I love it. So loving this class a lot but all of Mary Ann's classes are great.

Barbara, you have such a sweet voice (lisp and all, LOL)! I love happy accidents and yours ended you up with TWO books - how awesome is that?! I ADORE your FTB book; it's so neat and tidy and evenly spaced - makes my OCD heart happy! Love the bright colors, too, and the wide variety of papers inside. Nice job! (You weren't one of the chimps, obviously!)

Lots and lots of eye candy in your journal, Barbara! Love those little pockets and the way you've incorporated pieces of children's books. It's wonderful!!! Hugs, Terri xoxo
