Hilarious and with so much verisimilitude! ;o)<BR/><BR/>I too have been bitten by the scrap bug to such an extent that it borders on the absurd. Thousands of dollars worth of cool STUFF I just have to have!<BR/><BR/>How much actual scrapping have I done? <BR/><BR/>Well, a fair number of digital pages and Nancy Drew cards. ;o)<BR/><BR/>My next prospective project is an altered book.<BR/><BR/>Like my creative writing aka lesson plans, they are in "my head". ;o) <BR/><BR/>I am reading every book I can get my hands on about creating such a book.<BR/><BR/>I have artist trading cards. Yes, of kitty cats! LOL.<BR/><BR/>And there are vintage altered art sheets that are so gorgeous that the notion of taking a scissors to them is somewhat horrifying.<BR/><BR/>I sell vintage Nancy Drew books on Ebay. That interest, albeit obession led me to your site.<BR/><BR/>I guess that is what my university studies in Criminal Justice, Poli Sci, Early Childhood have prepared me for! I have yet to figure out a way to incorporate Spanish into the picture but I'll think of something.<BR/><BR/>Everyone tells me I should write professionally and I tend to agree for writing is my passion. However, there is this desire, a yen for near perfection that hinders me so, in the interim, I write long letters to my friends as well as lengthy Nancy listings on Ebay.<BR/><BR/>Over the years I have received but ONE complaint, more of a ranting, about the length of my letter from an aquaintance in Arizona. That was the last time i graced her with a twenty page letter!<BR/><BR/>The way I figure it, unlike a slide show, a letter (and applicable to most any writing I suppose) does not require a captive audience. If she did not care to read my tome, she didn't have to do so, right? <BR/><BR/>Thanks!!!<BR/><BR/>Next step- I buy your book and if it is anywhere near as good as it sounds I'll sell some copies!<BR/><BR/>KTKathleenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15739786962025278062noreply@blogger.com
