What I should do...

You may well ask why I am writing this instead of doing the other zillion things I should be doing. I should be working or packing up charms ready to go to a swap to which they're due. I could be making artist papers for a swap or some inchies because I'm in TWO swaps for those. Or I could be making a book just CUZ. I could make a deco that is percolating in my brain. But no, I'm writing.

Here are some photos of the last two books I've made. Yep, I'm in a swap for those too! The problem is that I've been assigned to exchange books with someone who thanked everyone else on earth but me in another swap and she hurt my feelings. So I keep making books and liking them too well to give away, especially to her. It's hard to not do your best work because that's not being true to yourself. I don't want to be petty, I just don't want to stick my neck out and be disappointed again. And she'd probably thank someone else for it or not thank anyone at all. And then I want to kick myself for doing it for gain. I'm in it for the love of doing it, not for what I'll get back. Here are the books. The smaller one is going to be mailed. I've decided to just go ahead and be the bigger person I would like to think I am.

This is the little book. The one I'll send off to the great unknown. :( But it's so CUTE!
