I just have way too much going on in my life right now.....and much of my life after January is uncertain at this point. With travelling / my own cardmaking / blogging and a whole freakin' host of other stuff, I just can't commit. It sounds fun, but I really don't know alot about altered books either. From what I understand, pretty much anything goes! Good luck with your project though!!Jeannehttp://bermudabluez.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5114884266541988246.post-28942069661957515322008-11-05T23:34:35.000-07:002008-11-05T23:34:35.000-07:00Not crafty at all...have fun :-)Not crafty at all...have fun :-)Junehttp://spatter.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5114884266541988246.post-85885759379652720362008-11-06T00:41:55.000-07:002008-11-06T00:41:55.000-07:00Hmmm...it sounds interesting, Lisa!

Can I be a "maybe" till I can get access to the website and read more about what's involved? I'm not crafty as such (not unless it involves yarn or fabric). Heh...I have a box full of stuff from my wedding (nearly 18 months ago) that I keep planning to "scrapbook"...once I find out exactly how to do that! So, I am sorry to be so wishy-washy.

I scrapbook, so this seems like the next step. I have a scrapbook blog if you want to take a look. Here is my address:<br>http://splummer-scrapbooks.blogspot.com/<br>Just click on Scrapbooks and you'll go right to my blog. I'll be putting you in my blog list so I can keep track of this possible swap. Take Care!!<br><br>SherrieSherriehttp://splummer-scrapbooks.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
