I'll keep posting about this workshop, but so far it's awesome. I already have two little books made, used up a good amount of my stash, and it's only day 1!

"Scraps" Book
Today is the first day of Amy Tan's workshop that I'm taking. Her first tutorial was to make these adorable books using your scraps. GENIUS! I would never have thought to do that. I've seen them on her blog, but had no idea how to do it and now I do! What a great way to use your scraps. From what I understand, we'll be using these books throughout her class so I'm excited to see what they'll be used for. I made two of them today (because they're so quick and easy to put together). One for me and one for Caylan. I brought my scrap file out...yes, I have a whole file system...and let Caylan pick out some of her favorite papers. It was fun watching her choose. Here they are.
