A Birthday Gift for Pam
We had a late birthday celebration for Pam. I was inspired by the handmade gifts I got for my birthday to make this little altered board book for her. It was one of the 10 I had started after her last visit and the only one I had really gotten caught up with. It's fun to make a friend the focus of a project and to think of their personality as the start of each layout. Most of the quotes I found in Angela Cartwright's " In This House".

I really like this book; I've always had a thing about houses. I wish I could hold it in my hands and examine it. It looks like you were working on it while Pam was there. Did she know it was for her?
No, I had no idea! Sharon can be sneaky when she wants to! I was so thrilled with it! It sits now on my desk at work so I can look at it all the time! I love all the little details and that she got a picture of my mother in it. And the pages about the bat refer to my more recent unwelcome "house guest." I will treasure it always. (I posted it on my blog, too)
