Cactus Monday and ArtySoulSisters Book: Page One

Cute story: As we were leaving the Mexican restaurant Saturday evening my grand daughter asked me why I was taking this photo. I told her about our Cactus Monday and my needing a photo to post today. I then told her that Tuesday was Blooming Tuesday and I'd post a flower.

She then wanted to know what Wednesday was, and I told her Animal Wednesday...and then she asked what Thursday would be...I said Grateful Thursday and I often posted about being grateful for having wonderful grand kids; What is the next day, and the next...I had to expound on each day of the week for her. Now she knows how her grandmother celebrates her days! *****************

You know about our traveling books...here you see the

cover attached to the first page of my ArtySoulsisters Traveling book

I sewed an extra padded strip of fabric between cover and page and at end of first page

for adding next artist's art-worked page to my book.

My first page is sewn to my cover this way!

Do click on photos to see details....even the colored threads are worth a look!

Close up: I used dyed drier sheets, and lots of "Woolie Bits" I bought and got

from Terry Busse's ETSY store.

At times I felt like I was channeling Terry while working on this page.

This is the back of the page, backs often are as interesting as the fronts... I machine felted the whole piece, top sewed free motion style, and added some glitter glue for extra sparkle

The sun shines on Cactus Monday!
