Birthday Goodies

Andrew got me this fabulous book (see above and follow link) for my birthday along with a couple of awesome photography gadgets, and I love it so I wanted to share. It has some great ideas for making your own "green" art supplies and also some great art projects with recycled materials. I have spent the last three nights sifting through this book over and over again for good ideas and avoiding sleep. One of my personal favorite projects was the idea for making journals out of recycled materials, which I already do for myself and did for my sustainability class, but this book had some great ideas for new and more creative designs!

The same people have the another book, "Rebound" that delves into this journal/book-making so I ordered it today. I am so pumped!! I love journaling and love books and creative outlets and these ideas combine all three loves. I'm thinking it may be such a great project that I may start making them and selling some?! etsy store maybe? I'll keep you posted, but until then, check these books out yourself for some great ideas.

Sorry for the random "look inside" text, I borrowed/stole these photos off of amazon.com. You can't actually click on the books and look inside, but you can follow the links in the text below to see inside them on amazon.com.

Also, I'm going to have my first "giveaway" soon where you can win free stuff from my blog! Stay posted!
