Guess What I have been up to? Mailing mailing mailing!!!!!

 The custom word books have arrived from MOSD and we are packing packing packing!  I have had the envelopes ready with my instruction sheets in them...waiting to pop these terrific books in the mail to all of you PATIENT and I mean Patient!!! customers.  You have been the best!  As you can see I WAS BURIED and in turn so was MOSD!  We have been working like crazy to get these all to you.  I have all but a few ( like 3 !) that needed address research or an extra tidbit ... stamped and labeled and ready for the the Post Office.  I used my great new recyclable grocery bags as mail sacks today.  Now remember there are two layers in these bags...you are only seeing the top half!  So happy to have these on their way.  Start stalking the mailman if you are one of the lucky ones to have a custom wordbook on its way to you!  Hugs, Cara

Let's take Wordbooks to the next level!

As you know I have been teaching Wordbook classes at conventions all year but I have created a technique that will take your wordbooks to the next level.  These fun 6" tall spaces of chipboard look great covered in your favorite patterned papers and layered with embellishments, photo mats and photos.  I love the look and have been having so much fun with making WORDBOOKS for class and all my friends.  But...and this is a really big but... what if you could cover the letter with your photo..ya...your photo!!! An awesome sunset that I saw on my way home from a long trip and it made me feel all warm inside...well now it is on the letter Y on my word book.  How amazing is that?  Oh but you are thinking that looks like a lot of work.  Actually I make it easy for you...This is part of the July kit and those of you that going to be getting this month's kit will see what I mean!  And beginning in August...you can get YOUR photos ready to attach to your custom WORDBOOKS!! .  Too cool and just think of the possibilities. I will be adding more samples so you can see how these photo Custom Books work.
