The Holiday Sale was so fun. I love having my house full of friends! Thank you so kindly to everyone who came. And thank you for buying handmade! Here are a few photos from the pop-up shop. I think in my next life I will own a shop and spend my time making window displays–I really enjoy [...] A few weekends ago, we were vendors at the Harvest Festival at Royalty Pecan Farms. The whole day was perfect: Beautiful weather. Hardworking, handsome husband. New friends. Old friends. Tasty local eats. The long day started out with a beautiful sunrise as we drove. So peaceful. The farm is amazing. This was my view all day. I think [...] Tomorrow is the Holiday Sale! If you are new to Book Bound Bindery, here is a peek at some of things you will find tomorrow at the sale. Handmade Journals. The pages are blank inside and so lovely. Most covers were made with vintage fabric. Notebooks. Seven different covers to choose from: bird, butterfly, zebra, truck, dino, tree, [...] Just before I boxed up my studio, I made Sarah and Marty’s wedding guest book.

He directed the entire project – I tried my best to follow orders. Max wanted me to draw a T-rex on each one. But… my T-rex skills are a little rusty and so I asked him what his second choice was. Dinos with long, long necks. Ok. [...] I guess photo books may not technically be “handmade”… but I still put them in that category. Photo books make great gifts for all occasions. My mom has made a couple in recent years that my boys just love to look at. First up: Spiral Bound pages measuring 9″ by 12″ My mom printed 4″ by 6″ [...] When I stumbled upon this tutorial, I knew my 2-year-old must have a little family of guys for Christmas. Now, these guys go every where with him – even to nap time (they ride in a little bucket). I used fabric scraps from my grandma’s stash. I’m a sentimental fool about everything (I even save the money [...] I’m always looking for indoor activities for our family. Two reasons: So for Christmas, I made the boys a hopscotch mat. I used the fabric from a couch slip cover I’ve had [...]
(The boys trying on the scarfs they made for all their grandparents. Cooper was so excited he got to use the scissors for a project.) December was a blur. A happy, fun, wonderful blur.
