She thought I would want it because it looks "crafty." But I have no idea what the heck it is. I don't have room for it and would like to find a new home for it (unless I find out ... http://www.re-conceived.com/blog2/?p=228 I just had to share this funny picture of my brother and my cat. What's really funny about it is that Cinco looks like she's freaking out. In reality she was just "talking" but I happened to catch her right at the right moment with her teeth showing. That's why ... http://www.re-conceived.com/blog2/?p=226 It's a little bit short notice, but anyone reading this is invited to my baby brother's first solo show of his typewriter art at Paper Boy, 1351 W. Belmont, Chiacago. The reception is Thursday from 5 to 8.

But I didn't realize until just now that they are selling the books on their web ... http://www.re-conceived.com/blog2/?p=185 Today is an important day at re-conceived.com headquarters. It is the day that I received (and later passed) my 1,000th positive feedback on Etsy. This calls for a celebration. Ice cream for everyone! http://www.re-conceived.com/blog2/?p=183 In my search for old books to cut up and use in my various projects, I often come across bits of ephemera left between the pages. Photos, personal notes, newspaper clippings, recipes.... I've found it all. Last week I found an old Boy Scout handbook that had lots of ephemera stuck ... http://www.re-conceived.com/blog2/?p=181 This week I've been making tons of these little guys. They are tiny notebooks made with used CTA cards as covers. They are so fun to make and are a good way to use up little scraps of paper that are left over from other projects.
