Also you must have read my mind.... I was debating an altered book as my next project, but didn’t know where to start! And you came to the rescue, my wonderful papyrohiliac heroine. 💖🐝

Right now they have so many books, that for a limited time they are all 10 cents. Any size. I bought 5 books there today. Some for collage and some to read. I love the aged pages, which can be used for so many projects .🎨🖌 so happy that I found your channel

  • I love altering books and making them into something new, beautiful and useful for me. I get all of my books from a store here in Knoxville, TN called McKay's. They have 2 big bins outside that they put books into when they are cleaning off their shelves to make room for newer and more popular books that people bring in to trade, sell or to get a store credit for. the books in these bins are free for the taking. A lot of people bring in bags, totes or boxes full of books, magazines, CDs, DVDs and games that they no longer want and put them in the bins for others to take. McKay's also have two other locations here in TN, Chattanooga and Nashville. I visit them anytime I am in those areas also. There is nothing better than free books when you do what we do. LOL Thank you for the time and effort you put into making these videos. You are such an inspiration to us all.

  • Hi! I enjoyed watching your process; TFS. I have been watching 49 dragonflies doing her altered bullet point book and came from her channel. ♥️ I have made well over 100 altered hardback journals but I use card stock to create 10 to 12 double-sided spreads. I add lace trim to each page. Usually I add a fabric cover but lately I made several without the fabric covers. I added a focal point on each one similar to how you showed the red florals you painted. Anyway, I really like these last three. PS I am a brand new subscriber!

  • I love that you’ve given me so much to think about when looking for a vintage book to use for journaling. In my home town which is about 260 miles from where I live now, has the most amazing used book store. It’s a very old 3 story building that dates back to the early 1900’s. I love going in when I go back home and I can spend hours in there. The next time I go, I will have so much more to think about when I purchase my books. My husband is a huge history buff and loves going in and he’s even harder to get out of there than I am.

  • Thanks for sharing...I love your ideas 👏👏😀 I am just moved to the country side and we have a little second hand shop, and OMG 😱 they had a hole side of the the shop with books and a hole side( a very very very big wall with only OLD BOOKS 😩🤪🤪 my husband was with my so I could only buy a few books 😂🤣 5 small children books because they was so lovely. When I came home I sew they was from 1856 😱😱 so I simply couldn’t cut them up. They are sitting in my living room 😍 My dream is now to make a library with only old beautiful books. Do I sad I looove old books.😂😍 I simply must go to the shop when my craft room is finished. It isn’t a real room but the hall on the 1st floor of our house ( i don’t know the English word for it.) it is very big and have so much natural light from the 2 large windows in the roof. We moved in 1.august so everything is new for us and still lots of moving boxes 🙂 Thanks again for sharing your beautiful creations Blessings from Denmark 🇩🇰 Tina 💙🦋

  • Found this video today from watching the start of Shabby's where she mentioned you got her into this challenge, and she said you went into a good deal of detail. So I have watched this video, sourced a book, torn out pages and done the gluing and pocket making. I am leaving out to dry overnight and then it will be play time. :) This will be my first altered book attempt. :) Thank you for going to so much trouble in this video. It gave me the confidence to give it a go. :)
