Lenna in Dawn's Book

Dawn has created a wonderful book she's named 'Travelers' that I got to work in recently. Her cover is made up of embroidered velvets and has a green tassel with bells that really ring. I scanned her book with the added pages inside - click on any picture for more detail. Here's Dawn's cover - don't you just want to pick it up and hold it? : ^ ) Sara, you can do that soon! I will be sending it to you tomorrow.

On the inside of her book, Dawn made a wonderful sign-in page on the inside cover. She added buttons along the top for all of us to tie the tags that we personalized as a sign-in for her book. That's me, in California in 1979, on my tag. The buttons to hold the tags are a great idea, Dawn! Here's a peek with tags by Dawn, Robyn & me . . . . that's Dawn's page on the right.

Below right, you'll see my page, before I tied it in to Dawn's book with the 3 rings she provided - I used twill tape for ties:





My page is based on a true story of my cat Zanzibar driving across the country from California to Connecticut - with us (my ex-husband & me)- not by herself!! She really was a traveler as she did this more than once! All three photos I used were from one of her cross-country trips with us. That's her in the truck, sitting on the divider between the front seats. Now, I don't know if she REALLY wished it would rain, like it says on the back of the page . . . that's my creative license ; ^ ) I added the beaded trim as it was reminiscent of those days (1979!)

Here is my page tied inside dawn's book - front . . .

What fun! Thanks, Dawn : ) lenna
