For All You Jigsaw Lovers

It's a puzzle to me...

 

Wishing and Hoping

For All You Lawyers and Friends of Lawyers

I got an order the other day for the scales of justice. Here's how it turned out.

I had to search for awhile to find just the right book--something to do with the law that had enough pages to fold. I ran across this one at a used book store.



Then I found some law books to make more. Know a lawyer who needs a nifty gift? Just let me know!

Here Comes the Bride...and Groom!



This nifty couple is headed across the ocean for a very special wedding.

The bride tells me that her colors are gray and kelly green and she chose this classic background for the endpapers.

I made this same duo when my baby got married, but I updated the font on the groom's book and I think it turned out beautifully.

I've said it before, but it's not easy photographing folded books. Half of the fun of seeing one is watching has the light changes as you walk around it. Sometimes a video does it better justice. See what I mean...

Mmmmmm...Good!

I like M's.

 

Tall elegant M's and ...

 

 

big, rounded M's...

and prim and proper M's...

 

 

Do you have a favorite someone whose name starts with M? Click here to order a book just for themmmmmm.

D is for Delightful

I like capital D's.

 

Because when you use them to fold a word like this...

 

or this...

 

...they look extra nice.

Reading With Scissors Goes Shopping

You know the best thing about weekends? Estate sales! I am addicted.

 

This week Captain America and I checked out the sprawling metropolis of Conroe to see what good things they had in store. Look what I got!

 

A couple of sacks of RDCBs with their shiny gold pages.

Some books that would be great for customizing.

Know a psychologist or psychiatrist who needs their name in this one?

Or how about this one for someone born in 1961?

Speaking of customization, here's a big book I did recently using a Texas A&M Directory of Former Students. I think it was a graduation gift. As I'm writing this, there's one still available on Etsy if you'd like to order a graduation gift yourself. It's not too late.

 

 

I found this old Spanish-English dictionary in Conroe, too. The pages are too fragile to fold, but I think it might make a nice vase for some book flowers. It's small, about the size of my palm and I like that it looks well-used.

 

I also got this sweet desk that is going to become the shipping department at Reading With Scissors. 

Wanna know why Captain America is my hero? Because he spends his Saturdays "driving Miss Daisy" as he calls it...


...and he repairs her new shipping department when it needs it.

<happy sigh>
