Crochethoughts

I know it has been a long time since I last blogged. So sorry. I will admit I have been going through a slump. My sells dropped down to nothing for a month and I just did not have the desire to put so much energy into something that at the time seemed pointless. But I am back and it is not pointless at all because I love what I do and still have tons of ideas and plans.

One of my most recent projects was an envelope book. I call it my Lil' envelope book because it is listed in my lilthoughts shop. The idea comes from this blog. These great little scrapbooks are made from mailing envelopes salvaged from my own mail. The envelopes are different sizes which give it stair step pages. I then altered the pages with paint, stamps,  images and more to make a scrapbook.

I also made custom tags for some of the envelopes to add journal spots while others are left empty for memorabilia. These books are easy and inexpensive and so much fun to make. I have made 2 and am working on a 3rd with coffee stained pages.
