Later is here (see note below). I'm enjoying a fabulous book titled Scrapbooks An American History. Some items were familiar; certainly everything old is new again.

This is an altered book created more than 100 years ago.



And this is a journal




How to start the week on the right note:
Have a sister (like mine, who knows a treasure when she sees one) who finds things that will make you catch your breath.

And the are thick bundles...

More later. I have to go to the Post Office....

    Hi Colette, thanks so much for popping by. I've loved coming by and checking out what you've been up to. I loved your stitched text (especially 'gift' and then I saw 'tender'. Touching words.
    What a lovely sister you have...I wanted to comment on this post as I have a lovely sister too who spoils me with creative gifts (and I love it!!!).
    Lovely to catch up.
