I mentioned a few days ago that I've been interested in repurposing damaged and unappreciated books into things that can be loved again. When I found this classic children's book sitting sadly in a trash pile, I knew it had to be saved! About half the pages on the inside were torn or cut apart, rendering the book unreadable. The other half of the pages were perfect though, so I carefully pulled them out of the book and made them into a small stationary set to be used once more.
I was worried people might be upset or insulted by me pulling books apart, but I truly make sure that the books I use are beyond reading or donating condition before I do these things.
Tomorrow is Friday and I am oh-so-excited! I think next Monday I'll share my Valentine's from the past few years with you all!
