Books?

   Those of you that make your own journals-do you have this book or have you seen it?

      I don't have a library nearby-never have lived close to one since we always have lived rural so if I have an interest in a book I buy it.

    I am more careful now and really think about it before I buy a physical book now-then I search the net for the best price.

  

  

Thoughts on this book if you are familiar with it.


  Also I am intrigued with this book too.



  I could not find much information about this one, it's a new release.

   Thank You

  1. We are fortunate to have a library nearby that can be walked to so I do not buy any books online with the exception of some travel ones as the library did not have a current copy. The library also has magazines, Kindle and audio books, DVD films and music CDs which can all be borrowed so we are very fortunate.

    1. I do miss not having a library nearby. When we lived at our woods home there was a county library that was nice to use but one can only have the book out for 2 weeks and with a half drive each way and the two weeks going by fast I t didn't work out as well as I liked.
      we also could not check out magazines at that one we had to read them there. Libraries are wonderful if you live close by

  3. I don't know either of these books Kathy, but they look great. I know what you mean though that sometimes books looks great and when you get them, they are disappointing. hugs-Erika

    1. I buy too many as they are very difficult to sell, I mostly buy books for my kindle except for craft and art books

  8. I found it, the book, dear Kathy
    and it was described in detail... beautiful treasures are created and, above all, you can let your imagination run wild and are not forced to carry out anything accurately. This is how unexpected pieces can emerge.
    Splendid.
    Kind regards to you Kathy. I wish you a happy easter.
    A hug from Viola to you and Larry.
