Book of Me---I COLLECT
Book of Me---I COLLECT
Here is your first Book of Me topic. Every couple of weeks I will post a new one.
Interpret this as you will, scrapbook, journal, altered book page. Photos or no photos, but hopefully some journaling.
Any size, any medium--this is for YOU (of whomever you are working on a book for)
Topic 1
I COLLECT
we all have things that we collect, not a hobby (but it could be) per se but something that just seems to find it's way into your space. This is a topic that can work for just about anyone.
Make a piece of work about collecting.
As always--if you feel comfortable sharing (and I hope you do) please post to this thread.
I can't wait to see what we all "collect"

Re: Book of Me---I COLLECT
Started working on my book this weekend. Pulled some layouts I had put in other books that I wanted to put all together in one book. I can sure relate to the collector, since I had way too many different collections. This thread will help me organize my book, thanks for the ideas.
Re: Book of Me---I COLLECT
here is my page. I did this one in my art journal.
(for the girls books I'll probably do scrapbook pages--they enjoy looking at those)
I Collect---Postage stamps

Very cool Christy! I have so many things that I collect so this should be easy.

Re: Book of Me---I COLLECT
I really wanted to make a personal journal, so I'll use these prompts...thanks Christy for getting me going. It is called Collector of Dreams. I didn't put a lot of thought into it...just sat with some paint and stamps and typed freely at an old typewriter.
I collect dreams of the faces of my babies and dreams of their babies. I dream in color, of sunshine days and blue clouds and rainbows. I dream of days gone by and the days yet to come. I am a collector of memories. I see fields of wildflowers and clouds that dance. I dream of the smells of the garden and the smells of the people I love. I see dancing in the meadow and visions of my grand babies playing. I dream of people coming together with gentleness and kindness. I dream of my friends and sounds of their laughter and bitterness of all our tears. I dream of a reunion day of those that have gone. I hear music, and laughter and dancing. I dream of the butterflies floating thru the air and sound of the humingbird brushing my shoulder. I have lived and laughed and loved dearly. I dream of growing old gracefully with the people I love around me. I am a quiet dreamer...but have enjoyed realizing remarkable dreams.

Re: Book of Me---I COLLECT
Great LO Beth I remember seeing them before. I used to collect mugs but don't have any more room for them so I collect refrigerator magnets! Much less space

Re: Book of Me---I COLLECT
You all inspire me! I love the stamp collecting and the why you do it Christy. Julie --yours is gorgeous and almost prayerful. Beth-- mugs are cool! and I collect pretty (or at least what I consider pretty) plates, teacups, luncheon sets, dessert plates, etc. so I can totally understand mugs! LOL
I am thinking the journal is the way I want to go on this, so wish me luck as I have never journaled before.
