I have to tell you…I stumbled onto your site and had forgotten how much I love to craft. You have inspired me to get back into something I used to love and now love again. Thank you.

Really love these little books. We are going to make them for a historic letterboxing trail at our Heritage Day here in Purcellville Va. Thanks!

First of all, it's pretty awesome that you're crafting in your dreams and the craft is actually doable (except for the mind open/close thing). Second of all, this is the neatest project! I love making things out of empty cardboard boxes. I'd created the most wonderful desk organizer at my last job out of Swiss Miss hot cocoa boxes. It was pretty rad.

And, as always, your tutorial is clear and well-written. :)

Thank YOU! What a great use for a handmade notebook! My Mom would
totally approve. :-)

I've shopped until I was grumpy looking for a notebook to serve as Christmas Central, the notebook I make Christmas plans in and where I keep track of presents as I find them, make them, buy them, and wrap them up. It's also the place I write out menus and recipes for the most important meals I want to make.

I bought three notebooks! Three and not one of them suits me as much as one I could make myself.

Thank you, Sister Diane. I am going to make the fourth book of the bunch, and this is the one I will use.

Oh goodness, I have no idea, but will bring up the subject over upcoming dinner tables!
There's no consistency in mine. Sometimes if I eat something bad (read: good ol' comfort food) right before bed it sets off the MOST colorful and elaborate dreams. Other times it's when I'm stressed. And then there are times when I've just put down a really inspiring book like, say, oh I don't know, Kanzashi in Bloom (have you read it? it's fabulous;) and I go to bed with visions of sugarplums dancing in my brain. Occasionally when I have one of those all-too-wonderful toss and turn nights (we call this "fish on a beach" sleep) I may roll in and out of creative and inspiring dreams. I get a lot of good color combinations and eye popping patterns when I close my eyes but am not yet asleep, which I try to duplicate through paint or in a sketch the next day. Never quite as good as in the dream, and no I didn't do LSD when growing up in the 60's tho my college professors told me nothing beats smoking pot to enhance a creative moment...but that's another show.
I am going to explore the idea (dream cultivation, not smoking) and will get back to you with the enlightenment that comes my way!
Happy weekend.
