I FIND I have a project (coin packet book) but no overall great plan on how to accomplish it. But I'm thinking that since April is National Poetry Month it might be relevant (and enjoyable) to make small poetry books.I am only two days behind on this project. It's the little f

Love your colourful designs. Adding poetry to the mix sounds a great idea too.

Happies from Your Pal
