Fantastic Friends

What wonderful friends I have on the Lotstodo forum. I opened my post today and this is what had arrived. I was so over whelmed with it. Everyone on the forum had joined in and made a couple of skinnys to make up this absolutely stunning book. Thank you to Chris, Jo, Angie, Shairon, Alison, Andrea, AngC, Lauren, Dawne, Caz, Ju, Kathleen and Mags for the stunning pages and Hilda for the fabulous covers. Hilda was having problems getting to grips with the metal, but as you can most definitely see, she's cracked it now. A big THANK YOU to all of you, especially Andrea who came up with the idea but everyone else for taking her up on it and joining in.

Fat Page Lottery Win - Green

Every month on the Lotstodo Forum there has been a fat page lottery draw, but Decembers is the last one. Basically the previous winner sets the theme and any forum member is free to join in if they wish. If you do, all names are put into a 'hat' and a winner is drawn and that person gets ALL that months fat pages. This month Hilda chose green. As this is my favourite colour I just had to join in and I won. I did feel very guilty about this as I've only entered 2 or 3 all year, but I'm assured it was all done fair and square. So I decided to make my winnings into a green BIA book.

I know a few people who have been lucky and got a BIA for Christmas. Just as a guide re the wires, there are 20 pages in this book, about 6 of them are mountboard and the rest thick card and I used a 1" wire to bind them.

How fantastic is this. The photo really doesn't do it justice. There is just so much work that has been put into this fabulous little book. Top left is the front and back and all the fab ribbons. Top right is the book stood up and you can see how many pages there are. The other 4 photos are examples of some of the lovely pages - Thank you so much Hilda xxxxxx
