Showing off Mad Skills

Hwaet! My lovely parents came and visited a couple three weeks ago, and we had a grand time while they were here (well, I did anyways). It was fun and awkward trying to make them feel comfortable in our teeny tiny apartment for the weekend, and I'm just so glad they finally got to make a trip down here.

While they were here, I finished a book I started when me and the husband were up visiting them the week before. My parents are so patient to sit and watch me make a book, and I'm sure I was boring them to death as I told them about the glue I use, etc. They were rewarded though, as they got to go home with the newly finished product (well, I'm not sure what kind of a reward that is). I was quite pleased with the outcome, and I made them let me take pictures before they ran off with it. Granted, they were horribly rushed pictures that turned out to be atrocious, blurry, monstrosities, but they're all I have, so I'm going to post a couple anyways.





 

Anyways, I love the red leather (a big thank you to my parents, again) with the Italian postcards paper. The endpapers look grey to me, but everyone else said they were green. In the pictures they look green. To top it all off, I used some lovely brown and cream end bands. Again, my sincere apologies about the pictures being horrid, I hope they don't turn you off too much. At any rate, I'm not posting it on my Etsy, so they don't have to be absolutely perfect. I'll probably be making another one of these.
