The Lord is Good!

My grandmother turns 80 tomorrow and so I made this for her:





In the interest of time, I purchased a pre-made, unfinished chipboard book from the craft store. I've done some altered books in the past, using old children's board books. That involves sanding and gessoing, and I didn't have time for all of that messing around, so I went the chipboard route. I love the different shaped edges and how each page is a bit bigger than the previous. I think it turned out swell.

    I LOVE this little book with the Bible verse for your grandmother. You are so very talented and I LOVE your eye for color.
