Reading Update
Make Your Own Ideabook with Arne & Carlos: Create Handmade Art Journals and Bound Keepsakes to Store Inspiration and Memories by Arne Nerjordet & Carlos Zachrison. If you’re looking for a completely different take on art journals… Arne and Carlos make their own journals (involving a sewing machine) and collage pretty much everything into them.
The Complete Book of Bookbinding by Josep Cambras. Good indepth information on binding and repairing books, with an emphasis on using leather. Very traditional book structures.
Spell Blind (Justis Fearsson #1) by David B Coe. Good urban fantasy about a former cop turned PI whose magical abilities come with a price – a price that cost him his job as a cop.

Chaos gets a little wild-eyed in the hour(s) before his dinner…
The Balenciaga bag reminds me that while on my recent cruise, there was an Italian woman with this ridiculous French Fry phone case from Moschino, an Italian luxury fashion house. Looked like she got it in a Happy Meal.

If I get a red star trek bathing suit will I drown?
Chris- I didn’t try the Unicorn Frappaccino- it looked like Bozo Barf from the get-go.
He’s right about Snow Crash. I listened to it maybe ten years ago and still haven’t forgotten it. Need to re-listen. The Frank Lloyd Wright house looks unbelievably cold — is there any insulation in those brick walls?
Oh, I’ve seen that feedmefeedmefeedme look in Suzy’s eyes, too. Usually about an hour before my alarm is set to go off.
Thanks again for the link to my giveaway! 🙂
I couldn’t bring myself to order the Unicorn Frap. It looks gross. (But have you seen the Harry Potter connection to it? Priceless. https://goo.gl/s8doju)

I’ve got that Arne and Carlo’s Idea Book – in fact, I have two! I got some good ideas out of it and now I’m contemplating some book making. If you want my extra copy, let me know.
