Chapbook Journey: Some stuffs on bookbinding

I'm starting a new entry list called

  Chapbook Journey

Since I'm a fan of poetry and I do write some 

(I'm such a newbie please support me)

and I actually LOVE doing it, 

and after some time and I think I'm ready

(might be) and after some research, study, and thoughts, 

and that perfect timing, the art block and etc

I want to make some.

I do,

And I really want to.

Start small and keep doing it

and just fall in love with yourself.

SO

I discovered some good techniques that can be used to make our own books!

I'm a huge fan of cute books!

and a fan of making them by own hands too!

Obviously I go for tutorial that use things that are easy to find.  From where I live it's hard to get the so many craft tools and even if we do have them, it'll cost an arm an a leg DX.  My favourite out of these will be the first one, I even search for Mod Podge and I found it!

Also I've  bind books before, normal stacks folded thin papers, stapled, then I used to make accordion mini album; hard cover bound *smirk* (now where did I put them???) and I really enjoy making them.  It has been a long time since I last made some.

Project: Not mail

So, I'm inspired by the post made by Adina.  What a lovely post and I super like it!  My chinggu's birthday was on the last 28th Dec & when I am finally be meeting her, I can give her a card I made for her.  Well, technically I just transform it.  I printed out some photos of SNSD girls and paste it in the card with a little note in it which I took it from some site.  I hope you like this and this is not perfect but ehh.  This project helps me brushes off the dust a bit.  Or something.  Idk.

The envelope

2nd parcel

Hang out with Sarah & Syaid today~

Oh yeah..

Just got back from post office.  Ya it was night, it was my first time inside the work room of the post office & I like it.  It was just how we always seen in television or at least felt that way.  Again I kinda gave a lot of thought what this parcel could be, I ordered a few things in a short of time.  It might be the scrap papers from US but when I held this big square parcel and shook it, I can feel something much smaller was moving and I guessed that it could be the dies I ordered from mimichintz 

So this is a second parcel in this week!

Haha cool.  

Unboxing!
