The Secret Life of this Book...

So my friend Buzz had a birthday. And this is what I made...

She gave me this book to use in a project a couple of months ago.



And then recently I was hanging out in her office for a bit and she showed me one of her favorite paintings by Carl Larsson. Buzz told me that this painting looked like a good life to her - reading, cool air, a cat and a dog...



So as much as it killed me to change the life of the book, I created a book box and then recreated the painting inside of it.







This is one of my favorite projects yet!



Happy birthday, Buzz! And thanks to Susan for giving me the idea in a roundabout way!

Hi,

My name is Lara Glew. I've just visited your website and I was wondering if you'd be

interested in exchanging links with my website. I can offer you a home page link back from

my Recycling website which would be (http://www.lara-glew.com) with Page Rank 3.

Your link will be placed here:
http://www.lara-glew.com (It`s a recycling website with PR3)

As mentioned, your link would be placed on the site home page, not on any "links" pages

which may be buried in the site somewhere.

If you are interested please add the following information to your website and kindly let

me know when it´s ready and I will do the same for you in less than 24 hours, otherwise you

can delete my link from your site.

TITLE: SnaffleUp
URL: http://www.snaffleup.co.uk
DESCRIPTION: SnaffleUp The recycling web site designed to keep useful items out of

landfill.

Or you can use the following html code:

I hope you have a nice day and thank you for your time,

Hello :-)

I absolutely love this painting, do you know where can I buy a print?

It reminds me of my teenage summers, sunbathing in the garden and reading with the cat and dog besides me.
