Page from Cobi

Cobi I'd almost given up on on your page but I'm happy to report it arrived on the weekend.

Now onto completing my book.

My Story of the Traveling Pages

Today I finished my story of the traveling Pages. The cover is made with felted wool. Inside I used a night sky. I think that looks good for a fairy tail book.

I am not 100% happy how I made the book pages together. But for my first book it is okay.

Here it is:

I am very happy that I could sew and swap with you. Thank you for your pages and for the nice words when you received a page of me. Every time when I now look into my fairytale I will remember the last year. I think it was a quite good one.

Thank you Ruth for the organisation. For all the work you had all the mails you wrote and the lists you made and the organisation of this blog. I had a lot of fun making the pages and showing the photos.

Completed Tree Book

I finished putting my book together! It turned out great and even though it was a bit fiddly putting it together, it worked out well.

You can see more photos and there's a bit of an explanation of how I put it together on my blog. How is everyone else coming along with book construction? I decided not to wait any longer for missing pages. I guess I can always add them later if I so choose.

Book Construction and Missing Pages

I just wrote a post on my blog about how I am constructing my book, if you want to take a look. I also thought that I would let everyone know that I have not heard a word from either Carmen or Debi. I think that at this point, that you should not count on getting any missing pages from them. I have sent several e-mails, posted here and on Stitchin' Fingers. If they were going to respond, I think we would have heard from them by now. My suggestion is to go ahead with the pages you have and begin book construction. Please do post a photo of your process, I'm sure everyone would like to see how others are doing their books.

Book cover

Hi, I have made covers for my book which will allow extra pages to be added. I made separate front and back covers, sewed loops on all the pages and holes in the covers then tied all together with machined cord.

Carmen and Debi???

Carmen and Debi - I have sent you e-mails about your missing pages and haven't heard back from either of you. Would you please let us know whether or not you have intentions of completing the missing pages? It is only fair that you let everyone know since they sent you pages in good faith. Please, I would appreciate a reply.

Missing Pages

We are drawing to a close on our swap. I have had numerous e-mails about missing pages so I thought the most simple method would be to list which pages are missing. Some of these pages may have arrived but have not been noted on the blog, some may have been lost in the mail and some may not have been sent yet. I would appreciate it if everyone would review the list and let me know either in the comments or by e-mail the status of the pages.

If I have missed any of your pages that you don't have, please let me know. I will update this list as I hear from people so hopefully, everyone will receive their pages. I have heard from several people that they have e-mailed directly about a missing page but are not getting a response. Please, it is only fair that you let people know when to expect their page. If you aren't going to complete the pages, we would appreciate knowing that as well.

Perhaps this post seems a little harsh and I'm sorry to have to post this list. Hopefully, everyone will follow through on their obligations. Thanks to everyone that completed their pages. I really appreciate it!
