PAPER BAG BOOKS at Artistic Souls
The project at our circle of friends, Artistic Souls, was to make a paper bag book -- that's right a book made from paper sacks. Whenever I bring home a creative project hubby always asks, "What do you do with that?!!" Many projects are created for the artistic beauty and satisfaction of making them by hand. WELL . . . this time I actually created a project that is usable -- A COUPON BOOK. I like to clip coupons for the craft stores and grocery store items. Now I have a perfect little book to put in my shopping cart and will actually have the coupons with me when I shop and not sitting at home in a drawer.
