Work In Progress..."MY Happy For No Reason Book"

While Jerry works on a vendor's cart in the front yard-


(which was a little side job when his friend, Hawkins, and he were taking apart the Land Rover you see in the bottom right corner of the above picture)...

And Sophia was busy playing with the little jewelry box of stuff I put together for her when I was indulging my jewelry fetish last week...


And between this and that and the other...




I've been working on a new book...






which I've named



My Happy For No Reason Book. 


 

It's no where near finished yet... 




But I needed a break from the playroom



and wanted to see what the book was looking like from a different perspective...



i.e...the computer screen.







What do you think?

    This is fabulous Bohemianni, I love it so expressive. And the name of it - why on earth not? I cannot think of a better reason for a book. Thanks for stopping by my blog, I'll be lurking around yours a lot now I've discovered it :) Jenny

    Thanks Jenny! I have to admit that the name was taken from a really great book written by Marci Shimoff. The title of her book is Happy For No Reason so mine is slightly altered...and as of yet has no words. :) So I don't think she'll mind. :) So happy we 'met'.

    I love the title - happiness does hit you our of nowhere sometimes and why does there have to be a reason?? Great colours and textures of the various pages! The photo of Sophia gazing into the box took me back to when I was a nipper forever 'playing' with my mum's jewellery - nothing much changed then. I'm still a sucker for 'bright and sparkly' !!

    You book is beautiful. You've put together some fantastic colors, fabrics and trims. And you've given me some ideas of what to do with the yards of trim I've accumulated over the years. Thanks.

    Thank you Elizabeth!! I Just joined WOYWW last week myself and totally love browsing through the blog sites. The picture is of my grand-daughter, Sophia, who has since asked me if we could paint her jewelry box pink...to which I answered..."Of Course we can"...and did! If I haven't been there yet, I'll see your blog now. :)
