My pal Angela gave me the cutest accordion book, about 4″ x 4″. She had added lots of cute friendship things to it, but I just didn’t know what else to add…so I altered it. I saved lots of the things she included, but it’s a fun and daunting task at the same time-there are 40 pages to fill! It’s good to print out favorite pictures you like and want to look at a bunch. I have one tip, don’t use anything but a glue stick or tacky glue. A glue gun leaves the page lumpy.
One of the covers: new background, photo corners and butterfly and rider print. Kept flower and jewel.
My Mom mom as a girl graces one page:
I had to have a cross stitch page with real aida cloth.
I worked on this during those dog days when it was so hot. I hope Ang likes it as much as I do and you aren’t even seeing half of it. See a few more pages here plus a few more items I made in the last few years.
Thank for the comments. I didn’t actually make the book itself, but I did find a tutorial as I want to try making more.

It’s adorable! You should post a tutorial on how to make one!
Hi Dianne, what a fabulous, fabulous book you’ve got there. I agree with Barbara that you should give a tutorial!
I love your new lay-out by the way. Well, it’s not exactly new, is it :o) I’m spending so much time away from the computer, trying to make the best of a very wet and cold summer with a very busy little out-doorsy boy. Love all the pictures of the flowers in your gorgeous garden!
That is so gorgeous Dianne!! I’ve heard of altered books but had never actually seen one…you just cover pages of a book with whatever you want? Just beautiful! xox
