I am the first to admit that I keep the amount of personal information on this blog fairly minimal. I started it out as strictly a crafting blog, but I have come to realise that doesn't mean you can't or shouldn't talk about your life and the folks and events that make it special. Some of the blogs I love to read the most have perfected the balance between crafting fun and personal stories - I have been moved to tears by stories I have read, equally moved with joy by other stories, and of course endlessly inspired by the creativity out there. Now I have been writing here for over a year I think I feel comfortable to relax a bit and talk more about me (hey, I'm a Cancarian, tough outer shell and all that...)
I have finished my book art project and seeing as I selected book titles that were relevant to our lives and/or meant something to me I thought I would share them with you. Maybe you like some of these too! So without further ado, here are the titles that are contained in the first frame.
- Sailing - my husband loves to sail, and he nearly sailed out of my life not long after I met him, lucky he came back.
- The Catcher in the Rye - one of my husbands favourite books
- Modern Architecture - one of us is an architect
- Our Man in Havana - I love spy novels, and we would love to travel to Cuba one day (obviously not as spies though)
- Creativity in Industry - I love the cover art of the squiggly smoke stacks
- The Penguin Knitting Book - in homage to my crafty ways
- The Big Sleep - we both love Raymond Chandler novels, and I am a champion sleeper
- New Biology - one of us is a biologist/science teacher
- The Body in the Library - you can't go past a good Agatha Christie mystery
- Tender is the Night - this book has a nice title, which is why I chose it, but I think the novel itself by F. Scott Fitzgerald is fairly bleak.
- Thinking to Some Purpose - way too much thinking is done around this house, sometimes I wish I could turn my brain down a notch
- As You Like It - a good old Shakespeare play - we are lucky to have a life pretty much "as we like it"

Great job. It's a great piece by itself, but even better with the hidden meaning!
