scrap books day 2

We continued on with our book making today. The kids sewed their spines together, which took a lot of concentration and attention to detail (yours truly almost lost her mind, and luckily our guest teacher Heidi led us through the day with great patience and wisdom). I forgot how hard it is to keep the waxed thread straight and had one too many knots to undo. At one point I had to say that the next person who talked would have to untie Carina's knot, but the kids knew I was bluffing and they just kept talking. Alas. We completed the hardest part and everyone is still with us.

The books are going to be beautiful. Some of the kids have already brought in scrap folders full of photos, letters, and nice pictures of guinea pigs, horses and cats to scrap in when we actually have the books completed. Next week we will start on the covers. This project is a scrappy, month long endeavor I believe.
