Oh what a sight to behold - beautiful! Good thing you had "snacks" to make it through. Yes, those binding machines never quite hold what they say. Works of art!

Wow, you guys are totally amazing! I am overwhelmed by the pictures and what you have accomplished. Really, this what such an enormous task and you've done it brilliantly - it should have been covered by a magazine!! :)

Karla that was a huge task you took on! I am so sorry that I was not up to participating in it. I will keep watch for when you do something like this again (if you ever do!) and sign up. You deserved all those gifts that you received.

WOW... oh wait..."oh my"!! I cannot imagine how you kept all of the pages and covers and tags straight?! I would have been overwhelmed by the enormity of it all. It all looks beautiful, I can't wait to see mine when it comes. As I said before, this was my first swap and I really didn't know what to do. My first attempt was so meager, then when I saw some of the pictures you had posted of some of the recipes coming in, I knew I had to go back and rethink it! I had alot of fun doing it. Can't wait for another opportunity! Thank you to both you and Beth for all of your hardwork and time putting it together.

Kristina

Thank you for posting so many beautiful pictures of the books. I really appreciate all of your hard work on this. This was my first swap and I am so excited to see the finished product. The swap gave me an opportunity to try new things and I know that I will learn so much more when I see everyone else's pages too. A perfect winter treat!!!

Karen Young

sandra @7th St. Studio

I don't know how you all did it, but those books are incredible...if one of the magazines wanted something really neat to feature...this would be it! Each one is so lovely and as you flip through it made me excited to see what each person had done...now I know why you were filled with such creative energy even though you were sick!!! It was all that creativity that you saw as you put those together!! Simply amazing!!! Standing ovation for you and Beth, and Jen too!!!

Raised In Cotton

How simply beautiful Karla, you and Beth should have a ton more gifts delivered to you for your creative work on our behalf.
What a great idea with the ribbon binding, perfect touch and meant to be.
Hugs,

Yeah for you! Congrats on completing your noble and beautiful project. I can hardly wait to get my copy! I am a chronic under-estimator of how long a task will take. I think that maybe "ignorance is bliss" in this case, because I would never attempt some projects if I knew in advance how long they would take! Always happy in the end though. 42 is a great slew of projects to do! Thanks again for all your hard work! - Amy Bauer

Lisa

These are beautiful! I would have loved to have been a part of the swap, wish I knew about it. Are these swaps done through your blog or someplace else. I enjoy doing swaps through swapbot. Let me know when you do another one. :-)

Deborah

What a set up you have...no wonder your creations are so beautiful!

Carrie

Oh wow! Such beautiful (and functional) work! I'm sure all the participants are extremely grateful for your efforts in putting the books together.
