Thanks so much, Barbara!
I just love the Rosie Recycle book. It’s an incredible amount of hard work to do it, but it brings me so much joy, and I hope that it will bring other people joy, too!

there’s the designing, and the writing of the patterns, and the editing of the patterns, and the re-editing and re-writing, and the photographing of the projects, and the editing of the photos (and the learning of the new software, oh my!) and then there’s the learning of the new software for publishing, and the layout and design of the pages, and the re-layout as the first three attempts don’t work… oops…, and then there’s the printing…. ah, the printing…. as the printer turns out to be the world’s biggest temperamental prima donna (ack, running screaming and sobbing from the room), and then, discovering that the second side has to be oriented, oh just so…. NOT upside down, (wailie wailie wailie start all over again), and then, oh my, the printer is out of ink, and oh mercy, I never knew that laser printers smell soooooooooooooooooooooooo bad, so let’s work out a way of ventilating the studio- never mind that it is -20 outside, YES the windows have to be open!…. and then…. there is the absolute bliss of placing the piles of properly printed pages and walking in circles, picking them up, stapling and folding and fondling them….. WHEEEEEEEEEE!
my littlte book is DONE DONE DONE….. oh yes…. now I have to get it out into the world…. oh my….. now that’s another story…..
