The only thing I had to do was to decide on a theme and then follow the instructions - how difficult could this be ........... (lol) ...... it was VERY difficult!
Circle Book theme: Season Celebrations - title: "To enjoy the flavour of life, take big bites." by Robert Heinlein
Front Cover
The book consists of four pages. It will open up into a circle once the bow has been undone. The ribbons are held in place by staples, ricrac ribbon sits between the pages just peering over the edges. And throughout the book you will find a lot of distressing of the edges of the pages and the embellishments.
Spring: love, new bginnings and life in general
Summer: the joy of summer holidays and travel happiness
Autumn: Halloween, lots of pumpkins and Thanksgiving
Winter: Christmas and Welcome to a New Year
Back Cover
It was a real challenge but I thoroughly enjoyed the process of making the book.Have a nice weekend and stay safe in the wintry weather. Petra.

Love your beautiful book - so much detail inside.
I love this..... fantastic design and so much to look at. Lovely blogs too Petrab... and all those cakes.... yummy!!
With Heinlein, do you mean the SciFi author?
Hallo Sven, Yes, Robert Heinlein is the Sci-Fi author and the quote is actually slightly incomplete. It goes: To enjoy the flavour of love, take big bites. Moderation is for monks. Maybe too many letters to put on a stamp :-) Petra.
Me again, sorry I meant life not love - maybe wishful thinking (lol) Petra.
Thank you for the lovely compliment Petra! This is a truly fabulous book - am so glad you entered the challenge..... now the rest of the 'Soul Sisters and their Backing Singers' (LOL) want this book... shall have to keep them in line I think!!!
