My Aunt Jenny gave me a magazine subscription for my birthday - the magazine is called Cloth, Paper, Scissors.  There are a lot of really good ideas in it, but in the March issue, there was an art project that was particularly interesting to me.  It showed how to make books out of cardboard cereal boxes, or pretty much anything.  They are just single-signature books with no actual spine, and they sort of remind me of the knapsack binding we learned in class.  I made one out of a saltine cracker box, and it turned out pretty good.  My sister Ann came home from school and loved it so much I let her have it.  Now I am making one from the back of a Lucky Charms box that has cars on it for my brother's birthday on Sunday, and I hope to make a few more and learn how to make them quickly.  Others I have in the making: a Cheerios book and a Girl Scout lemon cookie box book.  I love how fast they can come together!
