In LOVE!

 So I mentioned that I'm getting married.  In less than two months.  

I've been scouring the internet for "bookish" themes and ideas for months now.  Based on this blog, you know, I'm a reader.  

I've researched book folding and spraying edges.  I've gotten tons of ideas, and to be honest, I dont know if any of them are going to work.  But I'm going to continue to look and try.

One of the ideas I've come across and loved is book folding in different patterns.  

Amazon sells books called Art Folds.  They come in various different patterns, but they're so so so cute.  I want to do them all.  Here's the link to the one that most suits our wedding plans.... https://amzn.to/3U2t3Em




I didn't do this pattern for the wedding, but I want it for my home office asap.  https://amzn.to/43Xunws
It gives me Treasure Island vibes, which is what the book is.  Read it as you fold.  It's a genius idea and I wish I had come up with it.  

Meanwhile, I've also looked on Etsy for patterns and such.  I've gotten a heart, Mr&Mrs, and a bride/groom pattern.  They've come out so cute.  

Like I mean COME ON.  I added the veil but COME ON.  It took me a few hours of marking the pages with the measurements and then about an hour to do the folding and cuts.  I used Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix for it.  One, because it's one of my favorite series, and two, it had around the right number of pages I needed.

I encourage all readers and lovers of books to try book folding.  Run to amazon and get the books.  They're super easy and self explanatory as well as perfect starters for the more intricate stuffs.
