I know this sounds odd, but I just can't bring myself to cut up the pages of old books, even though I know the images are perfect for mail art. The other day I bought some old sheet music at an antique store and I couldn't bear to mess it up. So I just bought a piece of patterned paper that looked like old sheet music at Michael's and cut that up instead!
