I really love those yearbooks, and how you used them in your mail art. I don't think I've ever seen yearbooks at our library sales, but I am going to keep my eyes peeled. If you ever want to do a paper/ephemera pack exchange, let me know. I have some good stuff I could send to you, and I KNOW you've got lots of amazing things on your end!Andriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15504062428517837765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4179696067342818298.post-59037563473544473592014-10-05T15:48:56.501-07:002014-10-05T15:48:56.501-07:00Hi Indigo -- you have most likely read that school...Hi Indigo -- you have most likely read that school are discontinuing teaching cursive writing -- oh the horror!

Then I usually tear out ALL the pages and sort them into piles -- for ME, for a specific pal, etc This time I sorted piles for the give-away but I also sorted out pages that i thought specific pals would appreciate. If the covers are cool, I save the covers for artist books.And I usually save leftover pages for using in gelli printing.....very little actually gets tossed into the re-cycling. Hope that answers your question.

Or do you have a different way of deciding what stays and what goes (into recycling?) I keep bringing books home and then not tearing them up and i know that I will probably only use a portion of the book pages. And now I have piles of books!BritChickNYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03745494944679451138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4179696067342818298.post-68388126789579637892014-10-02T15:43:43.839-07:002014-10-02T15:43:43.839-07:00Goodness!
