See that, see that?

September 27, 2011 By Marit 15 Comments

See that clock in the side menu?
See it counting down?

Aaah…. I know how to keep you in suspense, don’t I?

What am I so anxiously expecting on October 2?
And what’s with that time: 10.50 am?

Well, for one thing…. Sunday is my birthday!
I was born on 10.50 am exactly.

But there is more…

… as you know the last couple of weeks (Months) I worked
on something ‘big’. The time has finally come to reveal it…
and what could be better then revealing it on my birthday?
I might even throw in a give-away, to celebrate.

I hope you all count down with me…

On to the art journal page I made about last week.

The Chronicles of Marit 2011 – Week 38

Teeeeeheeeheee…

Yes, there’s a lot of journaling on the page.
You can not read, or even see one letter of it,
for obvious reasons.
(uhhuh – counting down)

“Do you have something to share that isn’t a secret”
you ask? Oh yes, there’s something I indeed LOVE
to share with you!

Seth hosted an online ‘stack’ project last week (see
this blogpost
) and he really started something. I
hopped to several blogs on the ‘stack list’ and that’s
how I ‘met’ Alicia from Altered bits. This lady got
triggered by the stack project, and came up with
another idea…

She puts it like this: “I have stacks on the brain as
of late and this could be a HUGE stack…  introducing:
the tallest handmade book in the world {project}.”

Alicia calls all artists to make pages for the book
that she wants to bind into the tallest handmade book!

I already signed up and I hope you also will hop over to Alicia to find out all
about the project and agree to make a page or two… the tallest handmade book
in the world: you know you want to be in it! Read about it here on Altered Bits.

Back to the clock counting down… besides my birthday and the ‘big reveal’,
it also marks the last day of registration for these workshops…

    A great idea to use pockets for each day. Wonderful. I am going to have to put your birthday in my personal calendar. It comes around and surprises me each year.

    Hi Marit! Leuk dat je je even meldt op mijn blog πŸ™‚ (ik plaatste deze reactie ook al daar, maar realiseerde me dat je het dan misschien niet ziet) Dankje voor het compliment! Ik ben zelf ook zo’n bloglezer die nauwelijks commentaar geeft, maar houd wel alle updates in de gaten. Zit met smart te wachten op je grote nieuws dus!
