A little while ago I painted a picture as a gift for a friend's new baby. For just that extra touch I created a little book with a simple story about the picture for her mum to read to her when she is a little older.
Sadly I forgot to take a photo of the painting or the book before wrapping them up and sending them, and didn't keep the images on file. But today I was tidying a little and found a packet with printouts of the draft copies of each page - rather small and not as crisp as I would like because the printer was not as good as our new one.
I decided I wanted to share them for Manon's
Paper Saturdays - so you can see the pages of the book before it was made up.
Just a few pages - here they are:
