Thanks to Shimelle I completed the wonderful I Have Something to Confess project this weekend. I am so excited to have finished this project. I am about to have my celebratory cup of tea, but I thought that I would share my project first.

I decided to paint watercolor paper for my pages. I really like the way they all turned out. It let me be a bit more flexible with the colors I used. This is the cover of my book and my front page.

My first confession is that I love a good story. My only problem is that sometimes I like it so much that I rush to finish the story… so I know what happens… then I have to read it again to what what I missed.

My next confessions is that I adore Ms. Audrey Hepburn. My love affair began when I first saw Breakfast at Tiffany’ … ahh- the mean reds and darling fred

I read horoscopes… not only do I read them, but sometimes I even pay attention to their advice. It amuses me…

Another guilty pleasure is my addiction to looking at Vogue magazine. I say looking at because I really don’t read much … I don’t buy it for the articles… I buy it for the eye candy…

This confession makes me feel a bit silly… but I still harbour dreams of being a ballerina. I know it won’t happen, but when I see ballet I secretly dream of being up there on the stage. There is something magic about the ballet to me… it is so beautiful…

I confess- I do have an addiction to shoes. All shoes really… there is simply no such thing as enough. If I had unlimited funds I think that my shoe collection would be quite ridiculous… not that it isn’t now… but…

I save everything… even after clearing through massive amounts of stuff for our move I still have quite a lot. Postcards of all sorts, love letters from the 7th grade, doodles from friends… all sorts of things. The above postcard is one of those things. I think I have had that one for about… 15 years…

My final confession is that sometimes I dream of going to art school… I don’t know what for particularly, but I think it would be quite lovely. I took the above photos at the Savannah College of Art and Design… also many years ago in a workshop that I got to take at that school.

What fun- I really enjoyed making this book. When I first started I was not sure what I wanted to confess, but once I got started I just kept thinking of things… Thank you Shimelle for the gift class- So MUCH fun. Now for my celebratory cup of tea. Yeah 🙂
