Category: The Friday Frenzy
When reading a book is just not enough! You know, when you wish you could walk INTO a book and keep the story going. The Friday Frenzy is just that…With curated collages and links inspired by the books themselves, these posts are a fun way to incorporate a little bit of your favorite tale into your everyday life. Let the stories Begin… *The platform I began the Friday Frenzy collages on closed shop and deleted all my work, yikes! I was able to at least save a photo of each collage, so if my earlier work seems a little ‘off’ that is why. I’m happy to say that I’m back up and running with the collages, and as always, the Pinterest Boards are also available, links are in each post!* Thanks for stopping by!
