So here is the book, 2nd choice I might add, that I am going to be sending round for the I.C.E. Altered book RR.
It measures 5 x 6 1/2 so is not too big, I think it is a great size.
Whoever works in it will have the option of inserting an image where the photo was removed and then decorating the borders, or they could use card stock to cover the hole and take it from there, I think it will be exciting to see what results ensue.
I love this book, this is the album that held the vintage images that I have been sharing on this blog; I love the leather cover and the clasp closure. The photos date from 1880's so it truly is old.
Hope the girls in the RR enjoy working in this old album and giving it a new lease of life....

This is neat, Dawn. A gorgeous book. Is RR a "round robin"? How nice this book will get to live on!
Hi Dawn,
May I know where you purchased this book.
It's so fabulous.
Hi Dawn, I love the book to be altered. I just went through a book like this as well and am pulling out all the old photos and tin types to preserve them better on another paper. I've been doing a lot of family research lately and saw how quickly the pages had aged the photos and decided it was time to place them onto another media.
Thank you for the thoughtful words on my poem. I write a lot of poetry...one word can send me to find a thick ink pen and my banana skin book to write a poem...tonight the word is tempestuous. I'll write something about the word before I head to bed for the night.
I just finished posting my art dolls to the etsy site. I am glad to have some new things posted and glad it's a doll. I love making them.
Thank you for visiting my Angelina's Trinkets...I'd better get on over to Paperwhimsy and see what's going on.
I hope you are feeling much better,
Angelina
