Meander book

Hello there!  I have a really cute little mini book to share today.  I'm also the hostess on the SBC blog.  I found the base for this super cute Meander book on utube of course :-)  It was very easy to make.  I used a 12x12 sheet of white cardstock for the base.  So, this book is only 3x3" square.  There is a pocket on each page-either at the top or on the side.  Cool, huh?!! So stinkin' cute!  Anyway, when I make my next one I'll probably use double sided paper so it's just easier to decorate.  But, I love how it turned out :-)  Okay, let's meander through my book....LOL.  Lots of pictures!!!
