Childhood Books

I became an avid reader at the age of seven, I really didn't have a choice, I was very ill in hospital and not allowed to roll over, sit up and getting out of bed was a thing to dream about in the coming months. So, I learnt to engross myself in the books.  Some lovely ladies would bring around books to the children's ward for us to read and keep.  Obviously a charity to which people donated books.  They were a highlight of my stay as were the young policemen that would throw a party for the children in the hospital after their passing our parade.

This image is called "Little Pupil" and is by the talented Julia Spiri.  If you would like to receive an image please join her facebook page and become a VIP, Julia sends out an image a month.

I hove coloured the image with copic pens and fussy cut.  Before printing, I added some of my favourite childhood book titles.

I have added some patterned paper from Stampin-up which is covered in words.  Wooden letters make up the word Notes and three little candies in the corner and pearls down the side complete the notebook cover.
