Description:	An ornamental gift, made with real books saved from the recycling, in the form of an old book, left open at a much loved page, hand painted and decorated. A gift of poetry and images, unique often sentimental designs, with messages that cheer the heart and warm the soul. Our gift books can recapture a precious memory, or commemorate one of life’s special moments. They can be personalized or fully customized by using your own poetry and images and small items of memorabilia.
Crafty Tips:	Giving paper an aged appearance can be achieved by the application of used tea bags, wet the tea bags and then dab them over the paper. Wrinkle the paper up, screw it up, (carefully though) then stretch it back and let it dry. If it is too wrinkled and you wish it to pass through a printer you can iron it a little between sheets if damp paper or inside a folded pillow case. I have used this method fairly often and it works wonderfully.Don't dip it in the cold tea mixture just dab one side only with a tea bag ( put the tea bag in hot water) and keep layering until you get the look you want. To add age spots used coffee grounds can be dabbed on randomly left to dry then brushed away.
