KC Willis Altered Book.....FINISHED!!

I went to KC WIllis' class about three weeks ago and started this altered book. Many in the class finished but my friend Jan and I were left in the dust! SO, after getting home from California and being around all those creative women, I decided to come home and finish this book. My theme was cowgirl girlfriends. It was hard to find photos of groups of cowgirls!

These photos are terrible! I used iron on sheets which are too glossy for my taste but it's what we were using in class so I did too. Any suggestions for iron on sheets that are not glossy?

I used different friendship poems, some that I wrote. I got a little carried away with all the fabrics but it was hard to stop adding. I just couldn't decide what photos to use so I used them all.

I found one of those old crosses they use to give us in the Methodist Church! I thought I would go ahead and use it, I keep saving too many things that I never use.

The poem on this page was mine:
"When others watched my hand shake, you held it.
When I feel like I'm walking through sand, you smooth it.
When I cry at moments of no sence, you console me.
When I lose my way, you drive me.
When my body took a different path, you paved it.
When I gave you my friendship, you held it."

This was another one I wrote:
"There are days when I feel I have nothing left,
Like it's all been taken by an ill mannered guest.
I find myself looking to see through the forest and the trees,
to see who is left standing beside me.
I see you there like an oak with roots to the core,
offering your branches, helping me soar.
Sometimes when my soul feels like a ghost,
you offer your hand when I need you most.
So I tell you this between us two,
my life has been made better by meeting you."

"I hope to be friends forever, you and me.
Because you want to be around me no matter what you see.
A true friend hold you in their heart, like a wounded dove
protecting you, wings folded and giving fate a shove.
When I get down I know you're there, if only in my thoughts,
I feel your strength to move ahead, sad days I have fought.
I see you as a beacon of smiles, comfort and always laughter,
I love you today, I love you tomorrow and into the ever after."

Can you believe how thick it is?! I love it! Thanks for letting me share. xoxox-cindy
