CABINET OF FAVORITES or HANDY TRAVEL PORTFOLIO

First of all, we want to thank Lynn Marsh for teaching our May workshop.  The Pocket Pages book should come in very handy to hold small items, especially while traveling.  Here are photos of Michele Kamprath's book.

Here you can see the book's pockets.


This photo shows the pages of the book, including
some that were tipped in.



Dena Bliss will be our instructor for the June workshop. The book we'll be making, a Cabinet of Favorites or Handy Travel Portfolio, would also be a good book to take on a trip as it has pockets and spaces for a notebook, etc..
