The front of this is terribly plain. I thought about drawing on it but I have my book making cover material so I decided to just cover it.
Wallpaper is what I use to cover books I make and just about most other stuff. I just love string wallpaper so this is what I chose to cover it. It has such nice texture, it feels good to hold it.
The inside has a contrasting leopard print. Something like I might see out in the wilds of Ohio or Michigan while birding. tee hee... The opening page is our route that we will take, sort of. 
I have a blooming post I will put up for tomorrow but until next week. I will see you later. Have a great week. I will be able to follow along since I am taking my computer but time will be precious since we have tons of places to go and people to see.

What a cool idea to cover something with. do you wet it or just put it on dry? Have a great trip.
Hi Lisa, an exciting post about your book for the trip. I hope you see many birds that are new to your list. And can sketch them. Maybe some flowers too? Happy belated mother's day.
