Throwback Thursday - Little Book of Dreams

 In honor of Earth Day tomorrow, a recycled post from April 5, 2008.


In trying to reduce clutter, I came across a stack of loser lottery tickets. I thought they would make good pages for a small book. I cut up a brown, Outback  Restaurant, doggy bag because I liked the pattern to make the cover. On each lottery ticket I wrote things like college education, mortgage, car loans, vacation, retirement, etc. The pages were Japanese stab bound using a scrap of leather lacing. Walnut ink, crow quill, Brause 1mm, Ziller Glossy Black


How very green of me to recycle. How's that for procrastination? Me thinks the emperor is naked.

    What a fun idea. They say most lottery winners are soon bankrupt, but I could prove them wrong ;) I'd hafta buy a ticket, though lol

    Ok - you are so creative. Who would think to do that. And all the time you are setting yourself up for a big win. Look at the focus it took to do that,, ..and to label the lottery winnings for what you would use it for. I have a feeling you are going to win really soon - even if it is just 10 dollars. Ride on!!

      Something had come up recently about good luck. Himself said to me, you don't really think Luck of the Irish means good luck, do you? 🤣

      Yes, the story "The Emperor's New Clothes" Sometimes people have a very lofty opinion of themselves or their art or in my case how clever I think I've been. So whenever I hear these things, I always think "The Emperor is Naked" 😸
