MY BIG PROJECT - 275 Altered Notebooks

Most of my fellow EtsyPaper Team members know that I have been somewhat MIA from the team recently because I have been super busy with a very large project. I am happy to report that I have completed the project and my customer is very happy with the results. She is even looking to have me do it again in the near future. So, what was the BIG project? I received a convo asking me if I would be interested (or even be
able to) cover 275 mini-composition books for a Wizard of Oz Knitting club. I accepted, they provided the paper and we were on the way to getting them done. I took some photos along the way ..........



I received a huge (and quite heavy) stack of paper from my customer. I immediately covered one of the notebooks to check the paper and layout.

One Hundred down...........One Hundred Seventy Five to go.............

All done! Here is a group of them.......

They ended up shipping in three Flat Rate boxes. The first box weighed 13lbs., the second box weighed 11lbs. and the "spill over" box weighed 7lbs.! That's a total weight of 31lbs. , and that is A TON of paper,lol. I am looking forward to doing another large project like this. I think the key is to prepare everything first (gather all materials, pre-cut paper,etc.) and then to divide the project up into sections. Work on it some each day. I laughed and said I would probably never want to see another notebook when I was done, however, dividing the project up over the time I had to complete it, kept me from becoming bored with it. I will gladly do it again!
