Altered Book: No Cure for Curiosity
Tue, April 7, 2009 at 05:00AM "The cure for boredom is curiosity.
There is no cure for curiosity."
~ Ellen Parr
In my goal to finish some unfinished pages in my altered books and catalogs, I went back to this collaged page, added bubble wrap stamping, images, neocolors and a stamped quote. Voila! Another page finished. I started collecting quotes from "Quotable Quotes" in Readers Digest magazine as a kid... I love books of quotes, noting quotes from books I'm reading, and finding intriguing quotes from the web. Do you love words? In Diving into Word Pools, Shell created poetry from 20 randomly selected words. Such a fun creative prompt! It reminds me of the Idea Prompts game my kids and I play with friends.

A great quote-and so true- and a very visually-refreshing journal spread!

just found your blog, through flickr, love it so far!
Glad you enjoyed the word pools. I'm going to be posting some more poetry from the same word pool I used.
Just found your blog as well - I immediately tagged it as an 'everydays', my way to remember the sites I love to visit everyday! (profound organization, i know ;))
I love quotes! In fact, reading quotes is usually what turns me on to different authors...it's like a trailer for movies but instead its a preview of the authors thoughts. :)
