Here's what my kitchen is looking like at the moment, as I count down the last 48 hours of the Sketchbook Project (books are to be postmarked January 15th):

And here's what happens when the kittens try to help!
As you can see, it's hard to use the paper cutter when there's a cat lying on top of it!
Everything was going smoothly until I realized the finished book was going to be too big for the required size of 5 x 7 inches. Luckily, we're allowed a 1 inch spine, so instead of one signature, I'll need to do two and add a 3/4 inch spine. Which wouldn't be a big deal except that now I just need to take a few pages apart as several of my spreads are a double page, which kind of throws things off now that I need to bind the book a different way. No worries, bookbinding skills learned from such masters as
Diana Trout, Tracy Moore and
Mary Ann Moss should get me through this! It's just going to take a little more time than I was expecting. Luckily, it's a very rainy Sunday out there and I had no plans other than to be working on getting my book finished, so it's all good!
