Your book... I danced around it at the bookstore for weeks, just delighted with every page of it, until I finally decided I had to own it. There was one in particular, made of a circle—the simplicity of it blew me away. I think that one folder was responsible for finally deciding to purchase it! You did a great job selecting, and writing just what your readers would need to know in the book. It's a wonderful inspiration. Regards, Kelly Patricia,

My goal was to create a book that was more than pretty pictures. The two chapters at the front aimed at making the fabrication of custom folders and envelopes accessible to any reader. The publisher's goal was that 1/3 of the portfolio be from outside the USA. The project took 18 months in our studio, with three entry calls to collect enough good stuff!

That's why we've got shelves everywhere. I love to have everything in its place. We moved from a much bigger home, where there was room to spread out, and now there's no choice but to go up! Floating shelves sounds very neat. I looked around as I wrote that but nearly every wall is filled, with only a few calm places for the eye to land. That'll have to be for the next place, which I hope will be much bigger again. For now, we're good with the whole cozy thing. It's a change. Regards, Kelly Crystal,

What wouldn't I do for a whole dresser (or changing table, or cart, or whatever) next to the bed?! I love our "bed in the sky", but the loft doesn't hold much more than that. With little space around the bed, we added floating shelves to hold the necessities. No business books by my bed, but my desk? Welllll... Looking forward to your April follow up! :) ~CW Oh mannn, those both sound so cool! What wouldn’t I do for a whole dresser (or changing table, or cart, or whatever) next to the bed?!

Amazingly there's nothing of my daughter's on it, but then you should see her nightstand. Mine's a medical cart, like the kind of thing they wheel in at the hospital with awful instruments on each shelf. Hers is a gorgreous, tricked-out changing table (I know this is hard to imagine but I'm a designer so I couldn't let it alone) with three huge shelves stuffed to the gills. I've been wanting to read The Four Agreements, but... I have a little reading to finish first. : ) BTW in case you think they're all gathering dust: I chuckled as I wrote it, because if I'd written it a month ago there was a whole different bunch of books there and an April followup would be different again. I keep rereading bits of Never Eat Alone, but other than that it's very project-dependent. The tissues stay. Never know when an allergy attack will strike. Regards, Kelly Crystal,

After the 3 rolls of 35 mm film he laughs, "Good grief, does she have a dresser for a nightstand?!" ...and come to find you do :) How cool is that? Okay, here's my cluttered night<i>shelf</i>: Unleash the Warrior Within by Richard Machowicz World Without End by Sean Russell (recently BookMooched) The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz a small ceramic dish of coins from faraway places, with hair ties and earrings tossed in The Heart of the Buddha's Teaching by Thich Nhat Hanh a bamboo-embossed journal I haven't written in since Nov 13 The Bonesetter's Daughter by Amy Tan, (also BookMooched) an ugly-ass clock radio a tube of pepper spray from a friend who worries I'll be trapped alone in the loft with no defense but the hair ties :D Best, Crystal I read your list aloud to hubby.
