{Pinterest Challenge}
My dad hates the internet. He made this declaration while we were making this book iPhone dock.
He asked me where I got the idea and I told him the internet {more specifically Pinterest but he didn't need to know that little detail.} To him, the internet is the place I find all kinds of crazy ideas and then ask for his help in completing the projects. {like this one} I didn't originally intend to involve him in this project but his help was definitely appreciated {as was his drill and knife.}
Like I said, I found this tutorial by Little Lovies on Pinterest. Being an avid book reader, this project was practically screaming my name. I even knew of a great place to get some old books perfect for this - my parent's house. They had a collection of Reader's Digest Condensed Books gathering dust in one of the bedrooms. With my mom's permission, I selected a couple of books {my criteria was mainly color but I also considered the titles a little.}
My dad got roped into helping because I was there getting the books and it just made sense {to me, probably not so much to him.} And his number of drilll bits is significantly larger than mine.
I would say this project was a little more involved than I had anticipated and patience is a definite must. But I am very happy with it.
What do you think?
I am sharing at these parties.
