(The wonderful and awesome and pretty and stylish and talented :) Amy asked me to make her a pair of books with her doggie's on them and I gladly obliged. I present: Buster and Bamboo books!

Both Rachel and Joey came down into the stairwell to keep me company while I took pictures of the books. Actually I think they just wanted to be IN the pictures...

    I love the pic with the cat's butt in the background and the dog's nose sniffing the book.

    These are awesome! These will really add a lot of color to a shelf, even being closed, with their pretty bindings!
