I am Woman! Hear me Rant!!!

Well I decided today would be the day I "butchered" a book for the first time(and possibly the last). Amy has done a tutorial on Non Linear Diaries, which starts with "butchering " a book to use it's skin......can you tell I have a problem with this practice??
Yep, hubby has to drag me away from places with old books in, I consider them to be long lost treasure, but I was determined to give this project a try, so of I toddled off to the local charity shop, hoping to find a readers digest book(They don't count as real books)....
and came out with these 3, none of which are RD books... Now 1 I consider to be a real treasure... there are words in here that my kids will never hear spoken...
and it was a gift/prize to someone in 1932!!! So it has been treasured for many years, and will continue to be so under my roof!!
The 2nd is a piece of mass produced pap. I have not shown the title as I am sure the author loves it(even though I think it's pap and therefore a viable candidate for butchery)

The 3rd just winds me up big time!!!! I really hate(yes hate) anything that is labelled "for Women" I know that may seem strange, me being a woman and all, but I find it infuriating that in this world we feel the need to specify gender. Now I for one am sick to death of "women" who feel the need to stand on a pedestal made from the bones of men and declare themselves superior in some way....WE KNOW WE'RE SUPERIOR!!!!

Get over yourself ! Definitely had to rip the skin off this one!!! Though I will be keeping the contents as there may be some useful tip in there.
The pages from the pap will be used for collage and background papers...
Gosh! That was far more enjoyable than I could have imagined!!
You just have to choose the right book :D XXX
