Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to celebrate the 2000th post on this here blog. My first post was on April 9th 2008, over 6.5 years ago. I've blogged nearly every day since then. I love blogging :)

For this special occasion I'm giving away 10 books that I made, that I affectionately call "PaigeBooks"! Each book is unique and beautiful and handmade from scratch by yours truly. It would mean the world to me if all ya'll (whether I know you or not, I promise I don't bite :) would take a gander, pick your top three favorites, and talk to me in a comment on this post for a chance to win one!

Just a wee bit about these books as a whole: They're all coptic bindings so you can see the thread and how they're sewn together on the spine. It's my favorite style of binding, no glue is involved (unless you need it for the cover material), it looks neat, the books lay flat so you can easily write or make art in them, and the cover possibilities are endless because if you can drill holes through it, it can be used as a cover. Most of the pages are made with printer paper, cardstock, and/or scrapbooking papers. Let's begin the show and tell!

1) ANTHRO COASTERS BOOK
Size: 4 x 4"
Unique features: I bought these coasters from Anthropologie specifically to make a book. That was about four years ago. Finally found a good excuse to use them! The white printer paper pages are wrapped with decorative scrapbooking pages that match the colors of the coasters and it's stitched together with lime green floss. I also rounded all the corners of the pages to match the rounded coaster corners.

2) ROUNDED BOOK
Size: 4.75 x 6"
Unique features: The rounded edge makes this book special! I made a rounded book very similar to this for my 1000th post giveaway and thought I'd give it another go this time. The pages are made from an eclectic mix of media - felt, glitter paper, cardstock, vellum, printer paper, etc. This would make a great wedding sign-in book, baby shower book, baby book, journal, art book, smash book, etc.

*********************************************************************************

3) FLORAL FABRIC BOOK
Size: 4 x 6"
Unique features: The covers are made from one of Fox and Jane's old board books that got destroyed but I rescued the nice and thick pages to use for PaigeBooks. I have a bunch of floral fabrics so I chose a couple I liked and wrapped them around the covers. That makes it sound so easy, but really a lot of measuring and glue is involved! I used two colors of baker's twine to sew - pink for the first half and blue for the second half. Note to self: Don't put the binding holes closer than 3/4" apart. It was super hard to sew this binding, I nearly lost my religion haha. Just kidding. But it was definitely the hardest book to make. Good thing it's pretty :) The pages are made entirely of printer paper so the possibilities for book uses are endless.

*********************************************************************************

4) WOOD WITH "OPEN" KNOB BOOK
Size: 5 x 7"
Unique features: The covers are made from my favorite material: wood. The pages are printer paper wrapped with scrapbook patterned papers from the Soho Garden collection by American Crafts. The sewing a little unique in the design and they're placed closer together than "usual" for my books. For a final bit of funky flair I attached a knob to the front for easy opening! The rainbow colors of this book make me happy.

*********************************************************************************

5) VINTAGE GERMAN CHARM BOOK
Size: 5.5 x 8.5"
Unique features: On Wednesday I drove 20 minutes to an antique shop in Weiden and found piles and piles of books. A few caught my eye for the purpose of reconstructing into books - this one made the cut! I did a little googling for the title and it translates to "Home in the Forest". I love the watercolor images on the covers and how German the scenes are. Reminds me of our home here. The pages are blank printer paper. As a fun touch I strung bits and baubles of this and that into the spine. Definitely one of my favorites!

*********************************************************************************

6) LICENSE PLATE BOOK
Size: 6 x 6"
Unique features: The covers are made of a license plate! From our old car no less. I love skiing, I love Utah, therefore this book is awesome :) I used a friend's pair of metal clippers to trim the plate in half and then an awl and hammer to make the holes. Had to pull out all the industrial tools for this one! The pages are made from grid paper so it'd be good for math and sketches and stuff like that. Be careful when handling - I tried to sand down the edges but they're still a bit sharp!

*********************************************************************************

7) LITTLE BLACK BOOK
Size: 6 x 6"
Unique features: I wrapped boards with houndstooth fabric and the pages are made from black cardstock - fun for white markers and other specialty pens meant for dark paper. Then I went the Victoria's Secret route and opted for hot pink thread for the binding. And some bling, woot woot! Perfect for a tween girl or teenager or bachelorette party.

*********************************************************************************

8) WHITEWASHED WOOD BOOK
Size: 5 x 7"
Unique features: I love these natural holes in the wood covers which I then whitewhashed with paint. The printer paper pages are wrapped with an assortment of Dear Lizzy patterned papers. I used THREE colors of thread to stitch the binding! Never done that before!

*********************************************************************************

9) CASSETTE BOOK
Size: 2.5 x 4"
Unique features: Cassettes? What are cassettes? Haha. What a different world we live in than just 20 years ago. Hey, there are holes already in 'em so they make perfect book covers! I got these cassettes from Desert Industries like a decade ago. I have a whole bin full of miscellaneous items I want to turn into books. For a touch of sparkle and shine I stitched the book together with gold thread. The pages are made from lined paper so you can write straight in it.

*********************************************************************************

10) PLEXIGLAS SASSAFRAS BOOK
Size: 5 x 6.75"
Unique features: Saved my favorite for last :) This book has covers made from Plexiglas - a fun material because it's see-through! All of the pages are made from Sassafras Lass patterned papers (I wish they were still around - their patterns are so unique!) and another special feature is each page has a decorative edge. I stitched the book together with yarn so it's thicker. I just love the patterns and colors of this book. Not ideal for writing in but perfect for pictures and ephemera and such.

  1. I love your wooden books, the three of them (in no particular order) are my favourite. Thanks for the chance to win, and for such a great blog. I love how you combine travel, family and scrapbooking in one place.

    I am from NZ, but first started reading your blog in 2012 when we lived in the UK. I "found" your blog via two peas, you were my favourite Garden Girl.

    Keep up the great work!

  2. Gratulations and thank you Paige for being such an passionate and gorgeous Blogger, I so enjoy to read your blogposts!
    I first stumbled across your blog about the time you were pregnant with Fox, so it's been quite a while I guess :-) I followed your journey since then and it kind of makes me happy to see how you enjoy living in Bavaria, which is my home as well!
    Choosing one or three of your books isn't too easy, they're all so so beautiful and I would be honored to get one of them. Since I have to make a decision I especially love the round book, the book with the floral design and the one with the whitewashed wooden board.
    Please keep on blogging for at least the next 20.000 posts :-)
    With the bestest wishes,
    Sabrina

  6. Congratulations on reaching 2000 posts! I have followed your blog for a few years now, whether it's your unique style of scrapbooking, or your fabulous PaigeBooks or just photos of your adorable family. I'm not sure exactly how I first found your blog, possibly through American Crafts! We definitely haven't met in person - I live in New Zealand (I'm not sure if this is open to Internationals like me, it's okay if it's not!)
    My favourite books are the Plexiglas Sassafras Book, the Rounded Book, and the Floral Fabric Book.
    All the best for your future thousands of posts :-) I look forward to the frequent inspiration.

  14. Hi Paige,

    I love 3,4&8! Your books are all so creatively done but 348 are my faves!

    I think I got to know you through instagram. Your instagram was recommended by my pal for scrapbooking inspiration as I have materials but I seldom make use of them. I got mental blocks when it comes to scrapbooking..

    Thank you for having this giveaway, I got to know it from your instagram post! Whoever gets your books are lucky :)

    Have a good weekend!

    ReplyDelete
  15. Ove 4 and 6. All the books are unique and nice. Hope I can win one of them.

    Thanks for such a great giveaway.

    I get to know u from Instagram and also from studio calico IG. Love all yr layouts.

    ReplyDelete
  16. What a fabulous blog! Love your books, what don't you do? I follow you on Studio Calico. Hard to choose a book but my favorite has to be vintage German <3. Next is the little black book and I like the floral fabric too. Truly I would be honored to win any of them. So much love goes into making each one, how can you part? Thank you and congratulations for your commitment to posting for 6 1/2 years!

  17. Hi Paige,
    I love all of these, but my favourites are 1, 4 and 6. I love the door knob and colours on no 4 and my son who is 2 loves reading number plates (weird hobby I know!) but he runs to every car he sees to read the number plate! So that one would have to be a favourite for that reason. You are so talented. I also have a 2 and 4 year old!
    I found you through SC. I love your layouts, my favourite that I've copied is the rolled paper technique and I've also taken your stitched class which I'm doing right now, it's amazing!
    Congratulations!
    Amelia :)

    I hope, we will meet again some day!

    Hugs

  37. Paige I sense that your soul is filled with beauty and love as is your personality and all reflected in the LO's you make and now in these precious books. I love #8 #9 #10. Why? I think they reflect your love for beautiful papers and fun, unique designs. If I won the cassette book I would gift it to my 8 yr old grandson who has a little diary that he writes in and loves to make cards.
    I found you on the Garden Girls -- 2 peas a few yrs ago. And more recently on IG. I live in southern Alberta Canada. With winter solidly here I have more time for papercrafting. Am always inspired by your creativity. Thanks for sharing it and for putting your love into these little #paigebooks

  38. I love the Anthro Coastes Book, Little Black Book and White Washed Wood Book. Just to follow instructions because all of them are wonderful.

  45. These books are amazing! I am from North Carolina and I found you through Two Peas after Fox was born and I was instantly in love with your scrapbooking style. You are my absolute favorite scrapbooker! I have loved following the journey your family has taken over the years with your children being born and moving overseas.

    My favorite books are 2 (Rounded book), 4 (Wood with open knob), and 8 (Whitewashed book). Thanks for giving us the opportunity to win one of these awesome books!

  46. Paige you are so insanely talented. I have been reading your blog for years and following you. I think I first started following you through Two Peas, but even more so since you joined the Studio Calico team.

    All of your books are gorgeous. IF I had to pick, I like the Antro one the best, followed by the one with the rounded corners. Honestly though they are all just so darn fabulous, it was really hard to pick.

    Congrats on your tremendous 20,000th post! That is quite the accomplishment.

  47. Oh - they are beautiful! My 3 favs: floral fabric, plexiglass and little black book. I know you from Studio Calico - where I follow you. Happy 2000th blogiversary!!!

I found you in the two peas in a bucket gallery and fell in love with your work!! You're so talented, can't wait to see what comes in the next 2,000 posts!!

    ReplyDelete
  49. I loved reading all of the above posts...it really is a small world, that even though everyone is from all over, we all feel connected to you. :)

    I found you through a hashtag on instagram for something related to grafenwoehr. I started stalking you before we even met! What a creep. Lol And now we know each other. Yay!

    Im in love with all of those. I want to be you when I grow up lol. But i love the knobbed book and the wooden ones and also the plexiglass one. Thanks for sharing you with us!

    ReplyDelete
  50. Amazing work; just amazing! I love the Sassafras, white washed and wooden books. I saw your post on IG. Congratulations on your blog!

    ReplyDelete
  51. I love these paigebooks, always have! Of these 10, my favorites are
    1) German Vintage
    2) Whitewashed Wood
    3) plexiglass Sassafras
    But I must say that cleverness of the cassette tape caught my eye on your IG post! If only it was my NKOTB tapes!

    I found you through Leslie Ashe a few years ago. It was right after you found out you were pregnant with Jane. I have enjoyed following your adventures :) And I have designed a few quilts inspired by your layouts!

    ReplyDelete
  52. I like the Wood With Open Knob, The Round Book, and the German Charm Book.
    I recently started following you on Instagram.

    ReplyDelete
  53. SASSAFRASS, SASSAFRASS, SASSAFRASS in that exact order ;) I'm a SUCKER for books with different patterns for every page! I also adore the Whitewashed Wood book and the Little Black Book.

    I found you via American Crafts blog (I think?) and have been reading along. I LOVE your travel posts.

    ReplyDelete
  54. Congrats on your 2000th post! I came to know you quite recently, through my year on the American Crafts Design Team, and have enjoyed traveling vicariously through you ever since! ;)

    Wow...those books; amazing details on all! Hard to pick faves, but here goes:

    Wood with Open knob
    Little Black Book
    Floral Fabric

    ReplyDelete
  55. Paige, you are insanely talented and I want to thank you for sharing that with the world. Congratulations on your 2000th post. Yah!!!

    I like the vintage German book as well as the wood "open" book and the white wash wood book. The vintage German one reminds me of all of your fun European adventures you are getting to experience. The wood books seem like something you would only be able to find in quaint European villages.

    Congratulations and I look forward to more inspiration from you as well as posts on your adventures.

    I found out about you over at Studio Calico.

I have been following you ever since! I follow you on SC, here, and on Pinterest. Truly Paige you are SUCH an inspiration to me! I love how patterns, colour and embellishments don't seem to scare you but instead they inspire you. I love using colour and pattern in my layouts too and I completely look up to you.

    Keep up the awesome work!

Everything about it make me want to jump on the train that on the back cover and go on a wonderful holiday.(3) I love the Open Knob Book, it's sooo clever, I think I'd use it at a prayer journal.

    ReplyDelete
  82. Congrats on the 2000th post! I've been reading your blog for a long time - in fact, I think I came to it right before your 1000th post! Can't actually remember how I found it then. I'm from England, and live there now, but for a while, we lived in the USA (Buffalo, NY) - so I find it fascinating to see you do the opposite 'cultural exchange' to what we did - you USA to Europe, us the other way round.

    All your books are perfection, but my three faves are:
    4. Wood with 'open' knob
    10. Plexiglass Sassafras
    1. Anthro Coasters

    Really enjoy your blog - always amazes me how many photos you put in some of your travel posts - it must take forever - or you're a very fast worker!

    Best wishes, Sara

  83. Congrats on 2000 posts that's amazing. I have been following your blog for a long time - I think I first saw your beautiful pages at Two Peas and fell in love with the way you use patterned paper :)

    My favorites are the white washed, tape cassette and Sassafras books.

    ReplyDelete
  84. Congratulations! I remember you from the days when you were with Scrapbook Trends. It was always thrilling to get an email from you requesting a layout!
    My favorite books are the anthro coasters, the plexi Sassafras and the open door album.

    ReplyDelete
  85. Wow, Paige! Congrats on the 2000th post and those books are amaze-balls!! Seriously, you are so talented. My 3 favorites are the wooden one with the door knob, the Sassafras plexiglass one and the floral fabric book. Just adorable. I first got to "know" you on Two Peas - your videos were standouts because of your patterned paper use but I didn't discover your blog (or the other GG's) until Two Peas closed down. Thanks for the chance to win!

    ReplyDelete
  86. All of them are so beautiful!!! My favorite is the Open Door. I have been a fan of yours for so long. I am a quilter, so when I see your pages it is comforting like a quilt!! Congrats on your 2,000th post!

    ReplyDelete
  91. Paige you are so awesome! I love your Paigebooks, they're so unique and awesome.
    I've been following (stalking) your blog for years. You were the first blog I followed and then I fell deep into the creative blog world. I think I found you at 2 peas, i honestly dont' remember but you've wowed me with your creativity ever since. Then I took a class with you once, at Create by the Beach or something, i don't know but you are my favorite because you actually taught us technique and didn't just give us a kit, you went through each step and I went home feeling accomplished. I love your stuff and your bits of family life.

    My top 3 are:
    -Anthro Book coaster (of course, like everyones)
    -Wood with Open knob
    -Little Black Book.

    Thanks for giving away stuff, my fave is winning, lol.

  93. Love any of these but if I had to choose the top 3 are
    Wood with open knob
    German charm book ( actually my most most favorite one!!)

    I first saw and loved your work on Two peas and was thrilled when you started working with studio calico!

    ReplyDelete
  94. The books are too cute. I love 1, 4 & 7. I never would have thought of black paper.

    I found your blog shortly before you moved to Germany. I've really enjoyed hearing all about the move and your trips around Germany and all over. Not sure how I found you, just glad I did.

    ReplyDelete
  95. What a fantastic milestone and an equally cool giveaway! I think the books are all adorable! What a creative mind! I love the Cassette book, the Vintage German book and the Rounded book! (in no particular order)!

    Hallo :)
    Ich schreib den Text auf deutsch (Hab auf Instagram schon nachgefragt, ob es geht und Du hast mir geantwortet)
    Ich würde mich so sehr freuen, wenn ich Nr. 1, 3 oder 10 bekommen würde!
    Ich hab vor einem Jahr zufällig deinen Blog entdeckt. Bevor ich auf deinen Blog gestoßen bin, wusste ich nicht mal, dass es sowas wie Scrapbooking gibt. Ich bin immer noch so glücklich darüber. Wäre ich hier nicht zufällig gelandet, würde ich nie meine Leidenschaft fürs Scrappen entdecken! Dann hätte ich nie mit diesem Hobby angefangen. Seitdem gehe ich mindestens ein mal in der Woche auf deinen Blog und auf deine Instagram Seite, um mich von den bezaubernden Kreationen hier inspirieren zu lassen. Die Texte sind auf Englisch, deshalb verstehe ich es manchmal nicht so gut und schaue mir nur die Bilder an. Du bist mein Scrapbook Idol. Und irgendwann, wenn ich mal groß bin, möchte ich genau so ein wie du: eine reisende Scrapbookerin. Ich wollte auch so einen Blog im Internet machen, aber das ist etwas kompliziert, deshalb hat mein Papa einen Youtube Kanal für mich errichtet. Da will ich deine neuen Layouts und Minialbums nachbasteln. :D Über eines deiner Minialbums würde ich mich so freuen, da du wie gesagt wirklich meine Inspirations quelle bist! <3<3<3<3<3<3 Und es wäre das beste Weihnachtsgeschenk der Welt :)
    Bis dann,
    dein mit Abstand größter Fan Juia, 13 Jahre alt :)

  97. I love the wood one with the "door" knob. The one with the beautiful German painting. And the one with the tapes :)

    I "know" you from SC messages boards although I'm actually really new to them too.

    Love your blog, it's amazing!

    ReplyDelete
  100. Congrats to 2000 posts! That's awesome! :)

    And so are your PaigeBooks - it's hard to pick favourites but the Sassafrass book must be my top pick. Definitively. And then I think the Whitewashed book and the Floral Fabric book come next.

    I don't remember how and when I started follow your blog, but it was most probably during your time as a Garden Girl. I especially love your posts about your trips around Europe. And can't wait to see what you'll write about a visit to "my" country, Sweden. :)

    ReplyDelete
  101. Congratulations to 2000! That is some dedication to blogging.

    Your books are all so very fabulous. My three favorite are:
    o Rounded Book
    o Wood with "Open" Knob Book
    o Little Black Book

    I believe I first "met" you on your "One Amazing Album" feature in Scrapbook Trends.

    Thanks!

    ReplyDelete
  102. My fave is 10 but like them all. 2 and 3 would be my next picks. I started following either through Studio Calico, 2peas, or maybe the magazine you worked for. I am not sure as it has been several years. I enjoy all your travels now so still a good fit.

  104. Congratulations on 2000! Just amazing, is all I can say.

    I found you years ago in "print" magazines which I still have. There is nothing like a good hard copy to revisit often. I felt like I hit pay dirt when I found your blog. Thank you for all the inspiration over the years.

    Thank you for the chance to win one of your lovely books! My choices would be #5 (as we did a bike trip on the Romantic Road in Germany with our nephew and girlfriend in June-love the bling you added to the spine!); #10 as it is your favorite and great memento of you; and #1 as Anthropologie is my favorite store with their colors & designs.

  119. It's so hard to just choose 3, they are all fab. It would have to be the floral book, the German book and the license plate book.

    First of all though: Congrats on 2000 posts - that is quite an acomplishment. I love following your blog, and has for a few years after seeing your layouts on American Crafts blog.
    I started following you because you had a unique way of using patterned paper and colours - something I looooooooove. Very inspirational and I still think you need to come to Denmark and teach at a convention or something like that.
    I love the Sassafras book the most - I miss Sassafras soooo much and the whitewashed wood book is pretty bad ass. And my third favourite is all the others :P But if I have to choose I will chose The Anthro Coasters Book. Any who - thanks for the chance to win and I apologies for my bad grammar english :P

  128. liebe paige,

    i love all of your books, but 4, 6, 10 are my favourites i guess;)

    I first started reading your blog, when you announced that your sweet family will move to germany. i was really excited, because i actually live in germany as well and i just loved your garden girl layouts;)
    I do not only like your scrapbooking but your travels do also inspire me as well:)

    I met you two months ago at scrapbook werkstatt and i was over the wheels excited to meet you;)

    You`re a wonderful person, keep up your fantastic work!

    best wishes, Julia from Germany

  130. I love them all but 1, 4 and 5 are my most favorite. So creative!

    I have been a member of Studio Calico for a very very long time (like since the 4th kit) and started following your blog when you joined the design team. I wish I had your silhouette skills!

    I can't remember how I ended up here, but I think several sources highlighted your work, so I had to see more. Possibilities - Studio Calico, Two Peas, Shimelle, Paperclipping Roundtable.
    So grateful for your beautiful and inspring work - especially with paper.

    ReplyDelete
  133. I love them all, but the favorites are 1,2 and 7. The first time I "discovered" you was through studio calico's instagram. They had reposted one of your LO's and I was so impressed. Then I had to click on you're name and I was sold, I love all you're LOs. They are so amazing!
    Congratulations with 2000 posts!

  136. You seriously blow me away with your talent. And patience. Holy cow. Amazing!

    My top 3 books are the #5 Vintage German Charm (love love!), #3 Floral Fabric, and $8 Whitewashed Wood. But seriously, these are all just gorgeous.

    And I know you from the good ol' days at Northridge. When I started, you were a month away from having your first baby and I had no idea what awesome craziness I had gotten myself into. :)

  137. My favorite are 10, 8 and 3.

    I personally don't know you; however, I am sure we have mutual friends--same age, but I grew up in bothell. I first contacted you about making a book after your 1000 post, but I don't know where that went... Anyways, I have followed your blog since and love to read all about your travels. I makes me want my husband to take an assignment overseas.

    One of my best friends said I had to read your blog and I was hooked the first time.

    ReplyDelete
  144. Congrats on your 2000th post! I love reading your blog for all the travel, scrapping and kid stuff. I don't know you in person but I have been reading your blog since you were in Pasadena (I found you from the American Crafts blog and so happy I did!) My 3 favorite books are the vintage german charm, the little black book and the anthro coaster book.

    ReplyDelete
  145. I love the coaster, whie washed book and the yellow book! I first saw you in Scrapbook Trends. I picked the magazine up at my LSS. It was a layout that you created with Hambly and I was in awe. After that, I started buying ST at my store.

    ReplyDelete
  146. Oh wow, Paige, your books are amazing, totally in love with them!
    I found your blog half a year ago at Studio Calico and I love reading about your trips across Europe and your life in Germany. It is so fun and interesting to see - especially all the things I grew up with and that are normal for me - with your eyes.

    My favorite books are:

    1. WHITEWASHED WOOD BOOK
    2. VINTAGE GERMAN CHARM BOOK
    3. CASSETTE BOOK

    I love them all, but these three books are beyond amazing, I am still in awe. :)

    Keep up your inspiring work and I wish you and your family a wonderful time here in Germany. :)

    ReplyDelete
  147. Hi Paige,
    they are all lovely, but here are my personal favorites:
    8 - 4 - 3

    How I got to know you... was searching for layout inspirations last winter as I´ve already been a Stampin´Up! Demo and clicked through the gallery on Studio Calico. That time I asked you for the special Star layout background digital cut file! You told me it´s not available anymore. But I kept an eye on you and all the beautiful layouts you´re still creating. You "know" me as stempelaufpapier on Pinterest, I´m from Vienna and would have loved to attend your Workshop at Scrapbook-Werkstatt. But as my littlest of 4 was just 3 months I decided this trip would be too tough ;-)
    So I keep following you and all your nice posts and inspirations! Keep having fun on blogging!
    Sabine

  148. Thank you so much for the chance to win! Here's my top 3 choices:

    4.) wood with "open" knob book
    5.) vintage German charm book
    10.) Plexiglas Sassafras book

    I found your blog via 2Peas. I love reading your posts. They are so real and down to earth. I especially love the travel ones. My husband is from Switzerland. We've been to Germany a couple of times...would LOVE to live there! I also love reading your old posts from California because I lived in Burbank for 9 years. Lately I've been reading your posts when you were working the bar mitzvahs with Amy Tan...so much fun!

    Congratulations! Here's to 2,000 more!

  149. I love reading about your various travels and adventures. I know you from the CARDS magazine days. Always was exciting to receive an email from you requesting a card or project. My favorite books are the ones with the wooden covers, numbers 1, 4 and 8. Thank you for the chance to win.

    ReplyDelete
  150. Wow! These are gorgeous! It is hard to choose a favorite, so it was very gracious of you to ask for three! :) If I had to choose, I would say 2-Rounded Book, 5-Vintage German Charm, and 10-Plexiglass Sassafras. They all have so much character, but these ones speak to me the most. You are so amazing and talented. Thanks for sharing your work with the world.

    ReplyDelete
  151. Wow!! 2000 posts. Congratulations on this milestone. I can't quite remember when I first started following you but it was probably through 2peas. I really enjoy your posts on your travels & life in Europe. Your photos are amazing. It helps me remember our recent travels into your part of the world.
    I also love your books & have recently been showing them to my son & his fiancé who are getting married in March. One of them would be perfect for their wedding guest book & they both love them. My favourites would be the rounded book (perfect match for their wedding colour) the floral fabric book & the coaster book although it was a tough decision 😄.

  152. Hi Paige!

    I love your Paige-books!!!
    My favorite is No. 10, the plexiglas sassafras, because it's soooo colourful! Second best is definetly No. 8 - I think it's very unique because of the natural wooden look and the wholes in the surface. I also like No. 2, the round book, which is kind of calming and clear and has a special shape! :)

    I am from Germany and first got to know about you on Instagram (@jana1203)! But I'm not sure how I came across your account... anyways, I liked it at first sight!! :)

    So, hopefully you will pick me to win one of those really great books! :)

    Keep it going, I love your work!!

    Best wishes,
    Jana

  153. They are all wonderful books but my favourites are 4, 7 & 10.

    Thanks for the wonderful giveaway and all the sharing you do.

    ReplyDelete
  154. I love ALL you books!!! But if I had to choose three I would pick.. the floral fabric book, the wood with open knob and the white washed wood.

    I can't even remember where I originally found your blog. I think maybe it was from a pin on pinterest. I have been following from as far back as when Fox was just a wee little one.

    We "know" each other from South Pasadena! Those were the good old days......

  184. Your books are absolutely beautiful. So are your pictures from Germany. I miss my time there. I was stationed at Rhein Main. I know it is closed now and probably any evidence of the base is gone now. Thanks for sharing your experiences.

    ReplyDelete
  185. Paige these books are amazing. How to choose!? I think the cassette tapes would be perfect for a musician or teen who can appreciate the awesome retro-ness that probably comes with it. So hipster-ific! :^)
    My favorite is the Sassafras book because it's got those lovely vintage papers inside! I imagine all those decorative edges would make any photos placed inside look quite handsome.
    I guess most of us have let you know how much we love that wooden know book! My daughter's nickname is Rainbow and this would be a perfect smash book replacement for her. It's awesome to think of her adding art and memorabilia to her own special collecting spot, and she loves to read too so I may have to borrow your idea and refinish as few of her we'll loved (is destroyed the same as distressed?) favorites.
    The way you attack with scraps always intrigued me when you were showcased with TwoPeas. I follow you on Instagram now and love hopping to your blog. You have a great mix of craft and real life stories here, it's obvious you enjoy the writing process!
    Cheers to your dedication and this incredible offering of handmade treasures!
    P.S. when will the Quilted by Paige Evans collection be available! Lol

  186. Hi Paige. Thanks for fab giveaway. Love the cassette, German and floral books.
    I first "met" you when I started scrapbooking just under a year ago and your stuff just overwhelmed me and slightly scared me as a newbie! Now I love reading the blog and following you on Instagram and Pinterest and occasionally lifting your awesome ideas!! As a new mum myself I also love reading about your little ones and when recently in the US you popped into my head my buying a t shirt with little foxes on it! The crazy world of social media!
    Here's hoping I win!
