Giveaway1
I had big plans to photograph each step of how to make a book using the "case-binding" method. Except that it is very hard to take pictures while making a book and then come up with instructions so it makes sense. Sad Day.

Covers Textblock
I went ahead and made the book this afternoon, using a text block and bookboard from Paper Source and cover paper purchased last fall from Paper Studio. A text block in case binding is the "block" of papers that are pre-cut and pre-glued that will drop into the covers and spine to become the pages of the book.
Giveaway2
If you are interested in learning more, I am sure their are videos on youtube or there may even be bookbinding classes in your area. In the meantime, if you would like to own a handmade book, please leave a comment to be entered to win this one. I will randomly choose a winner Monday night.

My name is Elise Blaha Cripe. I live in San Diego, California with my husband and our two young daughters.

I make stuff like it's my job.

In 2015 I launched GET TO WORK BOOK®, a daily planner + goal-setting journal. For almost ten years, this blog was where I shared (daily!) general life musings, insight into being a small business owner and the occasional craft project. In 2019, I have started sharing more here on occasion. I have closed comments, but feel free to email me at elise[@]gettoworkbook.com if you have any questions about a post you see here.

If you're new here, I invite you to browse the archives, read my small business story or start with some of my favorite things to write about, DIY home decor & goal-setting. You can also listen to my motivational speech about the power of making bold statements.
