general information about the "letterbooks" before attempting them! One of my favorite classes while attending college was "Teaching Art", which, at the time, was taught by the teacher of another of my favorite classes "Children's Literature". Think about it: we got to have the fun of learning to teach elementary art and read children's books for college credit!

When you "stamp up" in this "letterbook", please be prepared to do some art work that incorporates your stamp image! I have left an example in the book incorporating my stamp (although in my rush, I forgot to finish my work of art, so I'll have to go back sometime.) You may use any art medium you wish as long as it doesn't bleed through the pages and/or create a mess on the shelves, but please bring your own supplies. I used colored pencils, but I could see using a regular pencil, colored pens, non-bleeding markers, oil pastels, chalks, some paints, etc. or even carvings or stamps! You also might bring hair spray (or other spray) to preserve your art work, especially with chalks, and maybe some wax paper (cut to size) to put between the pages so your work doesn't smudge or ruin other art work. If this idea scares you because you are not an artist, don't be afraid! Anything from the mundane to the extravagant is welcome in this book! One look at my artwork, and you'll see you don't need to do a great work of art!
