The pages of The Confession Album contain 100 questions. Your part
is collecting the answers - whether from a loved one, or yourself -
in the course of an evening, or over a lifetime. If you're
answering for yourself, The Confession Album offers an opportunity
to gain and share the solace of self-expression; a way to relay
knowledge or impart wisdom; store a little data about what matters
in the old-fashioned way, by putting pen to paper. If you're
collecting someone else's answers - whether together in person or
by inviting them to respond alone and share with you later - The
Confession Album is above all an opportunity to bond. To lend your
ears and give your love. The Confession Album might be used to mark
a birthday or anniversary. As an activity to anchor a family trip
or weekend with friends. At the very least, it beats a Greeting
Card or social media quiz. At best, it creates a small but
thoughtful legacy - recording thought, and hard-won wisdom, to
advise and inspire. For Aspiring Writers, The Confession Album
removes one more barrier to putting pen to paper. The Confession
Album is designed to encourage you to make a start, to help writers
find and refine their voice on the page.

twist-all the projects use recycled and upcycled materials. This
book shows you how to take everyday materials from around the
house, flea markets, thrift stores, and hardware stores and turn
them into clever and eye-catching hand-made books.
