Book of Hours preparation

I started working on my book of hours project this week! I decided on my materials and made a rulesheet to guide my lines.

Mine will not be this pretty, but I have hopes that this project will improve my handwriting.

As I work, I'll be following the content of this hypertext book of hours, section by section. I guess I will post some pictures as I complete pages? Maybe I'll try to set up an IFTTT recipe to do it automatically? Any suggestions for easily sharing photos?

PSA: Book clubbish activities in the near future

Book Discussions I plan to attend this summer! I realize this looks like a high school summer reading list; that's just how I roll. If you are interested in reading any of these/coming along to any of the chats, please let me know - here, on facebook, on twitter, or by semaphore preferred.
