Where is my Muse?

I discovered altered books a few years ago when a woman in a scrapbook store showed me a Can Do book on the topic. I bought the Can -do book, and promptly set to work making my first altered book. It was a gift for my friend who was celebrating a twenty year anniversary in a particular line of work. Each layout represented an item on her resume.Following that, I did a few other altered books for myself, then created a gigantic altered book for another friend as a New Years gift. I contacted my friend's family and other friends and asked them to provide pictures, anecdotes and memorabilia. The completed book was huge, filled to the brim, unable to close -- and very meaningful to the recipient. I'm currently working on a similar book for yet another friend. This one commemorates a major birthday. I don't consider myself an artist, as do many who participate in this art form. However, the activity brings me much enjoyment and fulfillment.

So now I have a blog about altered art and other paper crafts. I have no idea what I will put in this blog. I will let my muse lead me. Well, let's back up a bit here. I must confess that I have no muse (hanging head in shame!). I hear other crafters/artists talking about their muse as if she regularly popped in for tea. I have no such creature. I just pretend that I do. However, I believe my pretend muse must have a name. I will call her Lizzie. I wonder if a pretend muse is just as good as a real one.
