Little Golden Book Clock
"I always say there is nothing that can't be turned into a clock! When I found this Little Golden Book on Ebay for a fabulous price and free shipping, I had to buy it and see if it could be turned into a fun clock that would inspire folks to turn their children's old books into something that would be a precious memory instead of donating them to Goodwill or leaving them in a box in the attic. This is really easy to make in less than an hour."
