Problem: Article: It is perfectly reasonable to leave your loose pages as is, so long as they're numbered and collected in one place. Making a bona fide book requires at least some regard to the physical package however. While the possibilities for bookbinding are endless, most picture books favour a hardcover. This can be done at home by taking a thin piece of cardboard and folding it into two halves, with a small creased strip in the middle to make the spine. Cut out the cardboard to match your picture book's size and glue your front and back page to the respective sides of the cardboard. If you're making the book with the specific intent of getting it physically distributed by a publisher, you need not worry about your own package. Just make sure the pages are as well maintained as possible, and digitally scanned if necessary. To make your pages a book, you need to bind them all together somehow. The way you go about this will depend on the material style you're attempting for the picture book. If you want the  content to stand on its own without a package, you can put a hole in the top-left corner of each page, run a length of string through it and tie it together at the ends. Giving it a more thorough binding with a coil-wrap is preferred if you think the book is going to see a lot of handling.  It's a good idea to number your pages from the onset. Nothing can mess up a book faster than putting the pages in the wrong order. If you decided to give your book a spine and hardcover, you can glue the ends of your paper to the spine by folding the long edge of the paper back by a centimetre and applying a thin strip of adhesive. In the current age, it's actually much easier for new authors to put their picture books online as a digital version. Abode Acrobat and Microsoft are both recommended programs to use if you decide to go this route. Scan the completed pages you have for your book, and arrange them as you will in the file. Finishing your book off digitally offers some benefits. For the title and text, you'll be able to type it out over the scanned image if you haven't done it by hand already.  Provided you have a basic understand of graphic design programs, you can also edit the size and dimensions of your pictures. Some would say a book does not truly exist until it is being read and enjoyed. In the internet age, there are lots of ways you can show off your work. Scanning the images and compiling them into a PDF file as an ebook means you'll be able to distribute (and possibly sell!) your work without an overhead cost. Sites like StoryJumper offer a platform for people to promote their picture books. Then again, it may be more special to leave the book as a one-of-a-kind and offer it as a gift.
Summary: Make a cover and spine.  Hole and bind your pages. Assemble a digital version. Show off your new picture book.

Problem: Article: You might have some idea of the type of girl you are looking for and what traits you consider to be “sweet.” However, it can help you in your search if you take some time to identify what specific personality traits you are looking for in a girlfriend. Take some time to make a list of qualities that you hope your next girlfriend will have, such as:  Easygoing. A team player. Positive, optimistic, and upbeat. Energetic and fun. Intelligent and thoughtful. Affectionate and loving. Passionate and driven. You don’t have to have everything in common with your significant other, but having some things in common is often helpful for a successful relationship. Try to identify your biggest interests to determine some things that you want your next girlfriend to also care about. For example, you might list:  Music, such as rock, country, rap, or classical. Reading literature, the newspaper, or poetry. Sports, such as basketball, football, running, or baseball. Playing an instrument or singing. Going to the movies or playing video games. After you have constructed some lists that expand on your definition of a sweet girl, you can use these lists to help you find her. Read over the traits and interests you have listed, then think about where a girl like this might spend her time.  For example, you might determine that a girl who shares your love of music will probably frequent local concerts and music stores. Therefore, be on the lookout the next time you go to one of these places. If you have listed that you want a girl who is kind and caring, then she might volunteer at the local homeless shelter or animal rescue. Try signing up for some volunteer hours as well. If you want a girl who has the same political or religious philosophy as you do, then attend local political activism meetings or religious services. Many people find someone who they feel connected to just by going about their usual business, such as by going to school, work, church, or to community gatherings. Try to stick to your routine and pay attention to the girls who are usually there. One of them might be the perfect girl for you.  Try talking with girls who you see on a regular basis. For example, you can strike up a conversation by saying something like, “I see you here all the time. I am a regular here, too.” Or, “How long have you been with the company? I have been here about a year, but I don’t think we have ever had a conversation.” Although blind dates have a reputation for being awkward, lots of people actually meet their significant other through a friend. Try asking your male and female friends if they know any single girls who might good a match for you. Be sure to tell your friends what type of girl you are looking for in detail, such as by sharing your lists of traits and interests with them. Your friends might have a different definition of a “sweet” girl, so be as clear as possible about what you are seeking. Online dating is also a great avenue for meeting a girl. A great benefit of this method is that you can say exactly what you are looking for and connect with girls who have those traits and interests. Try making a profile on an online dating site to meet some girls who have the qualities you are looking for. Online dating is also a great option if you are a bit shy. You can talk to girls who are interested in you and not have to worry so much about rejection.
Summary:
Identify the traits you are looking for in a girlfriend. Figure out what interests you hope she will share. Use your lists to help you figure out where to look. Go places you usually go. Ask your friends if they know anyone. Try online dating.
