Altered Goosebumps Books

  • Completed Project: Altered Goosebumps Books Picture #1

crafter beware - you're in for a scare!

I loved reading Goosebumps books as a kid, and my favorite was Be Careful What You Wish For. I also loved the Give Yourself Goosebumps Series, which is like a choose your own adventure with that special tough of Goosebumps magic...So when I recently acquired some of my old favorites, I added a few changed of my own.

My favorite books are the ones with fortune tellers in them. R.L. Stine's fortune tellers are very mysterious, and you can't tell if they're good or bad.
