SOS Challenge #236 - Inspired By A Book!

Hello, Crafty Peeps,
This is Chana and it is my week to host.

Well, we like to keep things interesting here at Shopping Our Stash, and our theme for this challenge fills the bill quite well!  We want you to create a project that is Inspired By A Book!   It could be the title of the book, it could be a character from the book, whatever your stash will support.
You could even use a quote from a book, something like:
 "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a.....!"

We are excited to see what you create!  
Hugz!

Here's  A Little Inspiration from our DT!
