[how would I remove the used pages?]

Anyways, so I found someone's old art book in the trash at school. I don't usually dig in the trash, if you're wondering, but this book was sticking out and practically ASKING me to take it. There were a ton of empty pages inside, so it would have been a waste to leave it in there anyways. 











At first, I was going to give it to my sister; she likes sketching and started drawing in it right away. Then, I kind of fell in love with it and couldn't stop imagining how great it would be as a fabric covered journal. And by covering it with fabric, I could get rid of the icky paint splatters and pen marks on the cover!

But there were a few things in my way. For one, how would I remove the used pages? I can't just rip them out, can I? Will I have to take apart the book?

Also, there are some papers glued on the insides of the covers. I want to take them off, but I don't want to peel them and rip up the paper. Will I have to risk ripping the paper or just find some new endpapers?

Also, this is sort of an OCD thing, but I just NEED to get rid of the paint on the pages! I'd like it to be completely "clean" on the outside.

(I've got more questions, but I can't seem to remember them right now...)

I'm not really sure how I'm not going to do this, so any help is appreciated!

So, here's how the story goes. Every now and then I get an urge to go bake something. Sometimes I follow that urge, sometimes I ignore it.
Either way, everyone around me at the moment will know because I'll start to flip through recipe books for something to make. And because I'm such a dessert person, no one can wait till I get to the kitchen and make them all something sweet. Even if it turns out bad, which is most of the time... lol.
So, this time, I decided "Why don't I try making a cheesecake?"
So that's what I did. After an astonishingly large amount of cream cheese, barely enough sour cream, and a gloopy can of strawberry pie filling, here was the result.

Innocent looking heart attack in a pan.


I forgot to loosen it from the sides. It cracked.


After the gloopy strawberry filling.


My wonderful slice.


A side view.


Yum.


While I really enjoyed eating it, I don't know if I'll ever make it again. It was fairly simple, and everyone at home loved it. They loved it so much I had to salvage it and put it in the freezer for later, when I'm too lazy to bake. 

I apologize if the pictures are too big...
