I was making a couple handmade books bound with the coptic stitch for gifts. One is for my niece who is going away to college and one is for my cousin's birthday who takes conversational French classes. So I personalized them with their names and the type of notebook: "french notes" and "music notes".
I have one to giveaway so if you leave a comment I'll randomly pick a name at the end of next week (let's say next Saturday) and send it along to the lucky winner. It's a "things to note" book, the cover made with St. Armand paper and filled with ivory text paper.
We'll be going on vacation soon with the kiddies before school starts. It'll be a nice time away from work...and before homework starts up again...
What beautiful books. I'd love to own one of them!
Thank you for having this giveaway!

Wow! What an amazing idea. My husband and I are in the process of adopting a child and I am going to start a journal of the process.
