Happy Birthday!

Not only do I turn a quarter century today, but this blog turns the big T-W-O!

It’s going to be a good day. I can feel it. To celebrate, I’m doing a giveaway! YUP. Another blank journal giveaway for those that you didn’t win last time.

      Just found your blog and love it. I’ve never had an interest in sewing, but after seeing all of your great projects, I’m inspired to learn. Too bad I’m on the other side of the country and can’t take the bookbinding class; I would love it!

Chris and I are friends from freshman year, but we’ve (you and I) never had the chance to meet. Anyway, tell Chris “hi” for me. I love to see your little fam on here every now and then.
