Another amazing journal…just love the beautiful stitching and the mix of fabrics…
I recognize both the red paper and the clay button… 
what a fabulous way (again) to re-circulate the crafting love!

My parcel arrived from @Smmarrt today and I am feeling very spoilt! Not one, not two, but three mini books, and all so gorgeous
First up, everything together -
The pens are so lovely to write with 
The first book - the cover is like paper patchwork and it makes me smile so much
Lots of different papers inside
It is difficult to pick any favourites, as they are all so different, but these three caught my eye as I was flicking through. I think I am going to use this to write down quotes that I love!
Then there are these two - I think one is a paper bag cover and one is a cardboard cup sleeve cover - @Smmarrt are you able to confirm please?
And the first page in the ‘spread your wings’ book is this beauty
Thank you for everything, I love it all

Yes, paper bags and coffee sleeve. Glad they arrived quickly. And happy that they are well received.
And I like the idea of a quote book - I’m going to do that also in one of my books.

Omg. Best. Gallery. Ever. I am drooling over all of these gorgeous books!
And speaking of drooling, I received this bit of gorgeousness from Reinikka. I adore it keep picking it up just to hold it and squish it. (It has a very pleasant squish to it — I love Teesha Moore style everything.)
Thank you so much, Reinikka! This was a lovely swap!

Such texture and color! Love that the pages include some of her masterboard art work!
So tactile and beautiful @SonjaBoo @Reinikka, the fabrics and patches, and the Gelli prints and ephemera are so fun. Beautiful. Now to go sit on a bench in the sun surrounded by spring flowers and journal!

I received two mini books and a bunch of extra goodies from @SonjaBoo 
All together:
This little book is full of so much to look at! I am loving it!!!
Some inside pages of both books:
The smaller book has so many sewn-in elements and is a perfect mixed media stand alone book that is perfect just the way it is! And the more rectangular book has more white space so I could add to it if I want to but it’s also great on it’s own so I might not 
If I do anything extra to it it will be something simple like writing down my favorite quotes or cute things my kid says
Thank you @SonjaBoo

Super pretty! I like the idea of using a special book for kid quotes, I wrote down a few over the years and they are precious.
