create :: journal

I have the most fun, creative, ninja loving (best) friend. I say "(best)" because it almost seems that we are "too old" to be saying "best friends." But, she is the one who knows me almost as well as my husband does. She could prepare me my favorite dessert, cook me a dinner according to my specifications without me giving them to her, and she could order me coffee at Starbucks. She and I have a sister-like relationship that grew out of a time in our lives that otherwise would have been very lonely, had we not spent so much time together.

Her birthday was this week and as she is a voracious reader, constant note jotter, and notebooks and journals lover, I thought, "what would be a better gift than a journal!" So, bring out the pretty paper, use my rotary paper cutter and self-healing mat, some Elmer's spray glue, vintage pictures with quirky captions, make a trip to kinko's and VOILA! Here it is!

Now all is needed is to pack and ship. I could write here, "I hope she likes it." But, I'm not going to because I really have no doubt in my mind she is going to love it! And I love it too!
Happy Birthday!
