Ready to go
I've always loved that song by Republica, it's..ahem... an older song now.... but it still rocks really hard. I should put that on my ipod....
Anyways now that I'm rocking out in my own head I would love to talk about this little lovely on the right side of the page. I *love* this book! I splurged on this paper awhile back and had been waiting for the right design at the right time. It's a ribbon hinge journal which is constructed like a traditional book, but instead of gluing the text block on to the case the ribbons tie on the outside and hold it in place. This book also features a matching tie on the edges of the cover to keep it closed. The inside paper is a rich royal purple paper with a fantastic metallic sheen.
See I'm so in love with this book I'm already writing an amazing product description!
I've got a really stuffed set up for the show tomorrow so lots of options for those who can stop by!

I can see why you love this book - it's the prettiest thing. You've made a beautiful job of it.
Thanks Carol!
oh, that is so pretty kiley! is the paper soft? it looks soft :)
Thanks Rhonda!
It is very soft. It's a wonder handmade paper from Japan, and as always worth every penny of the sheet. This will be one of those papers I use every little scrap for something.
