It arrived without a hitch, it's sturdy, super adjustable, and looks very cute on notebooks. Wonderful!

The kit is very nice and arrived nicely in time. I haven't tried it out yet but it looks very promising.

Arrived promptly, good quality (better than the notebook it's used on, in fact) and has kept me from losing pens.

Nicely put together kit. I'm sure that the recipient of this gift, a ten-year-old, will enjoy making the books. Thanks to the seller for including specific colors that I said that the child likes. Thanks also for prompt shipment.

About

Ah...natural light. (artificial light makes my head hurt)
Measure once cut twice? That doesn't sound right.....
And cut and sew and press and turn and press and cut.....

Travel light, draw often

I think with my hands. My life is full of notes, doodles, lists, sketches, and plans. Like my father-in-law who can't talk if you hold his hands still, my thought process grinds to a halt if I can't use my hands. All my best thinking begins and ends on paper. Paper is not much help though, if I can't find a pen. Much of the time, until I made the first journal bandolier, I could NOT find a pen.

    My mother, taught me to love to learn. She passed these clever hands down to me from my grandma who made more quilts than anyone could count and was as stubborn as she was short.
