I am pretty sure this is the best gift I could have hoped for with this pens and stationery exchange! Bee-chain made me a gorgeous handcrafted notebook made from recycled and scavenged materials. She used materials like corduroy pants and a thrift store blouse. The pages are made from painter's masking paper and it is lined with pictures from a 1969 San Diego zoo ad. I am so impressed by this gift and I can't wait to get to journalling!!
