My Creative Journal





My mum gave me this Designers Guild journal for Christmas and I just LOVE it! Everytime I open up the cover and see the beautiful colourful flowers which adorn the inside cover I smile. Thanks mum for this beautiful book - I just hope Tricia Guild brings out a new one next year so I can put it on my 2008 Christmas wishlist!!
