Gift sneak preview

Ok.  Nikki, you can not let Melissa see this post until after this weekend!

I am so excited about this little gift I made for Melissa, I just had to post it.  I think it turned out super cute!

It's a journal!  I hope she likes it, because I am in love with it.  I may have to make one for myself!  And I'm extra proud of it because I made it totally from scratch, no patter or tutorial.  And I only had to rip the seams out and start over once!  (Apparently adding batting for stability takes away from the width, and that makes it too small.  Who knew??)  

Seriously.  If she doesn't want it, I will probably keep it for myself, hehehe.... :)
