Description
... I suck at titles, so so bad.T'was for my boyfriends 21st birthday. Luckily (after the whole breaking the leg gig) I had a signatures I bound a few months ago, that didn't have a cover becase I didn't have enough leather. So, I used the alligator stamped cowhide I bought whilst I was in CA. We don't get to see each other too often, so I thought this'd be a nice way to fill the time. It has 120 pages at least, so there'll be plenty of space for memories.

You two are very cute together.

Beautiful! What a great idea for a present, especially since you don't see each other. I love how you wrote on the inside; beautiful penmanship. I also really like how it's wrapped with the leather strap to keep it closed. Nice work!

I wish we could see each other more often, darn that time relative to distance thing =\ There are 7300 miles between us or sommat. Thanks Beth! that's just my everyday writing x)
The reason for the leather strap is I forgot that adding photos in will make the book thicker, thus it wont stay closed on it's own, but shhhh

Long distance relationships are hard. My hubby and I went through it for a couple years when we both were in college (before we were married). It was tough. Hang in there!
You're welcome!

Hehehehe, it'll be our secret x)
