Back to some more store packaging with this little coptic stitch mini-journal made from a box of pink snowballs. I'm afraid I have to admit that whenever I don't have an idea for something original, these package books are a fine fallback. Owning a grocery/convenience store means we have so many boxes to choose from! If it weren't so big, I'd probably make one from a Stetson Hat carton (yeah, we sell those, too).
Anyway, this little mini-journal has seven signatures stitched in pink hemp with a single-needle coptic stitch binding. I had to put the covers under weight for a really long time to get them to stop curving up on me and they are still ever so slightly bent. But they'll do. I do think the pink cord is a nice girly touch!
I realize I have fallen behind on photographing and posting books here on the blog. Since I do most of my bookmaking at night, after Allen has gone to bed and I have peace and quiet and solitude, it's always really late by the time I finish. Sometimes adding the time to take the photos, size them in PhotoShop then writing and posting to the blog is just more than I can handle. It's bedtime and I can't hold my eyes open to make a post.
I'll try to make some progress in getting caught up with posts in the next few days.

This is perfect in pink! I love your "fall back" packaging covers.
