Fun Project and Easy to do!
I thoroughly enjoyed putting this book together. Once I read through the directions and watched the video on YouTube I understood what needed to be done.

Same quality I've come to expect from Peg and Awl
I have yet to start on this book making project but have watched the video a couple of times. The instructions are straight forward and very easy to understand. The kit is well done so should be easy to assemble. I'll be taking this journal with me on vacation at the end of next month so I better get cracking.
Thanks Peg & Awl for another wonderful product.
