Diane, I love these start to finish videos. I am trying to make a small journal for a friend of mine. I have fashioned it slightly toward a farmstead. My friend has chickens. Her husband of over 50 years has mesothelioma. As you would expect, she is devastated. I thought the journal might give her a place to journal all her feelings of sadness and fear. A place to jot down on paper all the craziness going through her head. My hope is, once it's on paper, hopefully she can let it go, if only for a short while. 😢

So, when you're working with those really thick book covers from libraries, do you worry about the spine being the same thickness as the front and back covers? - thanks for doing another start to finish series - Hugs.
