I want to post a little 'thumbs up' for this product! I ordered a small 'give' journal a few weeks ago, and it's YUMMY! Plus shipping was crazy fast, and the woman who owns the site is really a wonderful socially/ecologically conscious business owner and person. I feel pretty lucky that she lives so close to me :)
