In closing , I encourage everyone to use handmade books for anything and everything , any day , every day . You don ’ t have to buy mine ! It ’ s just pleasurable to use handmade books , for marvelous and messy and mundane things . Journals are beautiful on the outside and beautiful on the inside . Yes , beautiful on the inside ! Every time a journal is opened , it embraces our expression ( and then the book covers close ).
