Recent Discoveries #1: May Books
MAY BOOKS: After seeing these on GMA and over on Elements of Style, I couldn't help myself and created 6 - SIX!- styles that I love for myself. I have no idea which to get, do you? $17 is not a bad price for 5x8, canvas covered books with 80 pages. These self-professed paper dorks are winners in my book, haha. Bonus: you can get wedding diaries, meal diaries, and baby bump diaries. Truly covered for all occasions!
