Look what I have

And look what Jan did in her spare time.  Over a week ago I went to the post office and was I surprised?  Yes I was.  There was a really adorable sketchbook.  Jan, a very talented artist (and blogging buddy), rebound a school reader and added drawing paper and a little gift card envelope and created this beautiful journal for me.  Just for me which means that no one has one just like this one.  Unfortunately, I received it around the time Zoe became sick so I didn't post about it or draw in it.  But now I have. 

Gertie didn't eat on Sunday which kind of scared me since she has the same kidney disease as Zoe.  So off she went to the vet this morning.  And $500 (yes $500) later, she's home with some new medication and feeling much better.  So of course I had to inaugurate the sketchbook with drawings of my other muse - My Girl Gert.  These are in crayon and this drawing paper has a little tooth to it so the crayon has some texture.  It is sooo nice.

And you can have one too (or more) from Jan's store on Etsy. 

And here's the cover and the gift pocket.

I'm glad you like it, and I'm very impressed with how good these drawings look in a 'book' (which you claim not to be able to draw in)! I'm glad Gert is OK. Talk about a money pit!

Ah soo nice ...

I especially like the ink (?) one on the page with the text ...

Hope you feel better Gerty!

What a lovely double page spread and a fine cover on the journal. Just today, I was musing about getting a cat or a dog - but the vet's fees these days! OMG! Maybe a budgie?
