My baby 'Smash' book

Hi you.

I totally keep forgetting to show you the freebie mini Smash book I got from  a giveaway on the Smash Stories blog ... so here it is:
Why, yes, indeed, I am one of the cool ones ... funny how they knew that, eh?  

As if it wasn't exciting enough [for someone with an extreme notebook habit] being sent a free, cute journal ... this is how itwas delivered. Is that not the most adorable packaging you could wish to find on your doormat?
And yes ... I've kept the envelope.

It even came complete with stripey paperclips:

And some words of wisdom about how to use the journal:
Then there's the illustration of a man in his knickers:
Complete with a printed vellum page to cover his modesty:
Finally. there were some wonderfully cool, useable, stickers tucked into the back:
It's even made from that kind of brown/kraft card that always tempts me to chew it ... and if it wasn't such a handsome item ... I probably would succumb to giving it a little nibble ...

BTW: As I've had this 'kraft smells tasty' conversation before - either here or on Twitter - I know that some of you know exactly what I mean!
There seem to be quite a few giveaways on the Smash blog so you might want to have a look there. In fact, I think they give away full size ones, not tiny taster versions like mine.

Ooh ... it's a 'taster' version ... maybe I'm not so crazy after all ....

Soon enough.

  4. Now, I've heard some people say "oh, it's just a glorified notebook" and I've heard other people say "that's really cool". It's looking pretty cool from here.

  7. I'm grudgingly admitting that is one very cool looking notebook and FREE! (The best kind!)

    Is it bad that I'm more in love with what it came in though?
