This tiny journal 2.5" x 3" is one I made for Jim. He always carries index cards in his pocket to write down things he thinks of and doesn't want to forget.
Recently, he came home and said that he wished he had a small notebook to write some of the interesting information people tell him while he is acting as a docent at WAAAM (Western Antique Aeroplane and Automobile Museum) in Hood River, Oregon.
Since I am very much into making journals of all sorts and sizes, I decided to make a tiny one that would fit in his pocket. I printed out a photograph of his 172 sitting in the snow the first winter he bought it. The front half of the plane is on the front cover, the back half of the plane is on the back cover. Both covers were made of sturdy cardboard, so he could write without having to find a surface to put the notebook on.
He was very excited when I presented it to him. A few days later, he went to his regular Saturday morning breakfast with his pilot friends and showed it off. I believe some of them were actually jealous of that adorable little notebook with Jim's very own plane on the cover. Don't really know; but I guess they were.
