Oh is she going to be surprised can you show us a pic when she gets it?
Well--the rest of the story is that her birthday was several weeks ago! I didn't have the binding on it yet--but I gave it to her anyway and then brought it home to bind and sew little eyes on. I did not take a picture of her when she opened it---but she was speechless to begin with and then cried. I think she liked it :D
