Spotted! A Unicorn Notebook – love it!
LOVE this notebook! Perfect for my New-Year-Tidy desk (and clearly those unicorns have as much paying-attention skills as I have).

But in recent years, I was requested by the Mother In Law to create a photo calendar with the last year’s pictures of the children for her kitchen, which I willingly did. Last year, I could resist no longer and ordered a second copy for myself… and I have just thoroughly enjoyed completing this year’s. Apart from the joy seeing the...
