Altered book for a friend

I am sooo tired.  I went Christmas shopping yesterday and i think i'm well over half done with my gifts for this Holiday season.  Yippeee!!! I'm Honestly trying to get everything bought and everything made this Month. I just want to have a nice relaxing December without all of the hustle and bustle of stressing about Christmas. 

Anyway, one of my friends lost her best friend about a month ago and she asked me to make a book for her. She is planning on  giving it to her friends Daughter as a memory.

I made a mixed media cover for it that i really like.  Take a look.
