New Travelers Notebook for Chiro-Sis

Ruth gave me a Tyrell's potato chip bag and asked me to make a 2017 planner for her. I did a travelers notebook. The materials I used:

• Kraft-Tex
• acrylic paints

And then Friday I'm in Love would come on and James would be all gothed-out and singing along because this would be the song he'd know. But Robert Smith would not sing along, because it wouldn't be Friday. Therefore he would not be in love.

Speaking of Friday, I'm in Love . . . here you go, on Monday.  Sorry, Robert.
