last year i bought my little (then 6-year old) cousin isabelle a notebook for christmas. very cute, it's teal with pink and black accents. the front has a little fairy in a tree with some birds flying around. i think there might also be some glitter involved. i was hoping she might write in it like a journal, although in hindsight i'm pretty sure 6 is a little young to start keeping a journal...just learning to read and write and all. well, i got sick with the flu xmas morning and never got around to delivering the gift...
