1838 Blank Ledger with Hand-Marbled Cover and Leather Spine colors kit Done on heavyweight watercolor paper

Done on heavyweight watercolor paper and in very good condition with light wear to the corners

but not another like this older one by an unknown maker

though I like it a lot just on its own

as it was definitely made to stand up to heavy play

A perfect gift to oneself, I'd say, perhaps to be started on December 15, as its previous owner
