So I finally finished Laura’s birthday present. I’m only a few months late (her birthday is a bit after Halloween). But better late than never? … Right?

If anyone needs any orange ribbon for future projects, just let me know. I have 3 spools of it.

"What do you mean you’ve never accidentally glued your fingers together? Oh, well, you must not be a hardcore graphic design student like me."
— Overheard in the library.
