Altered Cigar Box and Journal

My dear friend Izzy surprised me on HER birthday of all days with a cigar box that I could alter and I couldn't wait to get to work on it! Here's what I came up with. The notebook is just a cheap dollar store coiled notebook that I picked up ages ago. I decided to alter it to match and even made a pen to go with it. I think I'll use the notebook for all the quotes I love off Pinterest and practice my penmanship and creative printing. Thanks so much for the surprise Izzy! I love how it turned out! More please lol
