We're reaching the end of the journal, there's only the other side of this endpaper left. You can really see the strain on the binding here, where all that stitching is exposed. That's not the fault of the bookbinder, it's the result of over-stuffing this book so much. I learned my lesson using a traditionally-bound book for this!

I left these pages of my journal mostly blank, other than adding the scrapbook paper on the left page of the first spread. I loved the pattern and colors of the coloring pages and didn't think they needed anything else.
