\"\"I was all set to use another cheap sketchbook<\/a> hoping that it would turn into another Sketchbook from Heaven<\/em><\/a> when I found the sketchbook pictured above . This was also a Christmas gift purchased from a big box store by my wife. I got it; had a chuckle, and put it aside forgetting that I had it.<\/p>\n
