Adventures in Bookbinding!

Last night I made a journal for myself, using the instructions from this tutorial.

If anyone else does bookbinding, I was wondering if you have any tips for beginners? Any advice at all would be greatly appreciated. Also, would it be possible to have the covers and the binding be one continuous piece? I'm assuming it's not a big deal, but my boyfriend thinks I should check to make sure I don't end up with a falling-apart mess.

Would someone measure a 10-year-old for me?

So, my 10-year-old (girl) cousin is coming to town tomorrow, and my mom just told me it's also her birthday. I made her a little purse last year (with a skull stenciled on it :D), and she loved it. So I thought I'd whip up a little wrist cuff for her, you know, to complete the en-saaahm-bleh.

But I just realized I have no idea how big I need to make this thing. She's an average-sized kid, but still, I have no clue as to the size of a 10-year-old's wrist. Would some crafty mama out there in Internet Land pretty please help me out?

Thanks in advance!
