New handmade journal, new watercolor

OK, my new handmade journal is done.  I couldn't decide what my first painting would be in the new journal.  It was this morning looking at my favorite subject that I finally got inspiration!  I'm happy with the painting, but I still need to work out the mechanics of making a journal.  I was able to assemble the watercolor paper with no problem.  It was the outside cover that I still need to perfect.  Even though I had put a ton of books on top of the journal to help the glue adhere to the cover, the cover did not dry flat.  So I know what I'm going to tell my husband I want for Xmas...a journal press!!
