Jessica's College Survival Guide
I loved working on this project! It was so much fun putting a book together that actually had text to it! The book was titled "Jessica's College Survival Guide," and the author did a great job compiling all sorts of great tips and advice for a first year college student. There were eight chapters, with love notes from family members at the very end.

The most recent ones . . .
Two sets of journals have just been finished--
The first set included six mini journals with a sewing theme for a group of sewing friends. The title of each book on the cover was "Thoughts on Stitching," and on the inside cover, there was a black and white picture of three older ladies quilting. I tried to follow the olden-days, long-ago theme with the font and the print of the cover. Here they are:
The name plate:
The second set of journals included six large journals. These were to be used as gifts, and as requested, I used the "journal" theme for the title page quote. In each journal, it says, "I don't want to live in a hand-me-down world of others' experiences. I want to write about me, my discoveries, my fears, my feelings, about me." (Written by Helen Keller) Here they are:

Whew!
Finally! Christmas, a new baby, and a journal later, I'm posting again! Of course, I did go on break for a while after giving birth to Claire, but here is the most recent book I finished--just in time for my friend's baby shower.
It's a journal of 52 Love Letters from mom to baby. There are 52 pages, one for each week of the year, that way the new mom can write a letter each week describing the baby's developmental progress, milestones, idiosyncrasies, and stories to remember.
The inside cover has an envelope to hold the birth story. My birth story for Claire was definitely longer than half a page, so I thought to store it in the envelope in the cover. And the title page says, "Life, for us, would never be the same."
The back cover:
It's a great way to keep a journal, but not in journal form. I find writing a letter once a week to my girls alleviates the never-ending "I-need-to-write-in-my-journal" syndrome. Woohoo!

In the midst of being super-pregnant, I just finished these custom orders. I'm really excited with how they turned out.

Custom Orders
These are a few pictures of the recent custom orders I've done. One was a "Top 40 Things I Love About You" and the other two were "Thankful Thoughts" mini-journals. I'll post more of them as I get them done.
We had a great Thanksgiving with family. And what made it even better was that I got to help my sister make some medium-sized journals for her friends for Christmas. She did a great job, and I think they turned out beautiful!
