Writing, like other arts, is a representation of life. Thus, the writer is compelled to live life more consciously. --Brad Wilcox

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!

More Custom Orders

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!

A New Size!

So my sister is a genius! I don't know why I never thought of doing a medium size journal, but when she suggested, I tried it out and LOVE it! I'm so excited about how perfectly it fits in my hands and how nice it looks.

Now there are three size options for journals:
The Large Journal (Measuring 8.5x5.5)

The Medium Journal (Measuring 5.5x4.25)
The Mini Journal (Measuring 4.25x2.25)
