I like to make things.
But I’m not too good at creating from scratch. I like to take what has already served its purpose and give it new options.
Like long-forsaken books at Goodwill. Or the well-intentioned stack of paper bags by the fridge.
After lots of practice, I’m ready to share my creations and ideas.

This was my first custom order, and I made it for a woman who was losing her battle with cancer – but winning at living her life. A journal serves as a sort of container, to hold the extra pieces, extra experiences, extra emotions that don’t always have a spot in our bodies.

An old census record and a new manilla folder came together for this beauty – that I ended up using myself. 🙂

What a fun book to pull apart! I’m always a sucker for maps and history, and there were many treasures to highlight in this project.
