  • Our Story Journal

    This journal was commissioned as a gift for a couple, Becca and Zach, who were married this past weekend. It was very special for me to make. It has three sections, one section is ‘His Story’, the second is ‘Her Story’, and the third middle section is ‘Our Story’.

    Materials: Book board, leather, waxed thread, old pilots maps, lots of patience.

  • The Beirutista Journal

    The Beirutista and I have known each other since elementary school. It is only recently that I have realized just how much we both really have in common. Since she is now a full time resident of Lebannon, our gatherings are limited to her annual visits home to family. She has brought me some beautiful gifts from Lebanon, and so during her last visit, I decided to return the favor.

    Materials: book board, unlined paper, waxed thread, Sharpie, White Gel pen, leather & misc jewelry findings.

  • The Journey Begins Journal

    This is a journal I made a few months ago as a gift. There is a couple who is starting a new phase of life and a new journey. My prayer is that this helps them remember their steps.

    Materials: Scrap leather, waxed thread, book board, unlined paper, a vintage shutter clasp.
