• Interview with Nashville Voyager (December)

“I take pride in my workmanship, but also the energy and care I put into each piece. I know that each journal is being purchased with intention whether for one’s self or as a gift. Because I make journals, I hear so many stories of what people are going through. These books are containers for traveling to new places, memories from a grandparent, every kind of grief, gratitude journals, a journey through healing cancer, and countless others. I really appreciate that I can create a concrete tool for others to use. It can be a tool for healing or remembering or processing or recording or learning or painting, etc. I also appreciate the connection that it creates…between my customers and I but also my customers with themselves or their friends or family. A handmade journal is a rather intimate and thoughtful gift. It’s an honor to get to be a part of that.” Click to continue reading…
