In January 2020 I had the idea to make one-of-a-kind, quirky journals and sketchbooks with writing prompts and my own original art on the cover.
It makes me happy to create journals that encourage others to write! I hand letter each cover, and cut and bind each journal myself. Since I’m an archivist, of course they’re acid-free!
I also make bookmarks, notecards, upcycled pencil cans, ridiculous bird and flower clips, and more. I encapsulate vintage paper designs inside resin to and turn them into keychains and jewelry.
My Etsy shop, ArtsyArchivist, is currently on hold while I focus on selling at local craft fairs around Chicago. You can still visit Etsy to see my past sales. I can make custom journals, so please message me if you’d like more information.

The 4.5×6″ journals are a great alternative to a greeting card! I’m happy to send directly to your gift recipient. I’ll include a handwritten gift message and package it like this at no additional charge (above the shipping fee):
