If you’re not feeling particularly crafty this holiday season, but still want to support all things thoughtful, handmade, and artistic – then I have the perfect gift idea for you!
My wonderful (and crafty) mother makes journals and notebooks from recycled and repurposed old books. They come in all shapes and sizes, and are just really stinking cute (and are available for purchase on her Sparrow Tracks Etsy site. In addition, all proceeds from December sales will go to Scarlet Cord Ministries here in Portland.
p.s. That darling pink notebook (pictured above) is only four dollars. Four dollars, people!
p.p.s My mom is awesome.
I love that you think your mom is awesome, and because you do, the cute little pink journal, and several others, are SOLD! Thanks for the tip. I hope they arrive before we travel for the holidays, becuase they’ll make terrific stocking stuffers!
Thanks, Lindsay, for the tip, and for supporting Good Ol’ Mom.
Hi! I spoke with you at a Sisters craft fair last year and my son and I walked away with an armload of journals! You said that you did custom orders and I am now ready to pursue this project. I have a couple Trixie Beldens, Cherry Ames, etc. What is the cost for each and do I choose the book’s pages to be inside the journal?
I am hoping to locate some books on camping, campfires/songs, etc. to gift my friends with at our annual summer camp reunion in August and would need in the area of 10-15 ones for that specifically.
You probably get the gist of my questions!
If you are too busy and this is not doable, I would certainly understand.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Thank you so very much!
