Tears in a bottle...

This journal was created for a mother who miscarried/lost a child...  When I get these type of requests, I'm immediately a little bit nervous, because I want it to be just right.  It is my prayer that these little gifts from my shop will reflect the love and care that I've put into them.

I hope that it will somehow be a reminder that they are loved, that someone out there cares and I hope it's a place where they will feel safe to write down their thoughts and to maybe begin or continue their journey of healing.

Altered Journals and Mini Journals

These altered composition books can be used for anything. These particular journals were made to be prayer journals.  I usually get information such as favorite colors, styles, quotes, Scripture, hobbies, collections, etc. and then I go from there to try to make a special notebook for a special person.

 You can see more journals on our facebook page.

 We also carry MINI altered composition books in our Altered to Perfection store.  

 These mini-journals were made to be given to some special members of a book club.  The buyer wanted something that her friends could use to keep track of what they read. 

 You can also check out our shop by going directly to Etsy here.

 These little books measure 4.5" x 3.25" and are covered on the front and back.

Mini Altered Composition Notebooks/Journals

 Measuring in at 4.5"x3.25", these little notebooks are sure to put a smile on somebody's face.

 They are just the right size to put in your pocket or purse.  They make great gifts, stocking stuffers, door prizes, party favors, etc.

 I can design them in just about any theme, with 3D embellishments and possibly even a ribbon closure!

I never make two exact same items.  Every item is unique and hand-crafted just for you!

You're going to love these so much, you'll want one or two for yourself!
