If you read this, you already know the details but if not.

I make one-of-a-kind, hand stitched journals and sketchbooks.

Hopefully one day soon I will open an etsy shop until then I am going to K.I.S.S. (Keep It Simple Stupid) and just update this post with new journals and updated pricing.

I also make custom orders and requests, which is super fun. If you are interested in that check the FAQs below.

Custom Ordering

How Does It Work? I design /create the cover and email you a picture proof. This way you can tell me if you want me to tweak it (or you can say you just LOVE it ha). Once approved, I will send you the invoice via paypal. After payment is received, I hand sew the pages together and complete the journal. It will be mailed the next day.

How Do I Place An Order? Send me an email kristi [at] thekword [dot] com. You can tell me specifically what you want or give me a concept. Do you like a certain sports team? Have a hobby? Favorite place? Let me know what you are going to be using it for (writing, scrapbooking, sketching) so I can use the correct weight of paper as well.

When Will I Get It? For concept to sending you the proof usually takes 2 days. Then once the invoice is paid it goes out in the mail the next day. The rest of the journey is up to USPS.

How Much Will It Cost? For 40 blank page, 5 by 7 journals, it is $10 plus $4.00 for shipping. For 40 blank page, 8 1/2 by 11 journals, it is $15 plus $4.00 for shipping. For 40 blank page, 10 by 10 journals, it is $20 plus $4.00 for shipping.
