Timeless and classic...an elegant, yet useful gift for the stylish person in your life (or yourself!) who likes to keep things simple. Designed in basic black with white wording, this personal writing journal will be customized on the front cover, back cover and spine in the design/style as shown. A full name (or short phrase) can be added to the front cover and binding. The year can be removed from the front and binding at your request. If you would like different text where the year is on the front, that's fine too. The back cover will have your choice of a 3 letter monogram or wording...a quote, scripture or special message. If you want to keep it really simple, you can leave the back cover blank. Layout sample are included in the listing photos.

The journal took 12 days longer than expected to ship, but the shop owner was great at communicating and gave me updates about the process! She even upgraded my shipping, so it got here extremely quickly once it did. The journal itself is also perfect and going to make an amazing gift! Would definitely recommend.
Super quality and great customer service!
It was absolutely beautiful! My girlfriend loved it! Thank you so much!

I absolutely love this journal! It is beyond what I expected honestly. It is such fantastic quality! The personalization is exactly as I asked for it to be! Absolutely amazing product! So happy!!

Loved this surprise gift and so did the recipient! The quality of the finished product is perfection. Barbara was very helpful and accommodating to my questions regarding adding a little more personalization to this gift. It was very pleasant to speak with her and receive answers within minutes which helped me decide to place my order without any concerns over the time it would take to receive, given the delays everyone is having due to Covid-19. It arrived just in time for Father’s Day!
Miss Barbara helped me create a dream come true! I ordered this book as a gift for my boyfriend who dreams of writing a book. Miss Barbara helped me to make his vision come to reality. She went above and beyond in communication and effort to make this book exactly what we wanted it to be. Thank you so much Miss Barbara this was such a great gift and was received with so much gratitude. Thank you for working on this and providing excellent customer service.
This journal turned out perfectly. I love that I was able to review the proof before it was created and it turned out beautifully.
I loved it. Everything that I had asked for they did it. I’m really impressed. ??
I just received my customized journal today and it is PERFECT! My order was a gift so I was running on a tight deadline. The seller, Barbara, was extremely conscious of my deadline and worked hard to ship the product out early to me. We ran into a shipment issue (USPS fault) and she worked quickly and diligently to fix this issue. I would 10/10 buy from her again.
Exceptional customer service. Great product. Shipped quickly and seller communicated early in the process and was very friendly. I’ll find a reason to buy from this seller again, thanks for everything!!
This journal is beautiful. Very well made. I’m completely in love with my journal.
This is such a nice journal! Compact size which it makes very portable but also sturdy. The customization is exactly as discussed with vendor and the turnaround was fast. I bought it for my husband who is venturing into writing so I think this will be a nice inspiration for him. Thanks again!
Absolutely perfect! Ordered the journal as part of a gift for my hubby’s milestone birthday, and it’s everything I hoped it would be an more. Thanks so much!!!
My journal looks amazing, especially the quote on the back!
Love it! It came pretty late, but I ordered it when USPS was having a lot of orders and delivering later than usual.
This turned out beautifully and the owner was so quick to answer any questions I had before I ordered!
I highly recommend this writing book. Its a very special gift and I love it. Delivery was pretty fast too. Thanks!
I’ve ordered from this company for 3 years in a row with no doubt. I’ll de doing it again next year. Thank you
Prompt and exactly as pictured! The seller was very responsive to my questions.
I’ve bought multiple pads for three years and they have always done great work!!!
Phenomenal customer service. And the journal is perfect. Thank you!
Such an amazing gift! It arrived safely & was definitely made with a lot of care! Thank you again so so much!
Gorgeous gift for my boyfriend. Was able to fully customize it, receive the proof within a few hours and was shipped on time. Really happy with this purchase.
Size of the journal was smaller than I anticipated, but that’s my fault for not reading the dimensions. Customer service was excellent, shipping was faster than expected, and it’s a quality product. Thanks!
Firstly, customer service was beyond appreciable! The journal came beautifully made, and I would readily consider this as a gift in the future. My nitpick is its durability. I'm outdoorsy and after a couple days, wear was more than noticeable. But nowhere did it say this was meant to endure my lifestyle, so I have no real critique. I do not regret buying this.
One of my best purchases ever made! I use it a personal journal. The right side has lines and the left doesnt. I thought this would have been an issue in the first place, but it’s perfect! I journal my day on the side with the lines, and then on the other i tape up a daily pic or stickers, decorate it!
It was beautiful Thank you!
This book was perfect! Extremely high quality all around and the seller was quick to provide me a mock up to approve. Will definitely be buying more in the future!
The journal exceeded my expectations! I already knew it was going to come out beautiful, but in person it was beyond that. I really love it! The seller was BEYOND patient and helpful, and even helped me make decisions for the journal can look its best! If I could, I would give more stars!
This notebook is absolutely beautiful! I’m going to write in it and give to my fiancé on our wedding day. I am so pleased with how it turned out.
I’m so happy with the final product - especially the design. Easy to purchase, too.
This custom book was exactly what I was looking for. The seller contacted me before she finalized it to make sure I was happy with the layout. Perfect!
Always does great work!
Was just what we were looking for!
She emailed me a proof but unfortunately I couldn’t answer because ETSY makes it so hard to update your email.
High quality notebook with professional personalization.
Miss Barbara is very quick! The journal I purchased is beautiful and high quality. Very very pleased with my purchase!
very professional and great quality.
This is very well made and exactly as pictured!
I order 3 customs Journal. What can I say: THEY ARE AMAZING & BEAUTIFUL!!! Way above my expectations. Super Fast Answer to my questions prior placing the order and really fast shipping. Thank you again so much.
it's perfect! I ordered a customized piece. I contacted Barbara about adding a title on the front of the journal and she agreed to do so. it came out beautifully and exactly what I had in mind for this gift. My husband loved it. customer service was top notch. Delivery was amazing, it was actually due to ship today 2/22 and I RECEIVED it today, which is amazing! Great seller and will be ordering again!
The book came exactly as described. The printing was nice and clear and exactly what I was looking for. It was a gift for my sister who likes simple, classy, and minimalistic designs. I am a little disappointed that the pages are lined on one side and blank on the other side, but that is my fault for not double checking because there is literally a picture of it on the posting. Either way, it is a beautiful journal and I would buy again!
It came out perfect!!! I can’t wait to give it as a gift.
not what I was expecting
