Some people can buy a normal notebook off a shelf and move on with their lives.

You are apparently not some people.

Give me your favorite things, colors, hobbies, pets, tattoos, caffeine dependency, inside jokes, and whatever collection of nonsense makes you you. I'll turn it into an original custom cover—not your name dropped onto a premade template. An actual design built around your particular brand of chaos.

Want sentimental? Fine. Dark and weird? Even better. Elegant with one mildly concerning detail hidden in the corner? Now we're talking.

Built to outlast the thought spiral

This is not a flimsy cardstock cover wearing a brave face. Each front and back cover begins with rigid 50pt book board, is wrapped in cotton canvas, and has your design printed directly onto the canvas itself. The artwork keeps the fabric's tactile, woven finish instead of looking pasted on.

Every notebook is square-punched and bound in-house with sturdy metal double-loop wire for a clean, durable finish that lies flat while you write.

How this works

  1. Order the notebook.
  2. Email your order number, photos, favorite things, preferred colors, and hard no's to awightson@outlook.com.
  3. I'll design the cover and email you a proof. One round of reasonable revisions is included.
  4. Once you approve it, I print, build, bind, and ship the finished notebook.

Starting-price details

The listed price is the starting price for this format. If your idea needs a different size, specialty interior, or unusually elaborate design work, I will quote the difference before proceeding. No ambush invoices. We're chaotic, not lawless.

I absolutely love how my notebook turned out. This was a very personal project for me, and I supplied custom artwork with a LOT of tiny details, so I was a little nervous about how well everything would translate to print. The finished cover came out beautifully—the colors are rich, the small details remained surprisingly clear, and the antique corner accents complement the artwork perfectly.

What I appreciated most, though, was the care and willingness to collaborate with me to get the finished product right. This was actually our second attempt at the project, and she was incredibly gracious about revisiting it and working with me until we landed on something I genuinely loved. The finished notebook feels personal, well-made, and uniquely mine. I’m so happy with how it came together.

Mandie, this one means more than you know. ❤️

Your notebook challenged me in all the best ways, and I’m genuinely grateful that you trusted me enough to let me take another swing at it when the first one wasn’t your notebook yet. Custom work should feel like the person it belongs to—not just something with their artwork printed on the cover.

Seeing all those tiny details come together in the finished piece made the second round completely worth it, and knowing that you opened it and saw something that finally felt uniquely yours? That’s the whole reason I love making these.

Thank you for your patience, your honesty, and most of all for trusting me with something so personal. I hope you fill every last page of it. ❤️

She did amazing work! Exactly what I was looking for ! Angie is an amazing artist and her work 100% shows!

Lori, thank you so much!! 🖤 Getting to take the weird little idea living in someone’s head and turn it into something they can actually hold is my favorite kind of magic. I’m so glad you love it. Thank you for trusting me to make it yours. ❤️
