Handmade Refillable Printed Leather Journal-Hubble Carina Nebula

Thu, 24 Sep 2009 06:36:52 -0400

$60.00
Are you looking for a special gift for someone? Do you want to give something that will become a permanent part of their life? If you would like to give a special gift to a loved one or even to yourself, we have a long history in providing such gifts.

Aristotle saw writing as a way to express "affections of the soul." Recent studies document that writing about feelings can alleviate depression, boost the immune system, lower blood pressure and more. Hand writing is used to combat loneliness and establish a sense of self.

***
With our new 'printed' leather journals, the sky is the limit... well, not really. :) Thanks to the world renowned and extremely vital Hubble telescope, we are able to 'see' into the vast reaches of space. I thoroughly enjoy gazing at these images, as well as pondering the deep mysteries of the heavens looking into an unending sea of stars and planets on a clear night.

About this image
This image of the Carina Nebula shows a region of tremendous star birth and death 7,500 light years away from Earth. The nebula is home to Eta Carinae, one of the most massive stars in the universe, prone to unpredictable, violent outbursts.

Handmade Refillable Printed Leather Journal-I Don't Know Bird

Wed, 23 Sep 2009 13:49:59 -0400

$60.00
Smart consumers have always sought after the best deals-and they understand that doesn't mean the cheapest price. They know that buying quality saves money in the long term-over the life of the product. My refill journals deliver tremendous value at the same time being functional works of art. Filling a cherished journal and dreading not being able to use it again yields to a more useful concept. Simply replace the inner workings with more quality paper into the broken in, worn in, intimate companion that has accompanied you on your journey-now that is smart purchasing.

*******

Sometimes when people ask you a question-you might not know the answer. I know it isn't often, but occasionally you may be confronted with it. ;) You may be tempted to muddle through, or try to beat around the bush, or fake it... don't. The right answer many times is a simple: I Don't Know. People (including yourself) will respect you more and everyone will be better off. :)

This image can be customized withe a different color scheme and different text. If you would like to customize and personalize this design, please contact me to discuss.
