5 out of 5 starsThe book necklace I ordered is perfect! I'm so impressed with the love and attention Rachael put into her work, all the way down to her beautiful handwriting. The bookmark I ordered is gorgeous as well. Who doesn't love a premium bookmark? Rachael was great work with. She was able to customize an item and even included a hand-written note wishing my friend, the recipient, a happy birthday from me. I'm so glad she thought to do that, based on our quick chat before my purchase, because I completely forgot to ask if including a note would have even been possible. It sure would have been awkward if my friend had received a gift and didn't know who it was from. Just Terrific is just terrific! Thank you, Rachael!

5 out of 5 starsPurchased this as a gift for a very significant event. Brought literal tears to the recipient’s eyes and got a response of it’s absolutely beautiful. Rachael is a joy to work with and her work is impeccable and done with great care and love. Would order from her again and again and will be getting one for myself next!!!

5 out of 5 starsGorgeous, delicate, intricately well-made, exactly as I hoped it would be. I'm pretty sure my MIL will love it. (And if she doesn't, well, I'll have another awesome book pendant!)

5 out of 5 starsAbsolutely gorgeous little book. This is such a fun, funky pendant. I got it because I'd already gotten book earrings at ShopOne RIT made by this artist. I actually intended the pendant as a gift for my mother-in-law (who hasn't got pierced ears, so earrings are out as a gift). But it's a little funky boho for her... I'll have to try to find something a little more delicate looking. I kept it for myself because I love it so much.

5 out of 5 starsThese earrings are sooooo cute! I love them! Perfect for the bookworm in me! I got so many compliments the first day I wore them to work! They are super lightweight, and have a nice backing so I don’t have to worry about them falling out. Also, shipping was super fast!

5 out of 5 starsPerfect gift! I gave this as gift to my cousin. She recently authored a children's book telling the true story of our grandfather's capture and life at a POW camp during WWII. I used the miniature book pages to write to her my reflections on the story and our family. The craftsmanship of the miniature book is flawless and the glamorous touches are exactly what I was looking to find for her.
About JustTerrific
unique pieces that are always made with love and care
Because some things are better when written rather than typed, my books are ready for lead or ink. Whether it’s a journal entry, a pencil sketch, or just a jotted note, my books are useful for varying lifestyles. I hope to encourage individuals to archive their stories, big or small.
Named after a saying of my grandmother's, Just Terrific began in 2013, and focuses on handmade one of a kind books and fine art. In addition to creating new work, I also specialize in restorations and repairs of antique books.
My miniature books are created from upcycled leather goods, like purses and jackets, and paper offcuts from other larger book projects. I find it amazing how so much beauty can be contained in a tiny canvas. They are perfect for writing personal achievements, positive affirmations, quotes or even small drawings.
Each and every one of my books are handsewn and made with love and care.
