“Enjoy Life More” Journal
A special journal to remember a lost loved one.
This special journal was created for Kirsti. Kirsti’s dad, Sandy, had been ill and nearly bed-ridden for some time. As his health continued to decline and without his family knowing, he wrote a couple goals for how he wanted to live out his final days: “enjoy life more” and “walk normal again.” Sandy unfortunately passed away in February 2020. After his passing, Sandy’s wife found these final notes. Of course, finding them meant so much to the family—and especially Kirsti. Kirsti now goes for a walk everyday to try to live out her father’s last wishes and this journal is a constant reminder to “enjoy life more.” The words you see on the cover are gold foiled in Sandy’s very own handwriting and taken from his original note.
The cover of this book uses a linen book cloth repurposed from a project for my day job.
The gold foil of the saying "enjoy life more" was made using a freestyle foiling pen.
The brown ribbon book closure was created from a pair of old pants and works lovely with this spare design.
The pages were printed with light lines, that make writing easier.
