Today I started isotretinoin. And because I apparently cannot just take a medication and go about my business like a normal human being, I decided I needed to make an entire journal to document it. 😂

But somewhere between designing the cover and figuring out what I actually needed on the inside, I realized this really isn’t an isotretinoin journal. It’s a taking-care-of-Cher journal. And, if I’m being completely truthful, I haven’t always been very good at that. I can take care of everybody else. I can work all day. I can make things for people. I can remember what everybody likes, what they need, what needs to get done and where everybody needs to be.

Me? I’ll realize at 3:00 that I haven’t eaten lunch. I’ll forget how much water I’ve had. I’ve been terrible about keeping track of food basically my entire life. And if you ask me when some random symptom started, there’s an excellent chance my answer will be, “Ummmm… Tuesday? Maybe three weeks ago?” 😂

So right now, with isotretinoin added to my regular medications, Mounjaro, vitamins and supplements, workouts, nutrition, water, sleep and everything else I’m trying to pay attention to, I wanted ONE place to keep up with me.

Not an app. Not another notification on my phone. Something I could actually sit down with, write in and SEE.

So I made this.

Every day I can track what I ate, my protein and macros, my water, medications, workouts and steps, sleep, skin changes, side effects, mood and energy. And I gave myself plenty of room for “Something I noticed today…” because I want to be able to look back and recognize patterns instead of trying to remember them later.

And yes, those little water glasses have a system. 😂 Two = one Owala. Eight = four Owalas. If I finish a bottle, I color in two. Even I can keep up with that. 😂

But my favorite part of the entire inside is probably the simplest: Grace for today. Because if I’m going to spend the next several months paying attention to every dry lip, breakout, headache, mood, meal and gallon of water, I don’t want to accidentally train myself to only notice what’s wrong. I want to deliberately notice what’s good, too.

And then there’s the cover.

CHER
well lived. well loved. well cared for.

I didn’t realize how much those words would mean to me until I was holding the finished book in my hands. I know I’m well loved. I’ve certainly lived a very full life.

Maybe this season is about getting a little better at the well cared for part.

Of course, since it’s mine, there are pink koi, lotus flowers, ginger jars, bows, gold, a cross, an obnoxiously pretty gold coil AND a tassel. Because apparently hydration and dry lips require luxury stationery. 😂 But I love it. Like… really love it.

And I think maybe that’s part of it too. If I’m going to learn to do a better job taking care of myself, I might as well make that beautiful. 🤍

Made for Cher, by Cher.

Meet Rebecca. 💕

When Rebecca filled out her Notebook Style Profile, she gave me a combination that immediately made me want to start designing.

She loves bright, happy color, beautiful florals, a little bit of preppy pattern mixing, feminine details, and she wanted her Christian faith to be an intentional part of the design. She also gave me permission to have fun with it—which is always my favorite answer. 😉

So I took those answers and built her notebook.

Big watercolor peonies. Hydrangeas. Turquoise, pink and cream stripes. A little leopard because every good preppy pattern deserves an unexpected friend. 😂 Gold details, bows, and a beautiful cross woven right into the design.

But the inside may be my favorite part.

Instead of simply repeating lined pages, Rebecca’s book includes a custom MOVE • NOURISH • PRAY page—space to care for her body, nourish herself well, and make room for prayer. There’s also room for today’s prayer, Scripture, gratitude, and “Lord, help me…” because sometimes that last little box may be the one we need most. ❤️

And THAT is what I mean when I say these notebooks are bespoke.

You aren’t choosing Cover #7 from a catalog.

You tell me a little about you—your colors, your style, what you love, what you believe, what you actually need the book to do—and I create something that didn’t exist before you filled out that questionnaire.

Rebecca’s book looks like Rebecca.
And nobody else will have one exactly like it.

Designed by me. Printed by me. Bound by me. Made one at a time by Timid Lilly Designs. 💕

Meet Dianne. 💜

Another completely bespoke Timid Lilly journal — and this one is ALL in the details.

When Dianne’s questionnaire came back, imagine her answers looking something like this:

Favorite style: traditional, feminine, collected, a little Ralph Lauren
Favorite colors: burgundy, blue & white, warm neutrals
Favorite details: florals, chinoiserie, books, classic patterns
Animal print: YES — but make it sophisticated
Something meaningful: purple flowers for my granddaughter
Inside pages: journal pages — lots of room to actually WRITE

And then I got to play. This is why I love making these so much.

At first glance, you see the flowers. But then you look again. The blue-and-white chinoiserie ginger jars. The hydrangeas. The tiny berries. The layered vintage books. The burgundy ribbon woven together with leopard. The touches of gold. The little purple blooms tucked into the design specifically as a nod to her granddaughter.

And PLEASE look at that spine. 😭i carried the blue-and-white chinoiserie pattern all the way down the binding edge so that even when this book is sitting on a desk or stacked with other books, there is another beautiful detail to discover. Add the gold coil and that little gold tassel and OH MY WORD.

Even the back is designed. Not an afterthought. The pattern continues, the elements are rearranged into a completely new composition, and my little Timid Lilly Designs mark sits at the bottom like the maker’s mark on a piece of papier.

And then you open it. I chose a journal interior rather than a planner layout because this book needed room to breathe. Dianne didn’t need another page telling her where to be at 2:30 on Tuesday. She needed beautiful paper with plenty of uninterrupted writing space—for thoughts, prayers, lists, memories, notes, whatever she wants this book to become.

So the inside is intentionally quieter. Soft lines. A tiny cross. Florals tucked into the corners. A chinoiserie jar peeking up from the bottom. Just enough of the cover carried inside to make the pages feel special without competing with what she writes on them.

And yes, the pages are designed front AND back. Then there are all those little construction details that make these feel substantial in your hands: thick chipboard front and back covers, soft matte printed covers, rounded corners, gold coil binding, coordinating tassel, and full-size interior pages.

That side view might actually be one of my favorite pictures because you can SEE the layers. This isn’t a mass-produced notebook with a personalized sticker slapped on the front. It is designed, printed, assembled, punched and bound here by me.

There is depth everywhere you look. Burgundy + chinoiserie + leopard + hydrangeas + books + gold + one very intentional little touch of purple for a granddaughter.

It sounds like it should be too much. And somehow…it’s exactly enough.

That is what I want Timid Lilly to be. Not just personalized. Bespoke. A book designed around you—with tiny details that may mean absolutely nothing to anyone else, but mean everything to the person holding it.

And Dianne’s?
Ohhhh, she is PRETTY.

OH, KATHY!!! 🤍🌿 Another bespoke beauty from Timid Lilly Designs!

Y’ALL. I have made SO MANY of these books already, and somehow I fall in love with every single one. LOOK AT THIS ONE!!!

When Kathy filled out her design questionnaire, she told me she loved Chanel and Magnolia, classic and timeless designs, light neutrals, vintage botanicals and HYDRANGEAS! She loves her family, her little country church and the ocean. She wanted something beautiful and understated, with a subtle touch of her Christian faith.

And then she gave me creative freedom. MY FAVORITE PART!!! 🤍

So we took everything she told me and created a little Chanel-meets-Magnolia moment.

Soft ivory hydrangeas, muted sage, warm autumn browns, delicate vintage botanicals and ch*****ne gold details. A classic double-bordered nameplate personalized just for Kathy, with the sweetest little cross tucked beneath her name.

And can we PLEASE talk about that GOLD COIL AND TASSEL?! 😍

The back cover carries the same gorgeous botanical design, finished with my little Timid Lilly signature. Even the inside pages coordinate with her cover!

Speaking of the inside… I’VE STARTED PRINTING MY INTERIOR PAGES DOUBLE-SIDED!!!

Kathy wanted a simple, classic journal with plenty of room for her thoughts, memories and reflections. Nothing complicated. Just beautiful, coordinating lined pages waiting to be filled.

Every single one of these books is BESPOKE. Your colors. Your personality. Your interests. Your story. No two books are exactly alike, and that is precisely why I love making them.

NOW LET’S TALK ABOUT THE PRICE! 👀

I can just picture these sitting in a beautiful little high-end boutique on Nantucket with a $65–$85 price tag. The kind of gorgeous stationery you pick up, run your fingers over and immediately convince yourself you NEED.

But you don’t have to go to Nantucket. ⛵️

My introductory price is just $29 + tax!

YES. TWENTY-NINE DOLLARS for a bespoke journal designed, printed, assembled and bound just for YOU.

Here’s what you’re getting:

🤍 Personalized front and back covers adhered to sturdy chipboard

🤍 Beautiful soft matte finish

🤍 30 interior sheets, now printed on BOTH sides!

🤍 Custom-designed coordinating interior pages

🤍 Gorgeous gold coil binding

🤍 Optional coordinating tassel, when available

🤍 Free pickup in Cabot or shipping available

🤍 Typically ready within 48 hours

And remember, $29 is my INTRODUCTORY PRICE! I’m celebrating the launch of these beautiful books, so now is the time to order yours!

I have created so many of these already, and I’m having the BEST time. Every time I finish one, I stand back and look at it like… I MADE THAT?! 😂

The colors. The details. The way the covers feel. The coordinating pages. That beautiful gold binding. I just cannot get over how these are turning out.

But more than anything, I’m feeling incredibly blessed.

God gave me a mind that never seems to stop creating. Sometimes I have more ideas than I know what to do with! But getting to use that gift to make something that brings happiness to someone else’s heart?

Oh, what a blessing that is. ❤️

There is something so special about creating a book that is uniquely someone’s. Not something pulled off a shelf. Not a mass-produced design. Something made specifically with THEM in mind.

Thank you to every single person who has trusted me to create something special for them. You have absolutely no idea how much joy this little business is bringing me right now.

And Kathy, I hope you love your book as much as I loved creating it! 🤍

THE ART OF BESPOKE PAPIER.

An exceptionally personal creation by Timid Lilly Designs.

OH. MY. GOODNESS….

This one is MINE. And I cannot stop looking at it. I wanted something that celebrated my Vietnamese roots, my Catholic faith, my love of beautiful things and the beautifully chaotic life I live as a wife, mama and business owner.
Deep burgundy reds. Rich emerald and teal. Swirls of gold. Magnificent koi swimming among lotus blossoms. Delicate gold detailing. A little cross. My name. And that GOLD COIL. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!

But you guys… THE INSIDE. 😭

I didn't want another pretty planner that I'd use for three days and abandon. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I wanted something designed around the way I actually live.A place for my three biggest priorities each day. An hourly schedule. A proper to-do list. Room for all the ideas constantly running through my head. And at the bottom of every page, three little reminders that matter tremendously to me. MOVE. NOURISH. PRAY. A place to record my workouts and movement. A little space to be intentional about nourishing my body. And a dedicated space for prayer, because I want my faith woven into my everyday life, not squeezed in when everything else is finished.

Even the interior artwork carries through from the cover. The koi, the lotus blossoms, the swirling gold water. Every single page feels like it belongs to the book.

AND THE BACK COVER?! My Timid Lilly signature nestled among those gorgeous koi. I could stare at these details all day.

Here's what I want you to understand about Timid Lilly. Every single book I create is BESPOKE. Not a generic notebook with your name slapped on the front. Not a mass-produced planner with a different cover. Your colors. Your aesthetic. Your interests. Your profession. Your faith, if that's something you want incorporated. Your name. Your personality. Your LIFE.

And the inside? We can customize that, too. Maybe you're a teacher who needs space for lesson plans and family schedules. A realtor juggling showings and clients. A busy mama trying to keep everyone organized. A business owner with approximately 47 ideas before breakfast. 🙋🏻‍♀️ Or maybe you simply want a beautiful place to organize your day.
We design it around YOU.

From the front cover to the back cover, from the layout of your pages to the tiniest decorative details, everything is thoughtfully brought together to create something uniquely yours. No two bespoke Timid Lilly books need ever be the same. And every one is printed, assembled, punched and bound by ME, right here in my little studio.

I know I'm supposed to be selling these, but I'm having a VERY difficult time getting over the fact that I actually MADE THIS. 😂❤️

This is why I love what I do.

Not just stationery. Bespoke papier with a personality.

Y’ALL. 😭🌸🐟

I cannot tell you who this one is for just yet, but CAN WE TALK ABOUT THE DETAILS?!
The koi fish. The hibiscus. The soft pinks and gorgeous greens. The little touches of chinoiserie. THE GOLD COIL. And then you open it… OH MY WORD.

This isn't just a pretty notebook. It's a bespoke planner designed around someone's actual life. A place for daily intentions, priorities, appointments, little moments, gratitude and memories worth keeping.

And YES, there's even a little spot for a photo or sketch because I know when the recipient was little, she loved art and music and to draw. Because sometimes the smallest moments become the ones we treasure most. 🥹

Every single detail was intentional. From the coordinating pages to the sturdy chipboard covers, soft matte finish and beautiful gold binding. Designed, printed, assembled and bound right here at Timid Lilly.

I wish I could show you who this belongs to, because that makes it EVEN MORE SPECIAL. But for now, my lips are sealed.

I will say this, though. The details are where it's at, and THIS is why I absolutely LOVE creating personalized pieces. Not just someone's name on a pretty cover. Something made specifically for THEM. And I might have a little trouble parting with this one. 🤣💕

I think I just made personalized notebooks WAY more personal and I am ridiculously excited about this. I’ve been making these notebooks completely by hand — designing them, printing them, mounting the covers to sturdy chipboard, rounding the corners, printing the inside pages, punching them, binding them with a gorgeous gold coil and packaging them myself. And they are SO. PRETTY.

But I kept thinking… if I’m going to call something personalized, I want it to be more than putting your name on a cover. I want it to feel like YOU. So I made a little Notebook Style Profile. It asks you about the designers and styles you’re drawn to, your favorite color palettes, the season that feels most like you, patterns you love, things you absolutely don’t love, interests that matter to you, whether you’d like Christian/faith elements incorporated, and even how much creative freedom you want to give me.

And then we go one step further: We design the INSIDE around you, too. Prayer and faith. Work. Teaching. Planning. Journaling. Home and family. Creative ideas. Everyday notes. A little bit of everything.

You tell me how you actually want to use your notebook, and I take it from there.

No trying to explain your entire personality to me through 37 Facebook messages. No trying to figure out exactly what you want the design to look like.

You tell me about YOU. I design the notebook.

Each notebook is $29 + tax and includes:

• Personalized front and back covers
• Sturdy chipboard front and back
• Soft matte printed covers
• 30 beautifully printed interior sheets
• Customized interior design based on how you’ll use it
• Rounded corners
• Gold coil binding
• Designed, printed, assembled and bound by me right here in Cabot
• Free local pickup in Cabot
• Shipping available

And yes — if faith is important to you, there is a place in the Style Profile to tell me whether you’d like that reflected in your design. ✝️

I am genuinely SO excited to see what combinations you guys give me. Ralph Lauren + fall + equestrian? Lilly Pulitzer + summer + florals? Classic + patriotic? Chinoiserie + faith? Give me something I haven’t even thought of yet.

Personalized Prayer Journals 🤍

I made one for myself and immediately knew I needed to offer these. Because ohhhh my goodness. The finished book is even prettier than I pictured it in my head.

These are completely handmade by me — and when I say handmade, I mean: I design the artwork and personalize it, print it, build the covers, print the interior pages, punch it, bind it and package it right here in my little studio.

The front and back covers are made with sturdy chipboard and finished with a soft matte printed paper, so the journal has that substantial, luxurious feel when you pick it up. The gold metal coil is just 🥰. And the colors printed SO beautifully.

The inside might actually be my favorite part.

Each journal includes 30 Daily Prayer pages on paper that feels almost silky in your hands, with dedicated space for:

Praise & Gratitude • Scripture • My Prayers & Intentions • People I’m Praying For • Reflection

The backs of the pages are intentionally blank, giving you another 30 pages for longer prayers, notes, Scripture, sermon notes, journaling… whatever you need.

And yes, I added a cross to the cover. 🤍

These are personalized with your name and designed individually, so yours doesn’t have to look exactly like mine (it can though). Different colors, flowers, style, personality — tell me a little about who I’m making it for and I’ll create something beautiful for them.

Personalized Prayer Journal — $29 + tax
✨ 30 designed prayer pages + 30 blank backs
✨ Sturdy chipboard front & back covers
✨ Soft matte cover finish
✨ Gold metal coil binding
✨ Personalized design

I genuinely cannot get over how beautiful these turned out.
