On the ninth day of book gifting, Rural Mom suggests Journal Your Way: Designing & Using Handmade Books
I honestly wish I’d discovered this book earlier as everyone on my holiday shopping list would be getting hand-crafted journals this year, but they’ll just have to receive them for birthdays and other celebrations throughout the year! The ninth pick in our Rural Mom 12 Days of Book Gifting Suggestions is such a cool crafting guide, one I know I’ll turn to again and again!
Custom tailor a journal that’s just right for you! With step-by-step illustrations and instructions for more than sixteen formats and 10 cover styles, Gwen Diehn celebrates the art of making and using a personalized journal. Inspiring images showcase a rich variety of working journals, fascinating sidebars introduce longtime journal keepers, and nine lucky recipients of customized, handcrafted journals from the author share their own pages.
Two additional insert booklets, Bookbinding Essentials and Choose Your Own Bookbinding Adventure, explain basic techniques and guide you on your journaling adventure.

This looks like a great book to help inspire those homemade gifts. I would have used it in crafting my presents too.
I love the idea behind this book. I am like you- out of time to complete a project like this now, but there is always birthdays and next Christmas!
