Hi, I'm Kimmee — publication designer by trade, Little Golden Book rescuer by calling. From my very cluttered, very happy desk in Virginia, I turn well-loved vintage Little Golden Books into handmade journals, and design the pages that go inside them.

What started as making books for myself turned into the Storybook Designers Club with its monthly page drops, and a growing library of journals, planners, and ready-to-make kits.

Everything here is designed to be printed, cut, punched, and bound by a real person at a real desk. Cat supervision included. Caffeine required.

Make. Mess. Learn. Repeat.

In 2022, I lost my husband. In the middle of that grief, I went looking for a grief journal — something that felt like it could hold what I was carrying — and instead I found people turning Little Golden Books into journals. The books I'd grown up with, remade into something you could write your heart into. That was the spark. Every journal I make still starts there: a beloved old book, given a new story. Sometimes the new story is yours.
