This Is It! Creations, from Jacksonville, Oregon, has created a line of environmentally friendly journals that inspire individuals and ultimately benefit animal welfare. Their focus since 2005 has been in creating eclectic handmade gifts that encourage reflection, appreciation of the moment and remembering what is important in life. Their motto, "freedom from the ordinary ~ freedom for the animals," applies to their creations and to their lives. This Is It! Creations currently donates 5% of their profits to animal welfare groups such as the Jane Goodall Society and Best Friends Animal Society.
The paper used in making these endearing journals is either 100% recycled or a special blend of paper made from the lokta bush of Nepal. The cultivation of the lokta bush provides an environmentally sound, self-sustaining natural resource. If cut eight inches from its base, the lokta bush grows back to full size and can be harvested again in only four years! The long fibers are extremely durable and the plant is a natural insect repellent, making it perfect for a long-lasting journal. In a true commitment to sustainability, even the packaging of these lovely journals is biodegradable and compostable!
A journal from This Is It! will make an inspiring and unique gift for yourself or a loved one. Be sure to come in and see the fantastic creations from November's Artist of the Month!
