Custom Journal Fundraiser

As you all know I'm heading out on some new, exciting adventures, and I've been trying to think of different ways to make some money. I thought of this a couple days ago: 

Custom leather training journals!! :)

Details

I thought of these as gifts for my coaches, but then I thought that maybe it could be used as a fundraiser, too. I wish I had thought of it sooner! These are leather journals, with the cover design etched in with a woodburning pencil. It's kinda a pain, and it's stinky and burns my eyes, but I think the end result looks pretty cool!!

Mine (green above) was the first I made, then Khvostov's (red), then Kseniya's (pink). As you can see, the one I made myself looks pretty bad, but the last two look a lot better! If anyone DOES want one I'm going to be making an actual kettlebell stencil (these were done freehand) and using tracing paper to transfer nice font for the name.
Here's what the stencil will look like:



Small journal (paper 5.5" x 8.5") with kettlebell and your name (incl shipping) = $45
Large (paper 8.5x11) with kettlebell and your name (incl shipping) = $50
Large, top-bound (paper 8.5x11) with kettlebell and your name (incl shipping)= $55

If you're going to the Cali Open or you are within driving distance, take $5 off for shipping. :)
