I’m an artist and writer and like to say bad words for good reasons. So when I started painting the covers of composition journals, I guess I shouldn’t have been surprised when my clients started asking me where the F-bombs were on my journal covers.
That, pandas, is how the F*ck-It Journal was born. I thought while trying to scrub acrylic paint from my fingernails and ame up with a client-approved etsy shop description, which makes me smile. There really isn’t any greater validation than being reminded to embrace and celebrate my personality in my work as a creative. That, of course, and my love of F-bombs.
What do you think of the description?
“When the kids don’t listen to a word you say because if you have to tell them to clean their room One.More.Time…
When your husband has the man flu and actually gets to sleep because, ya know, he’s *dying*…
When your blog post didn’t go viral (again) even though it totally should have…
When Pinterest gives you a complex…
When life is sad & you can only share so much on Facebook…
When life is fucking amazing and you can only share so much on Facebook…
When you dream the dreams you want to remember…
When you dream the dreams you wish you could forget…
When you feel like a badass because you are one (but it’s taken you entirely too many motivational memes to figure out the obvious)…
When you have things to say and want to say them out loud without making a sound…
This, my friends, is where the #F*ck-It Journal comes in. The one pictured here has sold, but that’s paintbrushes and insomnia are for. These original & one of a kind, hand-painted, full-sized composition journals are perfect for you because you decide how to use it and get to have a say in how it turns out.

Is it your To-Do list? Your Dear Diary? Your time to yourself that you’ll protect like a woman possessed because, f*ck it, you deserve it?? Maybe your f*ck- journal is all of these. And that’s awesome. Maybe it’s none and you fill your F*ck-It Journal with sh*t that is entirely Not Anyone’s Business But Your Own.
That’s awesome, too.
