A Note from Lisa THANKS for your interest in and support of Cheap Therapy. You help me transcend. This is our 18th year and we are grateFULL. As has been our foundation, since the beginning, at least 90% of our profit goes to various charities – including the Cheap Therapy Pay it Forward Grant, Honor Flight, Habitat for Humanity, the Brownies and the National Honor Society. I was kicked-out of the last two. So they hold a special place in my heart. I hope this catalog makes ordering your Cheap Therapy even easier. Greeting Cards pp 3 - 5 Journals & Specialty Books p 6-7 Posters pp 8 – 11 I send you all that is good and hope to create for you soon.

Handmade Journals I’ve kept a journal for more years than I can count. Because of that, I was almost going broke buying beautiful books to house my hopes, dreams, fears, prayers and even doodles. That’s one of the reasons I started creating my own handmade journals. Cheap Therapy Handmade Journals are available in three sizes: 5×7; 6×9, and 9×11 and are filled with 20 pages of handmade paper. All journals are covered with handmade paper and bound with a beaded stick. I even write a special message in the back of each book describing where I found the stick that binds it. I love to find sticks and I love to get them from friends across the country too! Please know that the images of all of my handmade books on these pages show just a FEW of the available cover papers. As with Life, the choices are infinite, but don’t worry, I’ll help you choose.

For couples planning their wedding, I've created Wedding Memories. This book is a wonderful way for the couple to record everything from why they are getting married to the details of their wedding and of course, plenty of space for photographs and memories. I've also created a Wedding Guest book that provides enough space for guests to leave a personal message for the couple. Both of these books are 9x12 and cover papers are wedding appropriate. $15.00 (WM or WG) My First Year is definitely not 'just another baby book'. In addition to providing lots of space for photos and memorabilia, it also provides a place to record all those precious firsts! This book is 9x12. Cover paper options are almost unlimited. $15.00
