Each thoughtfully curated gift product is based in biblical truth and sparks a reminder of how God reveals beauty in the midst of our ordinary.

Throughout literary history, willow trees have been symbols of growth, balance, learning, healing, and harmony. Since willows often grow near streams or rivers, the name Ink and Willow was inspired by the verse in Psalm 1 about the person who delights in God and therefore is deeply planted and able to thrive, bearing fruit and prospering through every season. The word ink has a dual meaning, first as a nod to the act and art of printing words on paper, and then, in the sense that ink symbolizes life. In combination, Ink & Willow becomes the perfect metaphor for what this thoughtfully curated line of products is designed to do, which is to inspire, nurture, and engage Christians.

Every Little Thing Quill Be All Right


 The perfect little pick-me-up and motivational hedgehog high five we all need, with full-color photographs and encouraging, self-care messages of mindfulness from an adorable little hedgehog


Some days are chillier than others, and I end up feeling a bit prickly. But it’s funny how those are usually the days when the friends who don’t mind my quills hold me even closer.

Cinnamon, the beloved hedgehog of professional photographer Audrianna Martin del Campo, inspires thousands online with her presence in adorably posed scenes. Now Cinnamon brings her one-of-a-kind inspiration to the written page in 
Every Little Thing Quill Be All Right, which pairs forty-five of her popular full-color photographs with original, sweet mini-messages of encouragement. 

Written in the “voice” of Cinnamon herself, this fun little gift book is divided into seven sections that allow her photographs to be experienced in a whole new way:

• Time to Sniff Out an Adventure
• Time to Forage and Gather Quills
• Time for a Hedgehug
• Time with a Prickle of Friends
• Time for a Hedgehog High Five
• Time to Nest at Home
• Time to Hibernate

There’s a time for everything and a season for every activity (including moments when you want to curl up and hide). So whether you’re feeling anxious, stressed, or a little confused about this big job called life, remember that none of that is who you really are. You are loved and beautiful. And sometimes all you need is a happy hedgehog friend to remind you of that.

Everyday Joys Devotional by Tama Fortner


 This inspiring devotional invites you to discover the divine joys of the “ordinary” moments of each day, offering a powerful way to maintain your spiritual rhythms in between daily responsibilities and to-do lists.


Do you ever feel like the moments of life are passing by in a blur of ordinary as one day fades into another? Do you ever catch yourself wondering, 
Have I really lived this day? Or have I missed what matters most?

Everyday Joys Devotional is an invitation to seek God and recognize His divine presence in even the most “ordinary” moments. Whether folding clothes, tackling the day’s to-do list, or wondering how fingerprints got on the ceiling, you can join bestselling author Tama Fortner in seeing and experiencing joys on the holy ground right where you are.

With forty short, sometimes humorous and always real and thought-provoking devotions, this interactive devotional invites you to ponder the possibilities of a life lived fully in the presence of God. Each devotion offers a prayer, a point to ponder, and prompts for journaling and reflection, along with a practical yet poignant takeaway to encourage you to draw nearer to the heart of God. The peaceful, foliage-inspired artwork throughout the devotional promotes a mindset of rest even in the busiest lifestyles. Because the entries are numbered but not dated, you can follow this journey during Lent, Advent, or at any other time of year.

Rather than adding yet another item to already overloaded to-do lists and schedules, this joy-filled devotional invites you to view every moment as a moment to be lived on holy ground—because God's divine presence is always with you, waiting to be discovered at the intersection of ordinary and divine.

The Bible is Funny Card Game

 

Since Bible verses are always being taken out of context, why not make a game of it? This hilarious card game of creating your own unexpected combinations is perfect for families, friends, and small groups—ages 12 and up!

An excuse I would use to get out of going somewhere...

  • I am very old. Joshua 23:2
  • My breath is offensive. Job 19:17
  • My back is filled with searing pain; there is no health in my body. Psalm 38:7


With 70 prompts and 165 Bible verses spread out across 200 cards,
 The Bible Is Funny Card Game invites players with an abundance of Bible knowledge as well as those with no prior Bible experience to match out-of-context biblical verses with prompts about everyday situations to win the funniest pairing. The verse cards in the deck feature obscure, ludicrous, or downright outrageous Bible verses pulled completely out of their original context. The prompt cards offer fun, contemporary situations into which those Bible verses can be inserted, with topics ranging from family dynamics and dating to popular culture and the workplace. Players can cast lots or go with the Noah (most pets) or Sarah (best laugh) rules to decide who will be the Theologian first, and then begin the battle to see who will earn the most "Treasures in Heaven" (points).

From the creator of The Bible Is Funny podcast and Instagram and suited for Bible enthusiasts and novices alike, this card game will ensure that you never look at an out-of-context Bible verse the same way again!

Stuff we Fight About Conversation Cards for Couples


 Strengthen the relational foundation between you and your partner by entering into the real, important, and in-depth conversations sparked by these 125 practical prompt cards.


Inspired by the gap that exists across many relationships—one of unmet expectations, unfulfilled hopes, and a failure to communicate—
Stuff We Fight About invites couples to express their preferences, pet peeves, assumptions, and major life goals in a safe and low-pressure context. By engaging in these vital conversations instead of pushing their differences under the rug, couples will preempt any fights before they happen and will fortify their relationship—whether dating, engaged, or married—and gain the added benefit of being more fully known and loved.

With 125 beautifully designed cards, this unique deck offers couples a helpful catalyst for conversations in five categories, with prompts such as:
  • Day to Day: What are your usual routines when waking up and getting ready for bed?
  • Pet Peeves: How do you squeeze the toothpaste onto your toothbrush?
  • Big Ones: How was money talked about in your home as a kid?
  • Holidays: What is a family tradition that makes you feel the Christmas spirit?
  • The Future: What do you want to accomplish in the next five years, both personally and as a couple?

Designed to be used at home or on the go, Stuff We Fight About teaches couples to communicate about foundational topics, sets a standard for vulnerable conversations, and breaks the fragmented patterns that wound relationships. With a hint of humor, and a lot of practicality, these cards will help prepare couples to create patterns of authentic conversations in their day-to-day lives.

She is passionate about teaching others how to live to their fullest potential.

Smith’s Rocketown Youth Services as the Director of Marketing and aided in Family Outreach.

The 3-minute Journal of Joy


 Celebrate what brings you joy by journaling for just three minutes a day, creating a three-year record of moments worth remembering.


The best way to find joy is simply to look for it every day. Maybe you’ll experience it in the tickle of a kitten’s whiskers against your face, the gentle quiet of the season’s first snowfall, the luxury of a few minutes all to yourself, or the sound of heartfelt laughter with friends. Even on days where nothing seems to go right, 
something around you can brighten your mood and change your outlook if you just spend a few minutes focusing on it. And if you spread that joy to others, their day will be brightened alongside yours.

With this in mind, allow 
The 3-Minute Journal of Joy to be your guide as you record moments of blessing and cultivate an overall posture of joy.

Each day, you will be presented with a set of three prompts:

• One word to describe today
• What brought me joy
• How I spread joy

At the end of the year, you will have a beautiful record of joy-filled moments. Feel free to start the journal at any time of year, and remember there’s no pressure if you miss a day or two. As you “stack” joy on top of joy, your practice of recognizing the blessings of each day will develop into a habit and eventually an attitude of joy that you can carry with you for years to come.

The Daily Bible Project By Ink and Willow


 For anyone looking to deepen their spiritual walk by reading through the Bible in a year, this keepsake journal offers a reading schedule with daily Scripture assignments and room to record three years' worth of responses.


Derived from the popular Daily Question series, The Daily Bible Project follows the same three-year structure in this new keepsake journal. Instead of a prompt, however, each page offers a Scripture reading assignment for the day, along with brief journaling spaces to fill with your favorite verses or your own questions and revelations experienced while reading.

The daily reading plan is specially designed to keep you on track but not overwhelmed:
    The daily readings are chronological but include chapters from the Old and New Testaments.
    Each day's reading prompt assigns roughly three chapters of Scripture.
    You'll read through the entire Bible each year, for three years.
    Indicating just the Scripture reference, the journal can be used with any Bible translation or version.

With room for three years' worth of responses, The Daily Bible Project offers a unique opportunity to track your spiritual growth and progress year over year.

This is such an easy to use Bible Planner and the pages are dated Like Day 1 Day 2 and so on it has the books of the Bible listed by day as well.  This would make a wonderful gift also. 
I love that it is a 3 year planner so you can go back and read your thoughts from a few years ago.
I gave this Bible planner 5 stars and I hope you grab a copy.
