Welcome to Creating Options
Inspiring gratitude, reflection, and joy—one page at a time.
At Creating Options, we design inspirational notepads that encourage gratitude, reflection, and mindful writing. Each notepad is created to help you slow down, celebrate meaningful moments, and find joy in everyday life.
Hi, I'm Diane Weaver
I’m a friend, daughter, mother, grandmother, aunt, sister, cousin, niece, business owner, and neighbor—and I am Living My Best Life!
I founded Creating Options in 2005, the same year I retired from a 33-year career in government service. Over the years, I learned that thoughtful dialogue—both internal and external—is a powerful tool for cultivating calm, connection, and joy.
Now, I bring that same intention into every Creating Options notepad. From gratitude notepads to reflection notepads and positive affirmation notepads, each one is designed to inspire joy, spark connection, and create meaningful stationery gifts that leave a lasting legacy of love and positivity.
Why Notepads?
I believe in the power of writing to uplift, connect, and heal. Our inspirational notepads give you a space to:
✓ Capture gratitude and reflections
✓ Celebrate the seasons and special moments
✓ Write, reflect, and grow
Even just a few lines can help you focus your thoughts, calm your mind, and rediscover what’s good and possible.
Our Vision
