more journaling fun

As I mentioned in the last post, I have a give-away for you journalers or journal admirers. Dawn Sokol, author of 1,000 Journal Pages, has kindly offered one of her books (a signed copy) as a prize. Congrats to Dawn for having her books among the offerings at Anthropologie. That must feel like a nice stamp of approval, we all love that store so! Dawn's got other ways for you to journal with her over at her blog, both NaNoJouMo and her upcoming online class, {12.31}, so pop on over to see about those.

If you want to be entered in the 1,000 Journal Pages give-away book, just leave a comment on this post. I'll use random number generator to pick a winner this week. Let's say you have to leave a comment by Friday night midnight, and I'll announce the winner Saturday. I've got some journal pages in the book along with many many other artists. If you like looking at journal pages, you've got 1,000 here.  

And, for more journal inspiration, or if you want to journal, but don't know how to get started, Teesha Moore has some really great videos that walk you through her process, step by step. I think Teesha and Tracy did a great job putting them together, and you'll enjoy them whether a beginner or a regular journaler.

Ok, gotta go find my journals, all this talk about journaling has me itching to work in them!

{Ed: The book contest is over now, sorry to those that missed it!}
