Valentine's Day Give Away!

 "pretty in pink"

Comments are reeeeeeeally nice,

 and yet not necessary for most posts that I write.

But a give away?  

Well, I'm gonna need some comments.

"painterly pansies"

Do you feel like you are being bribed?

It's not a bribe. It's a gift!! A sweet little valentine gift for you made by me.

"puppy love"


I had so much fun putting these journals together.
Thank you Jeanne Oliver for the inspirational class.
I have lots to say about that class and that amazing lady, but that's a for another day.


"graceful grays"


The  journal covers are made from old book covers, vintage papers, lace, old trinkets, and trims.

Inside is a variety of beautiful papers for you to fill with your thoughts and dreams.

Each journal has a personality of it's own.

I do hope you see one that you like, or maybe one you'll pass on to a friend.


"climbing rose"

All you have to do is leave your name and a comment,
telling me which journal you would like to win.  

Then I'll have Jacob randomly pick one commenter's name out of a hat.  
(Believe me, Jacob values fairness at all costs and will be most trustworthy with this assignment.)  

The winner will be announced here on Friday.  
I guess that means you'll have to come back and see if you are the winner. Isn't this fun?

"English garden"

So why am I so n-n-n-n-nervous?

Because if there are no comments it can only mean two things:
1. There are no readers, which is rather discouraging in and of itself, right?
2. The reader doesn't want the prize. Break my heart why don't you!

(a peek at the inside)

Maybe you are just too shy about this commenting thing.  Don't be shy!  Do you have any idea how fun it is to meet you?  I've met some really great people through blogs, and I'd love to meet you.  If we already know each other, please say hello and tell me you're there.  Somebody please tell me I'm not crazy for doing this.  Do I sound like I'm begging?  Bribing and begging?

(another peek)

I hate to sound desperate. I'm really not. 
I'm just excited to share a little something that has brought me so much joy.
Maybe it will bring you some joy too!

(detail)

Okay?

Here we go.  Drum roll please......

Are you so excited?

I can't wait to see which one you like.

Mostly, I can't wait to "see" YOU!

  6. Kristi,
    But I am inspired by them all! Love the "puppy love" denim book cover and that simplicity... think coffee table display book! I think that would love to shop for some more vintage laces and buttons and have you create one for me using things that were from my Grandma and remind me of her! Are you game?
    Keep creating!
    Jane
