{Great Giveaway} Handmade Journals from Gadanke

***This giveaway is now closed, but you can still find fabulous handmade journals at Gadanke!

Today I’ve got a great giveaway for you all to enter:  Katie, the blogger behind Making This Home, is generously offering all you wonderful readers a chance to win a journal from her shop, Gadanke.

I’m so excited, because Katie’s handmade journals are a product that I truly, truly love.  They contain many inspiring writing prompts that inspire you to document your story.  Here’s a few examples:

{The Little Things} Listing Thankful Thoughts

“Sometimes we just need to sit down and embrace the little details that make life good.” Made from 100% recycled papers held together with a beautiful Italian paper and sewn binding, {The Little Things} will have you thinking of those thankful thoughts:

~~~

{She:  Me, My Life, My Days} ~ Personal Journal 1.0

One example is the {She: Me, My Life, My Days} journal.  I write in mine at my local coffee shop, taking a little bit of time on the weekends to explore who I am – and it really inspires some powerful insights.

When Katie first released this journal, she described it on her blog:

They help create the story of you your likes, your loves, your lists, and the things you secretly crave. The unique writing prompts and fill-in pages help you explore your inner world – who you are and how you define yourself, not just how your day-to-day has gone. It’s the kind of book you can pull out years later and say, “This was who I was.

This page reads: “The truth was, she knew there were four things she secretly wished she could do.”

I really had to think about that prompt – then, by writing these ambitions down, they started to feel more achievable.

{Something Serious with Something Silly} ~ Doodle List

Journaling doesn’t always have to be serious, though!  This little book of prompts,  {Something Serious and Something Silly}, is a fun departure from boring world of To Do lists.

I could ramble on even more about the other journals, but it’s time for the giveaway details:

    I was actually torn between which “She” journal, Personal Journal 1.0 vs Personal Journal 1.1! The deciding factor? The doilies! I would love to win a She Journal 1.0. Over the years, I have really lost my sense of self and this journal will be yet another helping hand! My husband is encouraging me to start all the hobbies I have in my head; it makes him sad to see me so depressed. This blank slate would love to use the journal to not only discover who I am but help me document the journey!

    Ooooh disqus! Nice one, Jane. Well, I’d love to win a Seeking Grace: Prayer Journal. You know I’m all about faith and the like, so such a journal would be highly useful for me on a personal level. Plus, this year has been so crazy (and looks to get crazier) that a journal like this would be wonderful. Thanks for the awesome giveaway!

    I love the journals! They’re so cute. My favourites are the Vintage Fabric Journal and the Journey Travel Journal. If I had to pick one, though, I would pick the vintage fabric journal because it’s so cute and you could do almost anything with it – collages, drawings, writing.

    I would pick either a She 1.0 journal or the Love Letter journal since our first anniversary is coming up and it would make a great “paper” gift for my husband.

    As someone desperately trying to find joy, peace and gratitude amidst very busy days I could really use a journal of the “The Little Things”. Wonderful products!
