***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:
The Prize: One journal, of your choice, from Gadanke.
To Enter: Please visit Gadanke, then come back here and comment to let us know which journal you’d love to use to “celebrate your story.”
Just for fun: Feel free to share why you’d love a particular journal. Is there a story you’d like to document? A person you’d like to gift a journal to?
Cheers,
~Jane~

These are great! I love the “she” journal. Thanks for the chance to win.
I have subscribed to Katie’s blog.
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!
I really like her new prayer journal, Seeking Grace. It looks inspiring. 🙂
I’m subscribed to her blog.
And I’m a fan on Facebook!
I subscribed to her blog, became a fan of Katie on Twitter. I tried using your links but they aren’t working for me.
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!
Oh, and I ‘liked’ Katie on FB. :o)
And I’m following her blog!
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.
And I’m following Katie on Twitter. =)
I looooove the LOVE WHERE YOU LIVE journal! omg! sheer genius!

What a great idea! I love both the “she” journal and “the little things” I love the prompts!
I would pick a SHE journal!!
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.

I like the love letter Journal… I might have to DIY a less awesome version of it if I don’t win the contest!
Just “liked” her on facebook! …wish there was a “love” button!
