Katharina, it’s time to start journaling again – you won! Look for the winning email and respond right away to claim your prize.
Journaling has been an important part of my daily life for many years, and while I have written in less-than-impressive journals, tablets, and even hotel notepads when in a pinch, there is nothing like being able to write my thoughts in a journal that inspires me to write every time I look at it. As my writing becomes more important to me, so does my choice of journal. I have recently started keeping my everyday writings in an Italian Leather Travel Journal from JournalShelf, and I’ve found writing in it to be completely enjoyable.
This JournalShelf journal is actually designed for travel with its belted cover and practical 4 x 5.5-inch size, but I’ve found it’s also perfect for everyday use. I have never really taken to using the large desk sized journals because I so rarely write while sitting at a desk or table. Most times it’s a lap thing. A big bulky tome just won’t do. Add to the convenient size the fine Italian leather craftsmanship with hand tooling, the warm scent of smooth quality leather, and 240 wonderful hand-cut Amalfi paper pages in an easy-on-the-eyes cream color, and the journal is a writer’s dream. This would make a fantastic gift for the writer or writer-to-be. Mine came wrapped beautifully in fine paper making the experience one of quality from the get-go.
JournalShelf is generously giving away one Italian Leather Travel Journal to a carp(e) libris reviews reader.

Beautiful Journals. I like the Soft Cover with Strap.
back for another entry!
I’d like another entry today, please.
Oh my, what a beautiful journal. I am an aspiring writer – as a child I was an avid writer, published some poetry as a young adult, then set the pen down and haven’t kept a journal since about 1996. Now, though, I’ve found myself yearning to note my daily experiences – as they happen. I’ve jotted down shorthand onto sales receipts, made a note on a torn notebook sheet. Oh, to have this small journal to take with me…what a wonderful thing to have. Oh, and at the JournalShelf site I really like the Fleur-de-lis embossed journal. I live near Louisville, KY and the Fleur-de-lis is the city’s emblem. So pretty.
I like the recipe book they have. I need a new one and this would be great.
I like the Embossed Fleur-de-lis Leathet Journal the most.

Good luck, everyone.
I like the Italian Leather Evening Thoughts Journal…
These are all beautiful journals. The Florentine Fleur-de-lis Italian Leather Desk Journal jumped out at me right away. Thank you for the great give-away.
An Evening Thoughts Journal would be so grand,
To put my day in order, pen in hand…
And cherubs sweet would see my thoughts,
To keep me blessed with wishes caught…
And maybe beyond the evening sun,
My gentle words would make it fun,
And take me to a restful sleep,
With angels hugs, my soul to keep.
Thank you for the charming giveaway.
Another entry for another day.
really like the Embossed Fleur-De-Lis wine journel also!
Back again to enter! Thank you;)
Back today for another entry, I hope I win this!

My Favorite is the belted journal. I love all things medieval and renaissance and this journal has the look of old world craftsmanship. This would be a great journal to take on my European trips.
The Soft Cover Italian Leather With Wrap series looks great. No wonder they’re backordered.
Entering for Friday.
