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.

The moleskin ruled notebook looks like something I’d use.

My favorite product is the Embossed Florentine Fleur-de-lis Italian Leather Journal (Travel Journal).
When I turned 21, I did a very foolish thing and tossed all my journals away. The thought was “new life, new beginning” and I remember walking to the trash bin at my then apartment building and feeling GOOD about it.
I threw away journals and diaries since I’d kept since I was about 8… argh!
I’d like to start keeping a travel journal because it’s one of my favorite things to do.
I love the Italian Leather Evening Thoughts Journal. Evening is my fav time to write my thoughts. This would be perfect!!
I love the Moleskin journals so another of those is always great. Thanks!

Happy Sunday, everyone! Here’s my daily entry!
I have just started becoming more serious about my writing; taking University english courses and starting a writers journal.
This journal would be perfect, also I loved the website you provided for the journal. It has alot of tips for writers.

I’m back! Thank you for entering me.
I would love to win this. The evening thoughts journal is a nice one to end a day!
I love the Fleur de Lis Desk Journal. It must have taken a monk at least 4 years just to do the tooling on the cover! Beautiful.
Thank you for the giveaway.
Easy! The Fleur-de-lis Desk Journal, because my personal sign (and favorite flower, and hidden tattoo) is an iris.
Beautiful journals!

I love the Italian Leather Blank Recipe Book. I would love to put some classic authentic Italian recipes in it.
I love the recipe book!
What *is* it about journals that are so sumptuous? The way the blank paper feels under the fingers, the smell of true leather, the sound the pages make as you flip them. I have always been attracted to them and I suppose I always will. ^_^ (Final Entry!)

Wow this is so beautiful. I absolutely swoon over leather bound books. I can’t afford a leather sofa so maybe I am compensating.
I love the travel journal. I would use it on my travels (of course) to take notes that I later look back on to turn into blog posts for MomMostTraveled.com
I like the Soft Cover Italian Leather Journals with Wrap and the Amalfi Paper is very cool
I also really like the Fleur De Lis Journal because it just looks so beautiful. The handtooling is awesome! It would certainly be a keepsake~
