ReplyDeleteI would LOVE to use this journal to collect my thoughts. I like to take a minute or two at the end of the day to just destress, unwind and let go of any thoughts by writing them down. :)
ReplyDeleteI would use it as a daily journal/to do list...with a little one on the way this week I will have a lot that I will need to write down and remember!
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute journal! My birthday is Dec 17th, and winning would make the day extra-special. I think I would keep it with me as an every-day pad for when I needed to make little notes to myself.
ReplyDeleteI'm always coming up with ideas on stuff I could try to sew and end up writing them on little scraps of paper (and promptly losing them). Should really consolidate in one spot . . .
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute! Yes, you MUST do a tutorial!! I would give it to my daughter - she is 10 and just getting into writing little stories and journaling. She would LOVE this!
ReplyDeleteThis is a fun prize. A tutorial would be awesome. I would use this to help me keep track of all my to do lists so I can have them in one place. :D

ReplyDeleteokiedokiemama(at)yahoo(dot)com
I always have a notebook nearby so I can write down recipes, ideas, addresses, etc.. This would make a very pretty one! I would love to see a tutorial on how to do this.
ReplyDeleteI always have several notebooks on the go, I thrive on data!
ReplyDeleteItemized bills, keeping track of symptoms, to do lists, plans on future projects... You name it!
I would use this for my Bible study notebook. I would love a tute too!!
ReplyDeleteI keep a notebook on my desk for all the little student thoughts I need to write down. Send an email to this parent, pull this file for so and so, remember to have someone practice something. A pretty notebook makes my desk happy.
ReplyDeleteBmoore_mamabee(at)hotmail(dot)com
I would actually give it to my granddaughter as she keeps a journal. I would love to see a tutorial for it!
ReplyDeleteHappy holidays!
I think that if I am lucky enough to win this great notebook it will become an inspiration journal! I had in the past (before Hurricane Katrina) a great journal where I would take clipping and pictures and jot down ideas for projects. I have started binders now with tutorials but I have not started an inspiration journal again and I am realizing that I am missing things! This would be a perfect thing to use for it, especially with the pockets so I can keep all the supplies I need together! LOVE IT! and I would be excited about the tutorial just in case I don't win!
ReplyDeleteFirst, what a cute blog name!!
ReplyDeleteI love your little journal cover. If it were to come to my house, I'd use it for daily to do lists.
And yes, a tutorial, please!
I'm becoming a follower, so I can see what you're up to in the future!
Very nice! I would probably use it for a to do list.
ReplyDeleteThis is so fabulous! I would use it as a combined sketch book and to-do list for my projects and project ideas. I need to stop using random sticky notes all over my desk! LOL!

Cute and utilitarian. I would use it as a cover for my journal of random ideas. I have a comp book I keep next to the bed for random thought of everything from what I think would be a cool story idea(if I wrote stories LOL) to shopping lists. This would be a great way to jazz it up!
ReplyDeleteThe journal cover is adorable! I use journals to keep track of my daily doings, and plan to give them to a future daughter when she grows up.

I love the cover, but I have no idea how I would use. I would probably use it as a book lending log book. So I can keep track of who I loan my books to.
ReplyDeleteswim(dot)kayla(at)hotmail(dot)com
This wonderful journal would be the center of one of my new year's resolutions -- a gratitude journal. I will write at least one thing each day that I am thankful/greatful for, with the first entry being thankful for winning!

ReplyDeleteIt would be great for to-do lists!
ReplyDeleteThis is so nice, thanks!
lmr3683 at hotmail dot com
I would use the notebook to sketch ideas and calculate amounts of fabric needed for different projects. And to keep track of a dream list of great projects to do eventually.
ReplyDeleteI'll use it for random creative ideas and scribbles.
ReplyDeleteMeeting notes, and of course, tutorials are always appreciated!
ReplyDeletebridgestranslation at yahoo dot com
I would take it to Bible studies for notes on prayer requests.
ReplyDeleteAre you kidding? What a great giveaway! I would use it every day--as a teacher I am constantly trying to remember everything and my current plan of "write it down on something" usually ends up being a receipt that gets thrown away. This would be perfect because there is room for a pen and more. Yes, I'm definitely interested in a tutorial!
ReplyDeleteI'd use it at work to take my notes in - lots of meetings equals lots of notes to take. This will be something pretty to look at.
ReplyDeleteThis is a fantastic idea and well put together. I am always using composition notebooks. Some for Bible study, some for jotting down things I can not take care of right away but need to get to later, to do lists, shopping lists and of course new ideas for things I'd like to create.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win.

ReplyDeleteThis is super cute! I've had a life long love affair of composition books, so making them pretty is just awesome.
ReplyDeleteHow would I use it? Oh my gosh...how would I NOT? I have two small children and just bought a house. I have lists coming out of my ears! Being able to keep them in one place, and prettily so!, would be fantastic.
Thank you for sharing!
I always have great plans for blank books. But in the end they end up with lists and notes. Which is still good.
