Journaling & FIRST Contest

Who of us hasn't journaled at one time or another? I know that I have more than my fair share stuck away in boxes left for my children to giggle at years (and years) down the road!

A couple years ago I was at Northwestern Bookstore and came across a gem of a journal. It wasn't just any other journal, might I add. The one I zeroed in on was called "Books I've Read...A Reader's Journal". I opened the page and knew I was walking out of the store with that book.

Opening the book I saw that Journals Unlimited, Inc. was making my life easier to keep track of the books I've read. I had been searching for a way to keep track of these books and the things I wanted to remember about them. This journal gave me all the "starters" one would need on the first page. Turning to the back of that page you are able to write your thoughts.

What I LOVE about this journal is the fact that I'm able to have all of my thoughts written by my hand. Down the road my children will be able to learn about what books I read and what I liked or disliked about them. They will see the passion I have for books.

Journals Unlimited, Inc. has a wide range of journals. They have 50+ titles in their "Write It Down" series. Do you love sports? They have a wide array for you. I gave my dad the "Motorcycle...A Rider's Journal". Whenever he takes a bike trip, he can write about the spectacular views or the guys he went with, etc. As a book club, we bought our leader the "Books I've Read" journal and she was so happy to have received it! Do you enjoy gardening, teaching, vacationing, camping, or hunting? Journals Unlimited has the journal for YOU! You can even have them personalized if you order through them. If you have a subject that they haven't created, they give you the option of creating your own!

Journals Unlimited, Inc. has a number of other series. One of those series is "Write to Remember"® Series with 10 options and faux leather covers. They also offer 8 styles from their Notepad series. Their "between me and you"™ Series allows you to share your journal with someone close to you. They even have the option of the "Write it Down" series in an array of colors. You aren't limited to size either. They have the full size edition, which is what I own, as well as a mid size and a mini size (kind of a take-along version).

If you would like to view their entire line, you can visit them at their website http://www.journalsunlimited.com/ .

Journals Unlimited, Inc. has been gracious in allowing me to give away a "Books I've Read" journal. Here's how you can enter to win the journal... visit their site and then leave me a comment letting me know which Journal you liked the most or if you could create your own what it would be. I will draw a name on April 7th.
