These beautiful handmade journals are the handiwork of my friend Jen from Painted Fish Studio. What an amazing little keepsake: write your memoirs, turn one into a guest book or a scrapbook, keep one with you for writing down random thoughts. The sky’s the limit! 

I swear Jen can do anything ~ a real-life Wonder Woman with so many talents (but, alas, no invisible plane)! Be sure to check out her daily blog for ideas and inspiration! I once made a book from scratch with her guidance. It took me FOREVER. I have no idea how she has the vision and patience to create these coptic bound treasures, but am so glad she does. And you will be, too, if you win this week’s giveaway!
