Amazing Ends (And the Winners!!)

Hey there, gorgeous!  Happy Saturday.  Hope you are enjoying a fabulous weekend so far.  

Betcha want to know who the winners are, right?  All in due time, my love, all in due time.  Remember those wonderful end pages I was telling you about?  You have to check them out!  Just a little sneak peak at what the lucky winners will get to be inspired by while sketching and journaling in their new books.

Now do you see why I love Ex Libris Anonymous so much??  Their book journals are filled with so much charm.   I just think of when I was a kid with my arms loaded up as we left the library.

My favorite part!

Brings back memories, doesn't it?  Not every book has this little piece of happy in them.  However, the ones that do are extra special.

So not only does Jacob make an awesome product, but he can make a custom one- just for you!  That's right, for a mere 11 bucks!  You simply send him your book, mark a few pages that you want kept in and he binds it for you.  Then he ships it back to you free!  Can you believe that?  AWESOME.  Now I have my eyes peeled for special books that I want made into journals.  Think of kid's books that little ones have colored in or perhaps an awesome looking book that has seen better days...salvage it!

Oh, and guess what?  He ships internationally.  For only $11.  I can hardly get anything shipped to me from other parts of the US for eleven bucks, that's cheap.  And he'll send up to two books at that price.  Super cheap!  So, show some love for Jacob and his awesome book journals.  Visit his shop and his etsy.  You won't regret it.

Alright, down to business.  THE WINNERS!

The guy helped me by selecting the winners.  So if you are disappointed, please, blame him.  (Sorry, babe, but it's true.)

Ladies, please email me with your address at Mafiosagrrl[at]aol[dot]com, or through FB, Swap-bot, flickr... whatever works for you!  

Congrats to the winners!  If you didn't win, have no fear, I'll be hosting another giveaway very soon!

Thanks for looking!  I'll be back soon with Zombie stuff.  Ohhhh, scary!

A Giveaway!!

Alright, kiddos, today's the day!  As promised, a giveaway for all of you lovely readers out there.

I fell in love with the journals from Ex Libris Anonymous the second I saw them.  It was a few years ago at Renegade Craft Fair in San Francisco.  We had just walked through the doors and already I wanted to hand over all of my money.  I thought to myself, this can't be good.

I am totally willing to admit that I am a paper loving freak.  Or as stitchy pal Lisa likes to put it, a member of the NBA...Notebook Buyer's Anonymous.  I am also a bibliophile.  Combine these two things with my love for up-cycling and handmade.  Presto- you've got an Ex Libris Anonymous book journal!

So when Jacob announced that he was willing to sponsor a giveaway, I gladly took him up on his generous offer.  Not only did he send one for me (how did he know of my addiction?)  but he sent 3 for me to giveaway.  What a great guy.  

 

Check out these handmade beauties.

Each journal is one of a kind and contains about 75 pages of acid free paper.  There are also original pages from the book, such as text or illustrations.

Want one?  Yep, that's what I thought.

The rules are pretty simple. 

1.  Please be a follower of this blog.  (If you aren't one already, sign-up!)

2.  Please comment on this post about your favorite journal in Jacob's shop.  He also has an etsy, if that's your thing.  That would work too.

That's it.  Easy-peasy, right?  This giveaway is open to everyone, including international readers.  I'll pick a winner on Friday, September 10th.  Go check out Jacob's shop and his etsy.  Then, scurry back here and tell me what you like.  Good Luck!

Thanks for stopping by, I'll be back a little bit later with this week's edition of Snapshot Friday.
