Spring Cleaning Giveaway

I cleaned out the junk drawer last night.  It had become a state of anxiety for me - that drawer, where all the things go and so many things never come out again.  When it was done I felt like I'd lost ten pounds.

In moving some things that I didn't want to get rid of to another location, I noticed the handmade journals I had purchased a year ago.  These pretties were meant to be journals or possibly books of secrets or some such thing, but they were a bit smaller than I had anticipated when I ordered them.  Now they are just sitting here, sadly unused.

Instead of leave them to collect dust for another year, I thought that a couple of you lovely readers would like to get your hands on one.  They are really quite pretty.  A Celtic cross adorns the front, a flock of geese fly over the cover flap, and a triskele shields the back of the book.  The paper inside is handmade.  They are truly lovely, but as I mentioned, a bit small for me.  They are 7 inches tall and 5 1/4 inches wide.  They have a long leather strap attached that winds around the journal for closure.

I have two pristine, never-used journals to give away.  One each to two, lucky readers.  I quick-snapped some pics this morning - so you can see the journals below.  Both are identical.

All you have to do, if you want one of these beauties, is leave a comment below.  I'll draw a name in just over a week's time on Sunday, April 21st.

This year I'm saving up my giveaway budget for October, so definitely get in on these goodies if they perk your interest.  Two years ago I had my first Great October Book Giveaway, and gave away one book each week.  Last year, I managed to give away 2 books each week, and this year I'm hoping to double or triple that number.  All the books will be magical or herbal in topic and autographed by their authors.  It's a bit of an undertaking that I will be starting to arrange at the end of this month when my trips and festival are completed.  

As always, please ensure that if you don't have a Google ID that shows up on your comment, that there is a way for me to contact you should you win a journal.  I will ship internationally, but those shipments will have to go at the cheapest rate as international post is a bit outrageous.  It will get to you...eventually!
