Journal Giveaway by guest: Melissa Esplin
I can't believe this week is nearly over! First, I'd like to thank Rachel for letting me blog at Black Eiffel for one glorious week. Second, I want to commemorate the occasion with a weekend giveaway.
The book was hand bound by yours truly using "up-cycled" materials (brand-new but discontinued designer paper saved from the trash can by FABMO). Get your hands on this one-of-a-kind journal by commenting below. Only one entry per person, and anonymous comments will be excluded. Enter by Tuesday, March 31st.

Love the journal...looks like the perfect book to write healing, positive thoughts in. Or maybe collections of favorite things. Or poetry to be given to a friend in need. Perhaps a list of positive affirmations to share with others. Or maybe an album of favorite people. Anyway...thanks for all your postings...I've enjoyed reading them.

Really pretty! A great giveaway!

Lovely Journal Melissa. My girlfriend used to be a bookbinder in Baltimore, restoring old books in the library. I could sit and watch her forever, bringing books to life.
Thank you so very much for offering the giveaway!
I absolutely adore journals and the idea of a handmade journal/book is wonderful. Thank you for the chance to win one.
