Giveaway from Anna Hawthorne Bookarts
I drooled over the pages of Making and Keeping Creative Journals dreaming about making books. After returning to reality, I realized I wouldn’t be undertaking the painstaking process anytime soon. And I don’t have, too.
My friend, Anna Hawthorne, creates amazing handmade books. I plan to be her best customer.
Anna describes her work:
I am a book and paper artist specializing in handmade books as art in form and function. My blank books are made to be written in, so they will be lonely collecting dust on a shelf. Use and enjoy! And each blank book comes with a free project page, full of creative ways to use your new blank book.
Now you can get your hands on these colorful books with a $20 gift certificate to Anna Hawthorne Bookarts. Here is a sample of the books you could choose. Use them to record precious memories, store artwork, or fill with inspirational quotes. The possibilities are limitless.
A couple of mini books are perfect for small projects.
Or how about a journal with creamy lined paper?
Another option is to put your $20 towards a gorgeous album made with handmade marbled paper.
For more information on any of these books and to see what else is available at Anna’s Etsy shop, click the illustrations above or use the preceding text link.
To win the $20 gift certificate, leave a comment on this post. Contest open to U.S. shipping addresses only due to postage prices. Comments will be open until 12:00 a.m. Saturday. The winner will be announced later that day.
Be sure to enter yesterday’s giveaway, and come back tomorrow for two chances to win. I will display the wares of Shady Side Farm and Cypress Lake Soap.
Update: Comments are now closed. Winner will be announced shortly.
