Pass The (Art Journalling) Book and a Reminder ...

It has spent so long with me that I am blushing with embarrassment and, truth to tell, a little loath to let it go - but go to one of you, lovely readers, it must! Melissa's very generous gift of Somerset Studios' Art Journalling magazine will shortly nestle into its bubble-wrap-and-card cocoon and could be plopping into your mail or letter box, if you let me know in the Comments below that you'd like to be in the Midsummer Draw next Thursday, 20th of June. Now, let's see what I can tempt you with ...

There's a cornucopia for us arties, crafties and scrappers with titles like ...

• Telling a story: use art journalling as a diary
• Escaping within layers: gesso and paint, of course, and things you can do with a baby wipe
• Using stencils and texture: great for those of us anxious about drawing
• Journalling-on-the-go: I loved this one!
  
• Summer of Love: creating a journal just for the summertime or holidays (go on, you know you'd like to try!). Julie's wonderful journalling style anbd post here would be a great companion.
• Anything goes: how freeing is that?
• Fabric journals with lots of scraps and stitching: aren't your fingers itching already, you clever sewers?
• Dina Wakely's Enjoying The Process: with glorious colour, how could one not?
• My Life In Graffiti - ooh, what fun to be allowed to be as messily creative as you like

and so much more! So do please feel free to let me know below - distance no object :). And thank-you, Melissa - and Sian. whose original inspiration the whole idea was - I have really, really loved this one.

And just a reminder that this Saturday is the 15th, and the mid-month Simply A Moment is gliding into view - an opportunity to stop for a moment, notice what is happening around you and within you, and record it some way: a blog post, a layout, an art-journalling page, even just the back of a postcard ... And if the 15th does not work for you, any day thereafter for the next fortnight will be fine, as the Linky stays up until the end of the month. Should you find it helpful to have a reminder of the possible ideas, you'll find the pdf in September's post right here. There are just two more Simply A Moments to go after this month (July and August) so if you've never joined in and would like to, it will be just lovely to see you :).

Oh, oh, oh and before you click away, just make sure to pop your name below!

So good to see you posting, I was here yesterday thinking bloglovin may have missed you. I know you are 'up to your eyes' but couldn't help being concerned. Any how thanks for the reminder about Simply a Moment and I will pass on this 'pass the book'
It has made me think that I too might be hanging on to one. I had a huge tidy up in my room and things are 'missing' You may see a similar post from me in a few days....

[Linda]

That looks like a good book:) I'd like to put in your list of possible recipients!

[Deb @ PaperTurtle]

Oh yes, please put my name in for the draw on that lovely looking book. :o) And thanks for the reminder...I've been thinking...

OH... OH... this book has my name written on it already!! I attended two workshops with the wonderful Dyan Reaveley on Saturday and I bought home 3 Dylusion journals to play in. I started on one of them at the workshop, but 2 have blank pages and I just need this book to inspire me p-l-e-a-s-e!!

Okay everyone ... I'm sorry for being so bold and really I am hiding behind my chair and looking very guilty. But you know what they say about positive thought?! I am transmitting oodles of it here!!

Thank you for this wonderful chance of looking at this book. Yes please Alexa!! I'd love my name in the draw.

[Melissa]

Looks like a fun issue and loads of new stuff to try. Thanks for the other reminders too.

[Jemma @ Just-Jimjams]

I'd like to put my daughter's name in the draw please ... she loves art journalling techniques and I don't do messy ...

[Abi]

I'd love to be entered into the draw- those titles had me sold! I will be joining in on the 15th too!

[Becky]

Thanks for the reminder about 'Simply a Moment' - looking forward to it again. Please pop my name into the draw - looks a great book! Also, pop over to my blog - you might find something to please you!

[Tracey Holdyk]

I just wanted to pop in and thankyou for all your wonderful comments on my blog lately, they really do make me happy. I will email you but its just a little crazy around here so I do apologise. I would love it if you would pop my name down and thanks for the chance.
love me :-)

[Wanda]

This book does look delicious--perhaps not quite suited to someone who is 100% digital, so I'll pass on the draw and wish best of luck to everyone else. In the meantime, I'm happy to say I ALREADY have a post written for "just a moment"--that all by itself is something to celebrate!

[Joanne]

Missed this earlier but love all things art journaling. Thanks for the chance.

[Yvonne Yam]

Definitely looks like something that will inspire me. :) Thanks for the chance to win! :)
