Thank you to everyone who entered to win a Brush Dance Journal.  I was so happy to see so many people enter.  In fact, we had so many entries that I’ll be able to give away four of these amazing Journals.  So excited!

Kathryn – Collage Diva

Nancy – from St. Petersburg, Florida

Arlie

Gingin

Unfortunately, the only person I can find a way to contact is Kathryn. I’m hoping the others see their names and get in touch with me. The deadline for doing so September 15, 2013.  If I don’t hear from the winners, I’ll recycle the prezzies and add them to a future giveaway.

Thank you again for entering. It was fun!

GIVEAWAY: Brush Dance Journals

Earlier this week, I announced that I’m giving away a bunch of Brush Dance Journals.

I’ve received so many lovely comments about the Journals and wanted to take some time to answer some of the questions and comments. Remember, though, Brush Dance is my company, I had a hand in the design of these books, Brush Dance is supplying the books for the giveaway, and I am biased. Whew, that’s a lot of disclaimer!

Are these Journal/Notebooks Fountain Pen Safe?
You betcha!  I’m a big ole pen/ink/paper nerd and I personally chose the paper that goes into the creation of these Journals.

Let me show you a couple of quick writing samples.

The full sheet . . .

The back of the sheet . . .
The back is a little difficult to see – but if you look closely, there is a dot between the 3rd and 4th lines. That is some of the J Herbin (love that color!) barely peeking through.  It didn’t show up in this scan, but I can see a bit of the Sharpie through the paper. Not bleeding through – just a tiny bit showing.
There is zero bleeding. None.  You can definitely write on both sides of the sheet.  The paper is smooth without being too slippery. You know how Clairefontaine and Rhodia can sometimes seem almost too coated and the ink takes longer to dry on the page because of that? This paper is not like that.  

Where Are All of the Masculine Designs?
The vast majority of our customers are female, but that doesn’t mean that we don’t love you guys, too. We have some new projects in the works that will have more masculine designs.  In the meantime, here are some items we have that the men we know say they like best…

Japanese Garden 2014 Date Book

Moon Games 2014 Date Book

Our Date Books are also good for fountain pen use. The paper is not as thick and there is a bit more showing through, but no bleeding.
So..that was only two questions…but, really, I’m so longwinded that’s probably a good thing!
The giveaway is open until Tuesday! Leave a post here or on the original message to be entered to win. I’m giving away one Journal for every ten people who enter (up to ten winners!).  
Oh..and thank you for stopping by…this is the most traffic my little blog has ever seen. I’m doing the happy dance over here!

GIVEAWAY: Brush Dance Journals

Last week, Brush Dance (how I make money to fund my pen/ink/paper addictions) announced the release of eleven beautiful new Dreamer Journals. While we’re calling them Journals, they can also be used as a handy everyday notebook.

I am thrilled to have a bunch of these to hand out as prezzies – keep reading to see how you can get in on the action. Full disclosure . . . Brush Dance supplied the Journals for this giveaway, I had a hand in the design, I am biased, but really – they are pretty incredible and I know you’re going to love love love them.

You probably can’t read the teeny tiny text above in that top image, so let me tell you what it says….

Dreamer Journals from Brush Dance combine eye-catching modern designs with incredible functionality. Use as an everyday Journal or as a perfectly-sized notebook that will fit easily in most handbags.

Yum!

But wait…there’s more!

..136 lined pages
..high-quality 120 gsm interior paper
..wire-o binding 
..stay-clean cover
..elastic band
..5″ x 7″
..Retail $11.95

Seriously, the only way you’re going to be disappointed is if you don’t win one of these pretties. Even then, you can go to the Brush Dance website and get one of your own for just under $12 – even less if you hurry because they are on sale as of this writing.

Here are some detailed pictures of some of the covers.

The interior pages are lined in a color that coordinates with the rest of the book – no basic black here.

I have up to ten of these great books to give away. For every ten people who leave a comment here, I will give away one Journal, but the maximum number of Journals I have is ten. In other words – if 50 people leave messages, I’ll send Journals to five lucky people. If 10,000 people leave comments (yikes!), I will send Journals to ten lucky people. Makes sense, yes? Winners will be chosen randomly, of course.

Because my blog is a tiny hobby and I’m convinced that only Mr. Pentulant reads it – I’ll leave the comments and contest open until Tuesday, August 31. Please only enter once – and, Mr. P., you are not eligible to win.

Leave a comment – be entered to win! Yippy!
