August Giveaway #3

Happy Birthday to me!  Yes, today is the big day - I am looking forward to a fun day, a nice fat slice of German Chocolate Cake and some Ice Cream to go with it, plus phone calls from my girls :)

For this week I am giving away this cute animal panel by Clothworks - Friends in Wild Places:

There are two identical halves of the panel on one piece of yardage, so I though someone else would enjoy using the other half.  My plan for this is to make journal covers out of them, so I am including that pattern as well.

I think I will make the panda version for myself!  Anyway - to enter you will need to comment on my blog and let me know if you keep a journal now, or have you ever?  I really enjoyed all the comments on the last giveaway and look forward to hearing your thoughts on this as well.

Be sure and share this with your friends!  Thanks and good luck!

  7. Right now I keep a sketch book. I don't write much and the sketch book is great for quilting and sewing sketches. I hate losing my project 'instructions'.

    HELLO,yes I keep a Watercolor Sketch Journal!
    I also keep a Loved Ones (our Family) running Journal!
    A Journal does not need to have an entry every day to still be meaningful.

  15. When I was in high school my English teacher made us do it. I used to make stuff up to put in it because I couldn't think of anything to say. I don't think I would want anyone reading my personal feelings anyway.

  16. I have blank books, I love blank books, I can't stop myself from buying blank books at the thrift store, but....I am really bad about writing in them. I do have a garden journal where I document what worked and didn't work for future plant purchases. I also have one for quilt ideas, I use it when I go on vacation, carpets and tiles, etc can be very intriguing.

  17. I don't keep a journal. I have a couple of times in the past, mostly during large vacations where I wanted to remember what happened or when I was younger (think middle school age)

  19. I don't keep a journal. This fabric is adorable! I would love it for a baby quilt, since I really enjoy making baby quilts and giving them to people with new babies.

  21. I have sorta of a journal - it's list for my overcluttered mind - so i jot down ideas, things I think about and then try and work on them!

  22. I do have a journal but I use it to record hi & lo temps, rainfall etc & what I did that day. I make columns down the page so 1 journal lasts 4-5 years. I love looking back on previous years to see what was going on!

  23. I used to keep one until I decided I didn't want anyone to see it after I died. I do keep track of travel and what we did. Love looking back at our adventures. Rina

  25. I kept a journal right up until I had my first child. Now that they are just a bit older I was thinking of starting again. I wish I had kept doing it while they were babies to write down some of the memories.

  29. I kept a journal all through junior and senior high, but then stopped as I got older. Just this year I started one again, writing down the things I sew each day, because otherwise I forget what I did!

  30. Hope you had a great Birthday! I have enjoyed visiting your site, linked through the Island Hop:)
    I keep a large art journal, it is rather untidy and filled with quilty ideas. I also keep a small sketch journal for travel, and a small journal with bloggish ideas, notes and lists that is also a mess as I tear pages from it a lot, haha!
