Makin’ a list…in a brand new journal!

Two weeks ago today I e-mailed my husband and said, “I would love to design [by which I meant I wanted him to design] a readers journal—a place to keep track of books I’ve read, with cute designed pages and a smashing cover…” Well, that man does not mess around! Ken e-mailed back, “Let’s do it!” (My office is upstairs and his is downstairs, so we communicate by e-mail quite a bit for two people who live and work in the same house. )

Anyway, we looked for some images and patterns that would make pretty covers and talked about what I’d want on the interior pages, and the more we talked, the more ideas we came up with. We are both list-makers and we realized that there are so many things people keep track of with lists, especially when it comes to our favorite hobbies and activities and the special moments in our lives. Wouldn’t it be cool to have a whole line of journals? And just like that, Raney Day Journals was born!

Over the last two weeks, we have created a line of journals, published them on amazon to sell for a very reasonable price, and now we want to let you know about them—and give away a couple of copies here on the blog.

We think these journals would make great gifts too! For not much more than the price of a fancy greeting card, you could give a gift instead! Most of the journals on this page are available for sale now [CLICK HERE] and others will be added to the line very soon! (Of course, there will be a Coffee Journal!)

The “Look Inside” feature isn’t active on amazon for these yet (and the basic journals are simply ruled pages) but here is a preview of some of the other interior pages.

I’m having a hard time deciding which is my favorite of these pretty journals! (But I think it might be this gorgeous Gratitude Journal.

I’d love to send a journal to two different Inspired by Life…and Fiction readers! To be entered in the drawing, simply tell me two things in the comments below: 1. Which one of these journals would you choose if your name is drawn? AND 2. Thinking about the type of things you like to keep track of in a journal, what new Raney Day Journal would like to see us—I mean Ken —design?
