So, I’m giving away one of my favorite sketchbook-journals that I sell in one of my Etsy shops. You can read more about the book HERE.
To qualify to win, all I ask is that you follow my blog. Scroll down on the right column and click on FOLLOW THIS BLOG. Then simply come back to this post and leave a comment that you are following. If you are already a follower, THANK YOU!!-just bypass the first step. I will randomly choose from the comments and match it up to the followers to pick a winner.
Be sure that there is a way to contact you through your blog or comment. I will pick a winner on Friday, January 9, 2009, post the winner’s name and blog and ship the sketchbook right out!
UPDATE: After reading through all the wonderful comments, I'm realizing that many of you are under the impression that I hand bound my sketchbooks. In reality, I only cover blanks with my graphics. HERE is an example of how I do it with fabric as shown in the very first JSIM post.

I loved it, and got over one hundred images and have made cards out of them. (who knows your field, driveway, road might be in one). i am new with blogs so you are now a shortcut on my desktop) I hope to learn more on how you make journals! I write and my first book will be out oh so soon.

I follow - you're in my google reader - hope that counts!
Google Reader keeps me up to date on the Cathe Holden Happenings! Does that count?
I discovered you through your guest posts on Design mom and have been hooked ever since. I wish I knew about you when I was in your area last year!
ps- would love to have one of your journals, I just sorted all kinds of bits of ephemere from my life in the last year...
Very cool! I'm so glad your Etsy store is doing well. I thought of you yesterday when I saw they are having a Handmade Journals Show in a town close by. I never knew they were that popular!
OOOOH LOVELY N VINTAGE-LIKE

Thanks!

What a lovely giveaway! Please enter me. :)
You are a part of my google homepage!!! I love your work, and your books are awesome. Oh, to have your energy! Your comments about Springfield, MO (from an earlier post) really caught my attention, since my niece and nephew went to school there, about 5 hours from my hometown.
Hi! I've been following through Google Reader previously and now through blogger. I've got my heart on making a window sign with your tutorial this year..it's hard to find old windows in Hawaii..fewer vintage shops so I may just use a frame pane..thanks for the awesome ideas!
I follow you...already in google reader...but now publicly too. ;-)
I adore sketchbooks and this one is super cute.
I am now an official follower. Thank you for all you write, craft, design and share with us!
Well, I only use my blogspot blog for designing, but I do have you in my bloglines. Does that qualify me? I hope so, because that journal is adorable! Thank you for giving it away!
Blessings,

I found you on craigslist awhile back, and book marked you and have enjoyed reading and watching your blog grow and change. I love many of your ideas and designs. I would be thrilled to have a sketch book of yours. Best of Luck and happy new year.

i just graduated as a graphic designer and post-laziness stage i've added on my list to start designing my own collection of handmade books.. so thanks for the motivation and inspiration and blank sheets to sketch out my ideas hope i win :D

love the journal. i'm following now!
Cathy you are amazing. Thanks again for sharing ideas. I am about to plan my "new" studio in an upstairs bedroom from the dungeon in the basement. We added a new window to the room and now I don't quite know what to do...but I started watching your blog when your new studio was posted. Mine will probably be a year-long process with everything else that needs to be done too.
You've been part of my Google Reader collection for some time now. Thanks for all the inspiration!
I'm following and I love that sketchbook! Wahooo!
I follow and I love the journal! Thanks for the chance!
I love your blog and your etsy shop I bought Christmas presents from you! The book is great...I think I would use it as a photo album for the man I love. Pick me!!
Happy to be a follower!
