Wednesday Artist Spotlight & A Giveaway from This Is It!
July 28, 2010 
Self-care is easy when you set your intentions and explore your inner thoughts with these lovely eco-journals! Jodi of This Is It! explained where they came from:
We were inspired to create our self-care line of journals by our desire to make something beautiful that also served to remind us of messages we wanted to have reinforced, such as “practice self care,” “remember to breathe,” and “take time to go within.” We love seeing these reminders again and again as we make the products, and we’re so glad that we get to share them with others. We hope these products and their messages help others on their own paths as much as they’ve helped us on ours.
. . . . .
To enter this giveaway for a chance to receive your choice of one of the journals from This Is It! linked above (you can also choose from Get to Know Yourself, Vent, & Because I'm Worth It), leave a comment before Monday August 2nd at 12 PM EST. Then come back on Tuesday the 3rd to see if you've won! While you're at it, you can find This Is It! on Etsy, Twitter, and Facebook.

I'm a bookmaker, and so I'm particularly drawn to Jodi and Dan's line of lovely handmade products, especially their paper goods. I have a soft spot for my own two shelter pups, so I'm equally impressed that they donate a portion of their profits to animal welfare groups. Thanks for the introduction to This Is It and thanks to them for the giveaway.
