Happy Monday everyone! Throughout this week, I’ll be bringing you gift guides for everyone on your list- family, friends, hosts, kids, the works! But to kick off this gift-giving mania, another fabulous giveaway! Ex Libris Anonymous recycles and salvages old books and turns their covers into fantastic journals, and believe me, with over 1000 titles in their shop there’s one in there for everyone on your holiday shopping list! In between the pages of each one-of-a-kind handmade journal you’ll find select pages from the original book, like beautiful illustrations and handwritten notes from previous owners. These journals make great keepsakes and meaningful guestbooks for weddings (Calling all brides!) or other events. Perhaps an upcycled Dr. Seuss classic for the baby shower your planning? And today not one but four readers have the chance to win a journal of their choice from the Ex Libris Anonymous shop! Keep on scrolling to find out how to enter…
To enter to win one of these unique journals (and perfect gifts!) simply head on over to Ex Libris Anonymous and browse through their wide array of selections, then come back and let me know in the comment section below which journal you would buy if you won the giveaway (and for who, if you’d use it as a holiday gift!). The giveaway will be open until 10pm PST on Thursday, Dec. 8th. Four randomly selected winners will be announced on Friday, Dec. 9th!





















Donkey Donkey has to be my winner! I would love to give that to my husband for Christmas. Donkey is his nickname among all his friends.
Beautiful journals, I would have to pick one of the Dr. Seuss books!
Dr. Seuss all the way!!
I love the Johnny Appleseed cover! I think it would be great for my mom to keep recipes and grocery lists organized. Thanks!
Would have to be one of baby Ethan’s favorites…Dr Seuss’ ABC Book, or Cat In The Hat. They didnt seem to have my favorite books though… “Oh The Places You’ll Go”..
I would have to get ‘The Christmas Book’. It would be great for keeping track of Christmas recipes, gift buying lists, to have Christmas time guest leave a note, etc. There are so many things you could do with it and it could become a nice keepsake to use year after year. Thanks!
I am tempted to list one of the children’s books for my little niece, but eh, she’s too young! haha I’d get it for me, the “Favorite Recipes from Favorite Restaurants” book. One day I hope to own my own restaurant and I actually collect vintage cookbooks so this would be the perfect excuse to kick start my dream, so to speak, and start a food journal.

Oh my gosh I love the Nancy Drew “Hidden Staircase.” Such a great idea!
I loved reading the Nancy Drew books when I was little. I actually have a collection that was handed down to me. I like The Clue in the Old Stagecoach and can remember reading that one! These journals are a really neat and I wouldn’t mind having one!
I love the Lone Ranger and the Mystery Ranch cover! How fun is that?
Their journals have been my favorites for a long time. Seeing Danny the Dinosaur though brings back wonderful memories of learning to read. I would smile every time if I was lucky enough to win. Thanks for this chance!
This is the coolest giveaway ever! Danny and the Dinosaur would be my pick – for my husband, Dan. It was one of his favorites growing up (since it includes his name in the title), and he still loves to journal. Thanks for the great link to Ex Libris!
I noticed one called “I know a story” and thought it would be perfect! We are always delighted with the things our grandkids say & do and I’ve said so many times I need to be writing them all down. What perfect pages to capture them on!
Oh, please don’t make me choose! But if I must: The Story Hour, such wonderful design
I’d choose “Best in Children’s Books” for my daughter. She collects children’s books and is an aspiring novelist. I know she’d love this journal. Thanks for hosting a great giveaway! ~~Rhonda
I’d have to go with Little Bear’s Friend… Reminds me of childhood and reading my first chapter books!
Danny and the Dinosaur. For my daughter.
i love ‘my book library- over the hills’. i would give it to my dear mum.please pick me.
frances, lover of all things pretty.
Things to Make from Odds and Ends!
I think that my favorite is “What’s-His-Name”. It would be so ironical to use it as a personal diary.
I think it would have to be “Friends, Old and New” because my teenage granddaughter recently moved 400 miles away and has discovered writing as a way to keep in touch and as a way to help ease her transititon into making new friends. Thanks!
I would have to choose Rhyme and Reason with the red and pink colors.. not because of the colors but because I would fill it with Poetry!
I would get the Spelling for Word Mastery for myself because I love old grammar books. This one is especially rad… what does flying airplanes have to do with spelling? Who cares it’s awesome!
oh my goodness! these are so adorable!! i would most definately get the precious moments one! i have the exact same book tucked away for when i have little ones! i would give it to my mom so she can have a notebook to write her devotionals in!! what a great present idea!!
