Wanna Play?



This time next week 3 Questions…and Answers will celebrate its one-month birthday! Who knew?!

Are we going to have a party?

Not quite, but I do have a present to give away. As a way to show my appreciation for your support and readership, one lucky reader will receive this handmade journal from artist Sally Small. Here is her description:

"Journal - Aristotle and Aardvark


"This journal is made from a discarded vintage children's encyclopedia. It contains 50 sheets (100 pages) of new bright white 24# unlined paper (50% post-consumer recycled content), and is bound with a 3/4" black plastic spiral. I have included the original title page of the book and have also scattered a few illustrated pages from the original book throughout the new blank pages.

"The journal measures 7-5/8"x10-3/8" (19.5x26.5cm) overall, including the spiral, and the pages are 6-3/4"x10-1/8" (17x25.5cm).

"Since these journals are made with recycled books, there may be signs of wear and use, such as worn areas, scratches, slightly bent corners, and/or stains. There may also sometimes be old library ownership stamps, library card pockets and other miscellaneous markings inside the book covers. I think all these "imperfections" add to the charm of the item. Each journal is unique!"

How am I going to pick the lucky reader?

If you would like the handmade journal, leave me a comment through the comment link below. Include some sort of identifying name--a nickname, a pen name or even something like "you can call me Al." Don't duplicate anyone else's, but you can put a number like Snoopy2, if your name is already taken. IMPORTANT: Make sure you leave your comment on this post. I will link to it in all the upcoming posts or you can click "Wanna Play" in the archives to come to this page. You can only enter once to be fair.

When's the deadline?

You need to leave your comment by 6pm February 27. Then I will draw a winner from all the names collected and announce the winner that evening's post. The winner and I will then work out where I should send his/her journal.
