It's Thanksgiving in Canada this weekend! So Happy Thanksgiving to all my fellow Canucks. We get to eat turkey and pie and have an extra day off from work and school. Woohoo! AND - I'm adding another bit of fun by giving away this "Acadmic Planner"!
This is the last of the Academic planners that I made this year. It is a monthly format calendar, so there is a two-page spread for each month. It is set up for the current academic year - so it started in July 2011 and ends next August 2012. It also has lots of blank pages for notes, and a pocket at the back, a ribbon bookmark, and standard reference pages as found in most such calendars. It is handbound using a longstitch binding and the cover is a really nice brown cowhide leather.
I will have a draw to pick a winner for this amazing prize! If you would like to get your name into the draw for a chance to win - you must leave me a comment here and either: tell me what you think is the best thing in my Etsy Shop right now! OR tell me something fun about your Thanksgiving celebrations (this is not just for those celebrating Canadian Thanksgiving - this giveaway is open to everyone, everywhere).
Leave your comments before the end of day Thursday, October 13th. I'll draw the winner on Friday, October 14th.

In Denmark where I come from we do not celebrate thanksgiving, so I do not have anything to say about that. I just bought a couple of your pocketnotebooks, and I am really looking forward to receiving them. What I like most in your etsy, must be the book with pages of different kinds of paper. It is so cool. Love the combination of the leather and the pages. Would love to learn to bind my own books some day..
Ha! I thought the 3 Leather Journals would be perfect for my 3 girls. Then I read further - groomsmen gifts. They'd still be great for my three girls or my two boys and son-in-law.
Great giveaway. Thanks for the chance to win.
I love your little book earrings too and of course, those teeny tiny mini books.
I think the purple leather patchwork journal is the best thing in your etsy shop right now. The color and patchwork make it very eye-catching and stunningly beautiful. The stitching is wonderful - everything about it is just great, but then, I think all of your work is fabulous. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family, and I love your blog and your work. Linda E.
Hands down favorite: the Medieval Girdle Book. Amazing on so many levels.
Happy Thanksgiving to you! And thanks for a chance to win! =D
I like the brown leather journal the best. It's very natural looking!

I can't pick one favorite in your shop, you know I adore your work, and all of your papers
This year Im especially thankful because we are having a quiet yet fun thanksgiving and I have a special person in my life that I never thought Id have with being in a wheelchair, I know its silly to think that.
A favorite thannksgiving memory: having the turkey on the kitchen counter thawing only to go in the kitchen and find our wonderful dog Charlie up at the counter liking the turkey...luckily it could be washed lol...what a day!
happy thanksgiving everyone!
I love the tall patchwork journals especially the brown one. The patchwork makes it very eye catching and for me the tall book fits perfectly in my camera bag for those moments where I want to capture the details of what I am trying to achieve. Love the quality of all your work and how you Are interested in learning and sharing techniques and styles from history.

I'd probably benefit from having some sort of decent calendar. I seem to have so many things in my life right now and as always I'm way too absent-minded..
I just checked you Etsy shop and I rather liked the dark brown tiny leather journal, especially the colours of it.
Love the "My Analog Blog - woodblock letterpress notebook" I saw it in Inkwell in Halifax last week - of course anything you make it great - Happy Thanksgiving
I like when my little cousins make us pilgrim hats to wear at the table. Even us adults can't stop laughing and having a good time!

Yes! A VERY happy Thanksgiving weekend to you my favourite and only artschool-in-the-woods in Michigan Roommate!
How can I possibly say which is my most favourite thing in your Etsy Shop? Everything you make is SO lovely! Truly it is!
Perhaps I do tend to favour the "fat" leather journals the most!
Be well and Enjoy!
Oh my GOODNESS. The mini book earrings are the cutest things I've ever seen! I am a future teacher, and I keep thinking about cute, educational earrings I could get. These would be so cute to promote reading!

Hi
Happy Thanksgiving. This world is amazing. We celebrate so many myriad festivals. In India, we just finished celebrating Dusherra, which essentially signifies good conquering evil.
I love the autumn twigs notebook, its vibrant and it is made of recycled paper.
Happy festivities.
My favorite thing in your Etsy shop right now is your Leather Journal Patchwork:

Goodness the best thing in your shop at the moment - everything!! I adore books, I adore the smell and feel of leather and the way is gets better with age. Plus I have a head like a seive so one of your diaries would be a god send. At the moment I am using a (horribe) civial servant's one - black and huge and hardback :(
Gorgeous shop - best of luck for the future. Oh and I'm in N.Ireland so no Thanksgiving stories.
The tiny leather journals are darling!

Something fun about our thanksgiving this year is pumpkin carving. My husband grew some giant pumpkins and we have one for each grandchild. They get to carve them together next weekend!Some of them should be big enough for the little grandkids to get into then!

For Thanksgiving this year my Mom was visiting from Quebec, and I had a bunch of "orphan" library students and my friend Stoo over for Thanksgiving supper on Sunday night. I made three pies! The guys each had two full plates of food, and attempted to eat at least two pieces of pie but failed after the first slice of pumpkin.
Bats and Jack-o-Lantern - pair of Halloween notebooks is cute.

Your patchwork journals are great. The purple one really pops. You area so creative. Kudos on a lovely shop.
Hi, i love the leather planners in the etsy shop, different colors, simple and stylish, not to much, just right, to be used for every one in a different way. It would be nice to see them again after one year, with notes, maybe pictures other keepsakes etc, a great collage of pictures to promote your planners!!
Best wishes,
Liesbeth
I love the green leather journals. I love everything, but I especially love the colored leathers.
I LOVE the mini-book earrings. They are just so much FUN...and well constructed.
Mindy
I just LOVE the mini-book earrings. They are adorable and so pretty.
It's difficult to choose a favorite product. I'd have such fun writing in the fawn-colored leather journal with pages of mixed colors and textures. Then there's the journal with a faded red cover and barn door latches that remind me of summers on Uncle Bruce's Wisconsin farm. For today, however, I'm going to choose a pair of blue book earrins to wear when a read to kindergartenrs later this week. When I visted the class the first time, the teacher asked the children why they thought I came to visit. Her answer: "Because Mrs. Payne loves to read!" How did she know?
wow! such wonderful journals in your etsy shop. I really love the beige suede one.
Happy Thanksgiving to all you Canadians! Our friends to the north (I'm in Oregon)

I'm going to make my daugther a turkey hat for thanksgiving! :)
Any of your journals with long stitch, or coptic binding. I really love the Mediaeval Girdle book.
I bought two of your journals last year. I gave the one made out of leather to a friend of mine and she loves it. I love the one I kept for myself also. Your books are just wonderful.
well...so many and I have had a good look at them all, all beautiful, all individual. But I would pick one that may be overlooked, a small journal with a lovely red marble cover - it just spoke to me, that's why. Something I would use and hold and feel and love, and love again - the sort of item you would never tire of. If I had made such a thing, indeed any book (and I do make some myself)I would so want someone else to treasure what I had put so much into, and I definitely would that.
As for thanksgiving, no we don't 'do' that here in Cornwall! but I did have a lovely weekend, being thankful for my surroundings, for being able to watch for choughs (our county bird, newly returned to the cliffs) and for the chance to start making a new coptic-bound book myself - a different kind of but as valid giving of thanks, every day. And thanks for all your delights too!
I love all of your books, they are so gorgeous! And my favorite part of Thanksgiving is a tie- between the desserts (yummers!) and gearing myself up for Black Friday (I can't help it I LOVE to shop!)

I love so many things in your shop, but particularly the leather journals -- especially in mint green.
Thanksgiving has been mercifully simple this year, and every year, since we gave up on the turkey. Now it's a chicken cooked in a clay baker, and life is good. The spectacular weather this year didn't hurt either.
Happy Thanksgiving, we celebrate with a Harvest supper in England.I
love all your leather journals my favourite on Etsy is the Beatles
recycled and recovered. Its a great
idea but so are all your amazing
handbound books.

Hi there, the funnest thing for us this Thanksgiving was...I made recipe cards with everyone's name on it and decorated them, I started a prompt asking "I am thankful for...?" the responses were amazing. They filled it out during the meal. Everyone had fun with it. I took all the cards and I made a little book and we will add to it every year :) thanks for offering a give-away
This is my favorite thing in your shop!

Hi Rhonda.
In the Netherlands we don't celebrate thanksgiving. So no special time of the year now. Not for long: half of november it is St. Maarten. That is the time that children go from one door to the other with lights in pumpkins or lampions, sing and get sweets or something like that. And from there on we go from one to the other festivity.
I like your recycled books. Besides that your Etsy is so well organized and the pictures so clear.
Your giveaway looks so interesting: will be a addition on my desk....
