Although computers are handy, there's still certain tasks when a pen and paper beats technology's fancy features. For example, when taking notes, I'm more likely to remember the information later if I hand write instead of type the words. Here's a fact you're not likely to forget either way: Vishruti of Indian Journals is giving away a medium-sized journal from her handmade Etsy shop. The winner may choose one 6x4" art journal or Sari fabric journal. Vishruti offers the journals in four different sizes, but medium is the most popular. Not only is the everyday journal easy to carry in a backpack or purse, but its pages allow plenty of space to use as a food tracker, travel log or personal diary.
I might have enjoyed grade school more if I could have written in the paisley art notebook above instead of a boring black and white composition book. Upcycled patchwork fabrics, brocade remnants, embellished Saris and traditional Indian folk art prints are used to cover her OOAK journals. The book twine is wrapped in a style reminiscent of vintage journals from India. Recycled acid free handmade paper is bound using sturdy stitching techniques that ensure quality craftsmanship. Based on the passion of her products, it's no surprise that Renew, Reuse and Recycle has always been her Mantra.
