    Oooh, lovely. I'd love to have a few like this. Unfortunately, my diaries are usually filled up so fast I'd never be able to afford this! I do have a lens on keeping diaries, with some cheaper ideas for materials, but these are MUCH prettier than mine!

    I love these! I always have 3 or 4 different journals going! I just wish I could get my husband to land on this page ... (I leave him subtle gift hints!)

    Great lens but with my lousy handwriting I'd be too intimidated to use one of these but I know someone who would really love the embossed leather ones and do it justice. Bookmarked for the next gift giving occasion.

    Beautiful journals. I would hate to mess them up by writing in them!

    wow - you have managed to track down some simply gorgeous Journals! Love scrapbooking in my Journals too, as a way to illustrate what I'm banging away about - lol!

    Keeping a journal is almost always a good idea... but keep it someplace safe so that your siblings won't randomly find it and read it. That was my experience as a kid. :)

    I would absolutely buy the "world's thickest journal" also, because it's just awesome and gorgeous... but, at the same time, I actually get tired of the books I'm journaling in if it takes more than a year to fill one up, so I try to keep my journals small. =)

    These are almost too beautiful to write in. I've kept a diary since 1969, but use the same page-a-day one with the same binding each year.
    These would be very nice for special journaling projects.

    These are beautiful! I've been wanting a leather bound journal. I'm going to have to send my hubby to your page. Christmas is just around the corner!

    I use a journal to stay on track with my goals.. Great way to do it!

    One of these sure would motivate me even more! How can you NOT do what you promise yourself if you write it in this work of art!

    Great lens, and I enjoyed your passionate writing about journaling. I love blank books and journals - have an entire bookshelf devoted to them. Alas, not too many leather ones, despite their beauty (the Legends and the Gold Roses are particularly stunning).

    Ooh, yummy lens. I love journals and handbound books of all kinds. I designed some miniature ones and end up writing in those more than the large ones because, I suppose, they require less commitment and give closure... You've encouraged me to start on one of the big ones. That's the only way I can let myself buy some of the gorgeous ones on this page.

    I have a leather journal - and am not quite sure what to do with it! You have inspired me - as an idea book!

    ooh, I want a leather journal!Great job.

    Marvelous lens! These journals look delicious and I want to by them all! :-D What a great niche lens!

    Wow! I love the huge leather journal, just popped that into my vortex! Although I anticipate it may be some time before my journaling gets into that league. Fab lens 5*

    I dream of an embossed leather journal!
    Great lens, 5 stars from me, well deserved!

    What a beautiful lens. I love journals and have several myself. I find they are a great way to brainstorm, to record memories, and also make wonderful gifts. Angel blessed.

    These are beautiful journals. I don't keep a journal but they would make great gifts.

    These journals are beautiful. I wish I could journal on a regular basis. I go through spurts... I do great for a month, forget to journal for two months, journal again for a month, and so on. Funny thing is I see how beneficial it is when I do journal on a regular basis, so why can't I stay with it? Sigh...

    I love the way these journals look. The Nomad Distressed Journal really peaked my interest. I don't journal... but my Big Sister and my niece do. I'll keep these in mind for them.
    The hand made journal in red is something I think I might have to get just for the coffee table. I love that style! Thanks so much for sharing.
