I met Katie at Blissdom this past February, and we bonded over our gluten free lunches. What really stuck out, though, were the “business cards” she was handing out. Forget the “regular” kind, like mine…she was giving everyone handmade, miniature journals in which to record some thoughts and memories of our conference. And they were beautiful! I was struck by the details in the mini books that she had obviously painstakingly worked on.

She was introducing her website/business Gadanke to her fellow Blissdom attendees, and I know for a fact that people remembered those works of art more than most of the other “cards” we were given (or handing out ourselves. Ahem.)

In fact, as soon as Katie contacted me about potentially doing a giveaway of her journals, I ordered one for my niece’s birthday, because I just knew she would love to record her summer memories in one of Katie’s Travel Journals.

This photo was taken from gandanke.com….I would take a picture of the one I got, but the packaging is so perfect that I don’t want to open it before my niece does!

Check out these kids’ journals that Katie makes (and all of the incredible details!):

Totally getting this one for my soon to be 6 year old’s birthday!

And here’s something that I SO wish I had had when I got married. A wedding journal, specially made to organize all of those wedding cards, and places to write down favorite memories of the wedding day and marriage.
