You remember that post I did about making your own cahier-style notebooks? Well I’ve been making scads of them, and I’ve made one to give away to all of you! Literally, all of you, as this contest will be open to everyone!
It has 26 pages of white Rhodia dot grid paper, size equal to 1/2 of a sheet of Rhodia Bloc No. 16.

Please forgive this experiment in laziness, but pulling out the big camera takes more effort. More effort means longer to get the giveaway to you.
The cover is red posterboard, and the notebook features a back pocket:
And baby blue hand stitching:

This phone takes good pictures, but perhaps not when I can’t hold my hands still at 4 in the morning and I only upload the medium image size. TOO LATE NOW. THE GIVEAWAY MUST GO ON!
That’s about all there is to the notebook, just a simple, lovingly hand-made imperfect little notebook up for grabs.

THE GIVEAWAY RULES!
******************************
- To enter, just leave one comment on this post any time between now and Tuesday, December 18th 11:59 PM Eastern Standard Time. This contest will be open to everyone, everywhere! But since I’m footing the bill, if you live far away you’re not getting any frilly big-money rush delivery.
- One winner will be picked at random from the comments section of this post. Make any kind of comment—but only one comment! Comments in excess of one shall be deleted. The comments will be numbered in the order they are received, i.e. the first comment is #1, the second #2, and so on. Because my blog doesn’t seem to number the comments on its own yet, and I STILL don’t have time/the willpower to fix it, I will again hand-number all the entries in Photoshop like I did here because I am a masochist and numbering is just ever so fun. The Random Integer Generator at random.org will be used to pick the number of the winner.
- I’ll post the contest winner on Tuesday, December 18th. Winner will have one week to email me. There’s a link to my email at the top of the right sidebar.
Good luck everyone!


I’m a new reader to your blog! These notebooks look awesome!
Kindred spirit, I salute thee! And the notebook is even in holiday-spirit red…ahh!
Happy holidays, punning penster.
That notebook is cute!!
I am totally going to try making a notebook like this myself one of these days. I’ve done a bit of bookbinding before, and it looks a fun project. Until then, however, maybe I’ll just win this one that you’ve made?
Dot grid! Awesomesauce!
I’d love to win one.
Cool! This looks really nice :)
