Because of my unplanned summer hiatus, I am changing up the timing of my monthly giveaway a little bit.  Today I am announcing the July winner and at the same time, I am putting up the September giveaway.  This gives you a little extra time – from now until the end of September – to leave a comment for a chance to win this September giveaway.

I don’t know about you, but I constantly seem to be bombarded with creative ideas just when it is time to drift off to sleep!  (Either then, or in the middle of washing my hair in the shower!)  In an effort not to lose my marvelous thought, I have to quickly locate a pencil and paper to jot down my thoughts or I can not get to sleep!  So, when I saw this book, I had to pick it up to use as a monthly giveaway!  The title:  Can’t Sleep Write Now…a nocturnal journal for tireless thinkers.  The perfect journal to keep bedside!

In addition to the journal, I am including in the giveaway, some custom pencils I had imprinted with ‘bookish’ phrases and a custom designed bookmark.  Just leave a comment and you will have a chance to win this giveaway!

Congratulations to Diane, winner of the July giveaway – the Kate Spade notebook.  To see more, click here.

Thanks for the lovely email message Diane!  Enjoy the notebook, I know you will put this win to good use!

Instagram users, please read on!  From now until the end of September, please share your favorite reads from this summer.  Just share a photo with hashtag #pleasuregram.  I will be sharing some on my Instagram stories.  I was able to get some great advance copies and I have some recommendations to share!  (How many of you have read Educated this summer?  Amazing, right?)

Have a wonderful weekend and remember to take pleasure in simple things, Jackie
