What a lovely give away. Didn't you do the flower sketch on the books too? or am I thinking of someone else?
Yes, Cris, that's my hydrangea sketch on the 7x7s.
This is such a generous thing for you to offer! I'd love to be entered in the contest! And coffee too…what a nice bonus!
Thanks for the chance to win.
How exciting! And how neat to add the coffee in. 🙂 I'd love to be entered as well!

Thank you for this opportunity to be entered into this giveaway. Is the paper in this journal similar to Fabriano hot press paper?
I just want to add that you are an amazing artist! I may not comment often, but I follow your blog via email! I love you watercolors…..I love seeing what you create!
I haven't used Fabriano hot press, but, yes, the Zeta has a surface similar to hot press watercolor paper.
Thanks for following my blog. It's fun to do these giveaways, because I get to hear from people who don't often comment. I like knowing you're there, whether you write or not.
Well, you know I'm a fan!
Great review of the zeta. Will have to give it a whirl. 🙂
What a fun give away. Please include me – I'd love a chance to win a book and the special coffee.
Thank you so much for the opportunity for the chance to enter your giveaway. The Zeta sounds fun. I can only dream of filling it with images as lovely as yours.
Oh, how fabulous! I can't get the Zeta books here in the UK for another month or so, and I've been jealously reading your blog posts. I've only just started experimenting with hot press paper and I love it. Thank you for the chance to win!
So great! Fabulous! And I love the books that are not being sold here at Portugal. Thanks for the opportunity you gave us.
What a wonderful give away! Thanks!
Your art is such a inspiration! Thank you for a chance to win these nice sketchbooks and coffee!
Just loved following your blog. Enjoyed your trip to Italy. These journals look amazing and the sizes are perfect for my trips to our local beach and parks and my next trip to the Key's. I love living here in Florida, I'm a 5 min. trip to the beach from my home. 10 If the bridge has to be opend for a sail boat coming down the inland waterway. If I'm not one of the lucky winners I certainly would like to purchase one of the Zeta Journals.
Lucky you, to live so close to the beach!
You might want to email Stillman and Birn and request a sample packet of the their paper. It's free, and would give you a chance to try out the Zeta before buying.
What a lovely give away.
Very cool! And two of my favorite things: sketching and coffee! Thanks!
Thank you! Journaling and coffee. Who could ask for more!!
Leslie, I love seeing your watercolors! Thank you for offering the giveaway .. PICK ME, PICK ME! ha Have a fabulous weekend!
I've really been enjoying seeing your paintings lately, too, Camille. Very pretty!
Ditto! (Minimalist Response) 🙂
That would be great! A sketch book for me and coffee for my DH!!! Thanks for your reviews too!
Leslie……changing yout blog title to:
Everyday Artist Having Fun!
your work is winderful and so is your enthusuasm…thanks for both and the notebook offer. great! Cinda
What a fun fun giveaway. I think the real treat is your art on the zeta sketchbook label. Thanks for the opportunity and for sharing your lovely work with us all! I'm a big fan. 😀
I love your style of painting!
Lovely! and thanks for the giveaway
My granddaughters are budding artists and would love to have a "real professional" sketchbook.
Is that your tea and flower painting on the other sketchbook? You're an inspiration to me.
That one's by Liz Steele. She's a prolific sketcher from Australia.
Leslie. You know I love everything you sketch. Thank you for this give away. Would come in handy for my art college classes.

I have been enjoying your sketches on Facebook. I am a gardener and artist, too! I think they go together well, don't you?
CindyB
Absolutely, Cindy!
Thank you for this great offer!
I read all your posts as a lurker but come out for the treats….
And congratulations on having your hydrangeas featured on those sketchbooks….I hope Stillman and Birn gives you a lifetime supply of their sketchbooks.
I'll have to pass along your suggestion to them! 🙂
I have been looking for a new sketchbook to journal in since the ones I have been using changed their paper. Wouldn't it be the cat's meow if I won this drawing!
So enjoy your blog and your review of the Zeta has been wonderful. At times your response to the highly sized heavy paper reminded me of peoples experience with Yupo… only somewhat more controllable. I'd love to try out one of these sketchbooks myself. 🙂 Thanks for all your great encouragement and inspiration, Leslie!
You're so right about the similarity to Yupo. Definitely not as slippery, but the same kind of delay in drying time, and the paints merging together and moving around on the slick surface.
I'd love to try one of these sketchbooks. Thanks for the giveaway.
Have been having fun reading your blog, especially liked your trip to Italy. Would be wonderful winning the sketchbooks, I would enjoy trying them out.
I didn't comment on your other posts, but I added them to the arts & craft link list that I post daily. I don't comment much because I spend so much time just looking for good links–but I should have on your review. There was so much good information, not just on the Stillman & Birn books, but on painting in general. Thank you for both the information AND the giveaway!
I appreciate your sharing the links to my posts, Sandra, and for your kind comments.
Thanks for the giveaway, and I've enjoyed reading your reviews. I learned about the Stillman & Birn line of sketchbooks from a review done by Sandra Strait, and I haven't looked back. They are great, and I would love to add one more to my stash! Beautiful work.
I'm using my husbands google account, it's already up and running. 🙂 Yes, I *have* been itchin' to try these sketch books. Love what you've done at the top of this page.
So nice of you to have a give away drawing. Thanks so much.

I come back to your blog over and over. You are very talented. I would love to try the Zeta sketchbook. Thanks for offering it as a giveaway……Dian H.
Whispering Aloha to you and Mahalo for your generous giveaway
Ah, Hawaii… I was born in Honolulu!
Thank you for having this giveaway. I have been thinking of taking a sketchbook with me when I go overseas in December. I have never done daily journaling but this would be the perfect size to take! Coffee too….wonderful!!
I love all your work, Leslie, and undoubtedly this is a lovely give away. Thank you very much!!
Greetings from Madrid, Spain.
Oh Boy! Sounds like fun. I enjoy looking at your work, it is always a happy feeling.
Thank you!

Add my name! :oD Thanks for the chance
Lovely Blog, wonderful artist!! I'm rather new to "art" and I've been using a binder with heavy stock paper for my "attempts". So far, I've been having a blast. I'm slowly getting supplies to build my collection of art materials. I'm not rich so it's a slow process. But, just standing in front of paints section of my local art supply shop, and drooling, is well worth it… I'm like a kid in a candy store; such beautiful colours and mediums to play with. I've been eyeing those sketchbooks for a while now. Will be lovely if I win! And I'm a coffee-aholic so that would be a win-win, hahaah!! But again, lovely art!!!
Thank you so much for sharing! I love seeing your creations.
You are an inspiration, although I am a newbe to art I have had such fun looking at your work. It would be nice try a different paper to work with (never heard of this one) so thanks for this chance to win.x
I love your work. I am just getting back to painting after many years and the concept of using the art journal for my watercolors is very exciting.
I've really enjoyed following your posts about your trip to Italy, and the sketches you were able to complete once you got home. I was especially intrigued by your post about the realities of sketching, that even on a art-focused trip with an art buddy who shared your trip goals, it is still a challenge to get as much sketching completed as you'd hoped and dreamed.
Stillman & Birn is such a neat company, I love how they support wonderful artists like you, sponsor these give-aways, and feature various artists work on the sketchbook labels. I do enjoy their sketchbooks! I've filled an Alpha, most of an Epsilon, and just bought my first Beta yesterday. Would love to try the Zeta too!
You're so right about S&B being a great company. They are so encouraging of all of us artists. Don't you love their blog? What a wide variety of artwork they put on there!
I have loved following your reviews of the Stillman & Birn sketchbooks. I ordered some sample papers but really hope to win a whole book!
I've been reading great reviews for these sketchbooks, and they have certainly been on my wish list. I enjoy your work so much- loved the snapdragons you recently posted on the Artist's Journal Workshop Facebook page.
I'd love to win this, particularly since these are so hard to find in Australia
Love your work? Xx
That was meant to be "love your work ! " I want unsure about it LOL
Thanks for sponsoring this and for reminding me about it on facebook. Your artwork is beautiful. I've tried the delta, and am looking forward to trying a zeta, even if I don't win the give-away.
I would love to try these sketchbooks!
I'd love to try one of these new Zeta books. We can't get them here in New Zealand yet. I ordered two through my favorite art store back in June but her supplier is out of stock so I'm still waiting. I love the images you've done in them 🙂
Thanks for this give away! I would love to try these. I have tried the others but not this one yet!
Please enter me in the give away!! I'd love to win! Thank you!
Hi Lisa, thank you for offering this chance to win a Zeta sketchbook. Your art is lovely and inspiring. I enjoy watercolor painting and love trying new techniques and materials.
Thanks for the chance to win the Zeta sketchbook. I'd love to try it, since I've found the Beta fantastic.
Thank you for the generous giveaway. I've just started Zentangle, and would enjoy tangling in these books!
Thank you for offering a great give-a-way!
Would you ever consider offering an online sketchbook journalling class? If you do, I'll be the first to sign up! I love the S & B Beta hardbound book…halfway thru my first…heard about it thru Brenda Swensen. Have never tried hot press paper & this giveaway would be a great intro to the Zeta paper. I promise to be a very gracious giveaway winner. I look forward to my email every night to read your blog posts. You inspire me to sketch everyday items & scenes EVERYDAY! Thank you…
HI Bobbi,
I'd love to do an online class, but I don't know the first thing about it. I'm going to start researching the logistics of it, and hopefully offer one in the future.
Nothing makes me happier than to know that you have gotten some value from my blog. Thanks for being a faithful follower! And, if you don't win a free sketchbook, you can always email Stillman and Birn for one of their free sample packets, which would give you a piece of Zeta to try out.
i read all your reviews 'cause i'm still looking for the best sketchbook for me:) I'd love to win!
{and i'm a coffee-lover too:)}
greetings from Poland
What an awesome giveaway! I am a first time visitor who is now a follower 🙂 Your art is AH-MAZING! 🙂
Glad you stopped by. Thanks for the sweet comment.
I have been reading about these sketchbooks and wondering where to get mine to try out! I'll keep my fingers crossed!
Thanks for the giveaway!
Wow! quite a list of comments!
I'm so sorry I missed you when you were in Maine! I was busy moving from Maine city to Maine small town up the coast. Would enjoy trying the sketchbbok…Maybe next year when you come we can go out a-sketchin'…
We'll definitely have to meet up for next year. (Keeping my fingers crossed that I'll get to come again.) Hope you're getting settled in your new place.
I've been wanting to try one of these sketch books. Hope I win!:)

wonderful giveaway, would love to win
Thanks for the great information on the Zeta; I've been meaning to try one……
Love your blog and your artwork. I've read good things about these sketchbooks but I don't think they are available in the UK, so would be great to win one 🙂
Thank you! Please enter me in the contest. I'm a big S&B fan.
I'm going to itch already:) I love your sketches!
Leslie, I have been hearing so many good things about the Stillman & Birn sketchbooks. And I love watching your sketch posts. I'd be happy to win any one of these. Thanks for your generous offer.
Blessings,
Fay
OK Leslie, you know I'm about the most un-artistic person you probably know, but if I am chosen to win one of the sketchbooks, I'll use it to the best of my ability! What a wonderful idea!
Hope I win . Your art is beautiful. Thankyou for giveaway.

Oh dear! I'm too late! Will have to save up and purchase my very own! 🙂
I've just come across your picture on fb group Artist's journal and want to say … I LOVE YOUR PICTURES! ♥ especially those in your sketch books. You show me the way where I'd like to move with my drawings / paintings. Thank you for sharing your amazing work! Eva
NICE sketchbook
