A Gardener's Journal
is the result of two author's efforts...
Jodi
Benedict, a graphic designer, set out to design a
garden journal for her
mother's birthday.
Not being a gardener herself, Jodi received help from Holly Eads,
who is a gardener with a prolific green thumb.
Together, they have
produced this record-keeping system
that should provide a practical means of
maintaining year-to-year gardening records -
all in one neat & tidy location.
Full-size 8 1/2 x 11 pages, printed 2 sides on 24 lb paper.
Each page provides
generous space for writing.
**************
In my travels over the years I
have found that keeping track of the what's, where's and spending was
helpful in many ways.
After years of keeping a travel diary, my husband
counts on having it to use as a reference for every new trip route he
plans.
I started with a spiral notepad and soon was drawing charts for
easier recording and reading.
Now, with design partner, Jodi Benedict,
we have refined my travel log into what is available here today.

Quilters are passionate about their
craft and frequently have multiple projects in the works,
on the drawing board, or on their minds.
Our quilter's journal provides a simplified method to organize each
project and
then easily pick up where you left off,
or later on recall some of the details you would like to recreate on a
future project.
