The large size ones really appeal to me as I like to work to a good space ... Dream and Shine draw me in .... These are the ones I would be using !
Posted by: Zoe | 02/14/2011 at 05:06 AM

I love your Fearless journal...perhaps because I'm not...fearless--not in my everyday life, nor in my art...which has been used for commercial purposes only these last fifteen years. My personal creative pursuits were never encouraged, nor understood. It has taken a brave person to finally set aside all the CAN'Ts and SHOULDN'Ts given to me. I may sometimes be brave, but I'm never fearless. I just need the reminder.
Love your store AND your blog. Keep the positive energy flowing!

I really like the small Spanish Girl journal. Gorgeous. ... So happy to discover your blog this evening!
Posted by: Linda | 02/13/2011 at 06:42 PM
Awww gosh, it's so difficult to choose just one! My favorite is the Anias Bloom Large Journal with one of my favorite quotes on the cover (by Anias Nin)! The colors are spectacular and it is so necessary in the dreary winter to remember that spring will come! The collection of journals is vibrant and inspirational - such a treat to behold!
Posted by: LAM | 02/13/2011 at 06:03 PM
is this thing still going? i hope so.
gnome hat = amazeballs. it makes me happy. i've wanted to order the print for a while now but my funds are low. that's about it. the image brings me happiness, and happiness brings inspirational writing to life.
thanks for this papaya.

Would love to fill some pages in the small journal "Flora Bird." Love the illustration and colors.
Posted by: T Deschenie | 02/13/2011 at 12:16 PM
Hmmmm, for me today it's going to be the large Life in Progress journal. The little birdie and the "go slowly" add a just right touch of whimsy. And such a just right reminder that it's all a process of unfolding. Sort of Goldilocksy for me right now - it's "just right." Thanks for the opportunity!
Posted by: Erin | 02/13/2011 at 12:12 PM
It's so hard to choose one...they are all beautiful! I really love the small journal Shells. We take a lot of trips to the beach & I like to journal about every trip. Thanks for the giveaway!
Posted by: Sonda T | 02/13/2011 at 09:54 AM
Hula hoop is my favorite because I love to Hula hoop!!!
Posted by: whitney | 02/13/2011 at 08:15 AM
I love everything Papaya makes! As for the large journals I love Voyage and Dream best! They inspire the creative heart.
Posted by: Johari | 02/13/2011 at 07:37 AM
I love the small Fabulous journal, because learning to love who you are, i think, is the root of everyone's need to journal.
Posted by: Heather | 02/13/2011 at 07:08 AM
I love Temple Girl, the larger journal - a vision of the peace we are all looking for:) Thanks for the chance to win!!
take care~

Great work!!!! I LOVE Carpe Diem!
Posted by: Beth | 02/13/2011 at 05:07 AM
The Flora large journal is my fave because I'm totally besotted with Flora Bowley's work. Love.
Posted by: Tara | 02/13/2011 at 03:17 AM
Well I love all of them and I'd love to have a whole stack, but I'd be happy starting out with the DayDream journal. I like a bigger book because I am trying to stretch my wings and work bigger.
Thanks for the chance!
Posted by: Heather | 02/12/2011 at 11:22 PM
I quite like the large Asian Peony journal - very pretty!
Posted by: Joanne | 02/12/2011 at 11:05 PM
Sweet Surrender is my favourite. Love everything about it. The larger size, I think. (All of the journals are beautiful.)
What a nice give-away. Thank you for doing it!
Posted by: Em | 02/12/2011 at 08:46 PM
They are all absolutely GORGEOUS!!! But If I had to choose one it would Asian Peony, LOVE THEM!
Posted by: Laura Monahan | 02/12/2011 at 08:38 PM
I absolutely love 'Fearless.' As a professional jewelry artist, I realize that sometimes I cramp my own art by worrying overmuch about what is commercial enough to sell rather than realizing that my gut creative instincts are what my customers respond to. I actually have the 'Fearless' card hanging up on my inspiration board to remind me to be true to myself and be fearless in following my own creative vision.
Posted by: Christina | 02/12/2011 at 06:34 PM
Oh, they are all so beautiful! My favorite is the Fearless large journal.
Posted by: Janelle Lorenzen | 02/12/2011 at 06:31 PM
I love the small journal named ' Dream Catcher' .
Thank you for this giveaway.
Posted by: Lay Hoon | 02/12/2011 at 05:38 PM
SO hard to choose jut one...so I narrowed it down to just TWO...Gnome Hat and Temple Girl ;)
Thanks for a great giveaway. Fondly, Roberta

I love butterflies and Anahata's work so my choice (hard tho it is to choose) would have to be the large "Begin" journal. Great sentiment and LOVE that turquoise.
Posted by: Lynette Collis | 02/12/2011 at 05:19 PM
They are all amazing but if i had to choose only one it would be the Flora Bird - Small Journal. I have two small parrots and this journal reminds me of them! :)
Posted by: Emzusaadventures.blogspot.com | 02/12/2011 at 05:08 PM
I think I like the large Voyage journal the best, although they are all beautiful. I would love to have a little more info on its pages, too - lined/unlined? Sketch weight paper? I want to dream up appropriate uses for these lovely books!
Posted by: Cindy S | 02/12/2011 at 04:55 PM
Musings... love that word.
Posted by: so-it-is-girl | 02/12/2011 at 04:51 PM
Most definitely *VOYAGE*. Not only is it beautiful, but reflective of the purpose which it would be assigned. Each page within would be a place to spill open my dreams & hopes that in turn will lead to the actions that will take me out and into the world on this wild & wonder filled voyage of life in 2011!
Posted by: Lisa | 02/12/2011 at 04:49 PM
Love the large Trust Yourself journal. Such an important message to ones self and a beautiful image on the cover!!!!!
Posted by: Deb | 02/12/2011 at 04:38 PM
The Asian Peony large journal is my new favourite, love the dreamy soft colours :)
Posted by: Jayne Bramley | 02/12/2011 at 04:01 PM
I love the Eiffel Tower small journal. Make me wish I was sitting in a Parisian cafe right now.
Posted by: Kathi | 02/12/2011 at 01:38 PM
my favourite journal is the 'musings' one because it is the same cover of the day book i bought 2 years ago that inspired me to keep a more arty journal.
Posted by: lindsey | 02/12/2011 at 11:22 AM
All are so BEAUTIFUL! But, I do have a serious crush on Flora, Large Journal. It's so absolutely organic and surreal at the same time.
Posted by: Jennifer | 02/12/2011 at 11:21 AM

I love the large "Life in Progress" journal. The birdie and colors are beautiful, and those are just the words I need to read before writing in my journal!
Posted by: Jeneka | 02/12/2011 at 09:52 AM

I think Green Garden ... but really who could choose ... they are all gorgeous!
Posted by: Melanie K. | 02/12/2011 at 07:37 AM
Dream catcher - small journal!
Posted by: Erin | 02/12/2011 at 07:28 AM
I think my very favorite is the small version of the dreamcatcher girl...journals are the essence of dreamcatchers...and the size looks like it would be nice & portable...
Posted by: Michelle Remy | 02/12/2011 at 07:16 AM
Hellllooooo, Papaya! I can't resist the Flora B. journal....such a pop of color.
Thank you for the giveaway.
Kindest regards,Missy from the bayou
Posted by: missy | 02/12/2011 at 06:24 AM
I like Sweet Surrender! :)
Posted by: Debbie Littlejohn | 02/12/2011 at 06:19 AM
I love "Now is the Time", because there is no other time like the present to get started with travel, with writings, paintings, whatever it is you love doing. In my case I will soon travel to my mother's homeland of Greece and hope to do sketches and writings to bring back to paint in her honor.
Posted by: Marsha | 02/12/2011 at 05:37 AM
I'm partial to the large Flamingo journal, especially since I'm a Florida native. I always plan little weekend adventures, and love to find out of the way restaurants, shops, parks, and roads. I collect brochures, playbills, ticket stubs, photographs, stamps, and other ephemera from my mini-trips. This journal is very apropos: I could see all of my treasures being stuffed into it until it barely closes.
Posted by: Nicoledgonzalez | 02/12/2011 at 04:52 AM
My fave is Shells - small journal. I also love papaya, but it´s not so easy to buy it in Germany.
Posted by: enjoy | 02/12/2011 at 02:45 AM
It always comes back to Fearless, for me. Love that Louise Brooks.
Posted by: Amanda Grace | 02/12/2011 at 02:10 AM
I'd love Shine for the big journal or Asian Butterfly for the small one!
Awesome stuff! :)
Posted by: Lydia | 02/12/2011 at 01:48 AM
My favorite is the large flora journal second is the life in progress journal...really they are all beautiful it was tough to choose.

Posted by: kt | 02/12/2011 at 12:15 AM
aaaaw, I wan the small one with Eiffel :)
Posted by: sepulture | 02/11/2011 at 11:53 PM
wow! these are great. i love the "flora" large journal and it's a tie between "ticket" and "fabulous". but really, they are all wonderful! :)
Posted by: nicole Austin | 02/11/2011 at 11:52 PM
I love the Anais Bloom large journal & the Sweet Surrender small journal - both messages are about growing, blooming, surrendering to life. Colors & artwork are gorgeous!
Posted by: Virginia | 02/11/2011 at 11:30 PM
Choose just one? But how? They are all gorgeous! My favorites are the large "Flora" journal and the small "Listen," "Believe," and "Flora Bird." I guess if I had to choose one it would be the "Flora" so I can fit more of my juicy secrets, but I would be happy with any of those! Love them all! The colors are divine.
Posted by: Diane G. | 02/11/2011 at 10:15 PM
I absolutely adore the Asian peony journal! What a pretty piece of functional art! I LoVe all the new additions. Your art brings me JoY thank you!
Posted by: Cassidy gardner | 02/11/2011 at 09:49 PM
i love the flora - large journal. it's gorgeous and i love flora bowley's art!
Posted by: annie | 02/11/2011 at 09:38 PM
They're all beautiful, so it is difficult to choose my favorite. In the small journals, I like the "shells" and in the large journal I like "Voyage".
Posted by: Camille | 02/11/2011 at 09:21 PM
How the heck do you only choose one?!
I think I'd have to go with Gnome Hat. She's just so quirky and adorable.
Posted by: Rhomany | 02/11/2011 at 09:10 PM
Hello PAPAYA Blog!
I have purchased many of your beautiful greeting cards and last year bought the "Grace" journal - which is one of my favorite things to open as I work through my morning pages. Love all your new designs and your site is one of my creative sparks. Thanks for sharing. Namaste~
Posted by: Sioux Campbell | 02/11/2011 at 09:08 PM
Eiffel tower is nice too.
Posted by: Debbie | 02/11/2011 at 08:52 PM

How to choose just one... but love the Lrg Sweet Surrender Journal... gorgeous!
Posted by: Jennifer White | 02/11/2011 at 08:50 PM
definitely, definitely, definitely, "Dream" is my absolute fav! :) but "Fearless" is a very close second.
Posted by: harmony | 02/11/2011 at 08:48 PM
The large Temple Girl journal speaks to me the loudest. It just tugs on my heart somehow!
Posted by: Slowlyunfolding | 02/11/2011 at 08:41 PM
The Listen small journal is my favorite! reminds me of life by the ocean :) love it, how relaxing!
Posted by: chelsea | 02/11/2011 at 08:18 PM
They are all fabulous but Lace is a favorite.
Posted by: Amy | 02/11/2011 at 07:53 PM
Wow! They are all so lovely. That was a really hard decision, but I am going with Temple Girl- since making my dreams come true is what this year is all about for me! Thanks for the chance to win!
Posted by: Heather | 02/11/2011 at 07:47 PM

love the large dream journal !! Big enough to capture all your dreams in !!
Posted by: Nichole Snyder | 02/11/2011 at 07:25 PM
I really love Day Dream and You are a Miracle. Can't decide, they are both speaking to me!
Posted by: Sarah | 02/11/2011 at 07:13 PM
Breaking Through, or Listen...hmmm. Hard enough to narrow it down to two!
They are all beautiful! Large & small.
Posted by: Heartsong | 02/11/2011 at 07:04 PM
They're all so beautiful! The one that is calling out to me is the Large Anais Bloom journal. It's going at the top of my wishlist!
Posted by: Suzanne B. | 02/11/2011 at 06:46 PM

How to pick, you have lovely things and I crave them all!
Posted by: Severine Nichols | 02/11/2011 at 06:00 PM
love anais bloom, and flamingo, but then I always like flamingos, if I have to choose probably anais bloom, but they ar all amazing.
Posted by: dru | 02/11/2011 at 06:00 PM
They are all so beautiful and unique! But just like I have found your art to speak to me at different-yet-just-the-right-moment times, I will go with the "Listen" small journal. How profound. Plus I don't have that one yet. LOL
Posted by: Teresa Sammis | 02/11/2011 at 05:47 PM
flora is my fav. However these are all awesome!!!
Posted by: karin | 02/11/2011 at 05:40 PM
they are all beautiful, but my fave is temple girl. thanks for the chance to win.
Posted by: shar r | 02/11/2011 at 05:36 PM
They are all so lovely, but since I am a huge Anais Nin fan, I must choose the "bloom" journal. I just turned 40 this year and am at a career/lifestyle crossroads and I feel like that quote!
Posted by: TappinTamara | 02/11/2011 at 05:12 PM
All so cool - but love "DREAM"
Cheryl
Posted by: Cheryl Connell | 02/11/2011 at 04:15 PM
Well,hmmm...how difficult is this? Very! I will make a decision though and it is "Shine"...my sister just marked her 5 years from last chemo session and she is certainly a part of the shine in my life! Thank you for such beautiful, inspirational creations.
Posted by: C | 02/11/2011 at 04:10 PM
Pastel or bright? Large or small? Too hard to choose! I would be so grateful to receive any one of these gorgeous journals.
Posted by: Keryl C | 02/11/2011 at 03:58 PM
