Coming from a very unorganized person, Susan Branch's book of days really kept me in line. I still use and practically take it everywhere with me. I recieved dozens of compliments- even from guys on how cool it was. It became very inspirational and comforting even when I was having a bad day. I LOVE this book and I guarentee anyone who needs to keep their days organized should definately check it out. Branch is brilliant!

I bought this little day calendar to give as a gift to my sister. When I began looking through it I decided to keep it for myself!!!! It works great as a gratitude journal or as an appt. book. I recommend it for everyone! (Don't worry...I will be getting another one for my sister!)

what a treat and a beautiful book to pick up and just look through. I just received this by post 2 days ago and have already started recording events in it each night before I go to sleep.....and then I read through the whole book again...many late nights in store. What a shame Susan Branch is not readily available in New Zealand, but what a delicious find! Keep them coming Susan.

I just discovered Susan Branch's stickers/books/stencils/stamps/etc. I ordered this book for next year, and want to get one for my sister. It's so cute, and there are lots of Susan's drawings and watercolored leaves, flowers, and hearts...I can't wait to start using it. Couldn't find this in the bookstores anymore, so I ordered it from Amazon and got it within 3 days.

This journal is timeless! It truly is one of the nicest works of art in the watercolor genre. I was looking for a gift and found this at a local store. Amazon.com had it for great savings...so I bought another for myself! I occasionally collect things that tickle my creativity - this is one of the top of the list treasures. A must have for all watercolor artists and lovers of great penmanship! Thank you Susan, your really brighten a lot of days! Thanks for sharing your talent, you should write an article for Somerset Studio magazine, what a great feature of the month that would be! Christine

This is the greatest, most beautiful book, calendar! I am going to be giving one of these to everyone for gifts! This book can brighten your day every time you open it, with the beautiful drawings and sayings. You will not be disapointed.

Susan Branch's wonderful artwork and stories that are throughout this perpetual calendar/journal always brings a smile. She comes from a large family, and shares creative and thoughtful ideas for entertaining, celebrations, and holidays that I find to be an inspiration. The binding allows it to lay flat, the paper used takes ink nicely, and the dated spaces are generous. Even after making good use of this same book for so long, I've never grown tired of it, and look forward to starting a new one each year. With the purchase of this one for 2007, I now have a row on my bookshelf dating to 1997!

This book is a journal but Susan Branch has added many things to make it so much better than any other journal I've ever had before. There are quotes, receipes, encouraging & happy sayings and much, much more. Each month there are lists of things to do or receipes for that month. Susan wrote some of her favorite things to do during that time of year and some of her experiences. It is a nice way to relax. I read & write in it most evenings(after the kids are asleep!) to help take the stress of the day away. Kisa Pickl

Writing a journal has always been difficult for me, especially in a blank book. DAYS makes writng down my thoughts and memories a joy because I am so inspired by the comments, ideas and illustrations throughout the book. I look forward to browsing as well as making notes of my days. I Thanks for a beautiful way to remember the special moments in life! I know that I will enjoy looking through this book for years to come. Even when I am sporadic with my writing, there is something lovely to look at on the pages. I plan to buy this book as a gift for others.

I have searched for years for a calendar, engagement book or appointment book that is cute like this, with all the pretty artwork and flowers, to no avail. (This book doesn't have the days of the week. Just the date numbers.) So I had tons of different colored pens and I made a sample sheet of each color and then I carefully wrote the days for the upcoming year above or below the Numbered days, in colors that complimented the numbers and the artwork. :-) It's a lot of work but it's actually kind of fun and the book works great as a calendar/engagement book. I'm a perfectionist too, so it looks great. I really wish she would put them out every year as a calendar/engagement book like I've made it into, but that's okay. It doesn't stop me. ;-) I've done this two different years so far, and will do it again! Get yourself a few of these now, like I did, and get them ready for upcoming years. Then you won't have to pay future engagement calendar prices!! You'll LOVE THIS BOOK!!
