"Not the best material, but good enough to do the job. I used for my girl scout troop of 28 girls and they loved it. The fabric markers bled a little on the material, but overall I think this is a great product at a great price!"

A really good purchase

"I bought the journals for our youth group, children 7 to 12. The kids really enjoyed decorating them. The shipping time was very good they came in , in less than a week. They were just as described. The quality of the books are very good."

Nice idea, poor quality pages
Date: October 7, 2009
"The covers are great for decorating and hold up well. The pages are thin, poor quality paper. The stitching in the binding is also poor quality, and the pages sometimes fall out. These will not tolerate much abuse."

Good for the money
Date: August 14, 2009
"These were fun to decorate. I bought them for my daughter's birthday party. Although on the small side, the paper/pages were decent quality (not tissue paper thin like others) and the binding/cover well made. The covering however, is a thick coarse fabric and destroyed the permanent markers we used to decorate. This is the only reason I gave 4 out of 5 stars."

Great activity for older children
Date: August 5, 2009
"I used these journals for an overseas mission trip project for children age 7-14. They really enjoyed decorating them. The quality was good for the price. I especially liked that we could use regular magic markers with no concerns about bleeding. I thought thin markets worked the best. Also used foam stickers, glitter glue pens, and jeweled stickers. Worked great! I would use these again."

A great product.
Date: February 17, 2009
"These books can be used in so many ways. My grand children love to write poems and stories. What's better than actually being able to write them in a real book.
I just bought a dozen of these books for my Civil War class. To learn about the people during the war, I have the students keep a journal. I have searched for a blank book for over a year. I have used papers stapled together and I found a some blank books that are 8x10. How can a soldier carry an 8x10 book with him while going into battle? That is certainly not realistic. This little book is perfect! It is the right size and carefully put together.
