There's extremely exciting news on the horizon for 123 Journal It Publishing ...We've been busy at work to bring you high quality spiral bound journals and we think you are gonna love them!
​
Our small family business has wanted to have a more hands-on approach to the manufacturing of our books since we began bringing you quality content journals in 2017 through print-on-demand sources. We are now thrilled to be able to soon start offering a high quality new print version that's been requested over and over again... spiral bound! ...and they will be fully made in the USA - manufactured by our small family business, in Sheboygan, Wisconsin! Yay!

Why spiral bound journals? Well, many people have shared over the past few years that they would love to have a journal that easily lays flat to write in and has more durable, lasting paper quality for the cover and interiors. After investing in sample after sample for spiral bound journals from printers that did not meet our satisfaction for quality, we decided to manufacture the spiral bound journals ourselves. Our focus is superb quality over quantity with a personal touch to each and every journal we produce from the in-house design to manufacturing process for these unique spiral notebooks.

Please join us for a shout of thankfulness and praise 🙌 and stay tuned for updates on retail availability expected online mid-October (Lord willing everything goes smoothly!). Be sure to follow us on all our social media too for sneak peak pictures and videos of the individual journals. Our unique spiral bound journal line will include a variety of both hobby and religious study journals as well as complimentary gift products.

Earlier last week on October 15th & 16th, I (Shalana) ​released three brand new journals in a new series I am creating called 25 Days - The Creative Bible Study Workbook Series. I had worked on these journals for about 6 months planning, writing, editing, and designing them, and was very excited and also nervous about putting them out there to the public. God truly blessed me though with a great surprise! Before I even announced anywhere that the new journals were live on Amazon, the 25 Days of Bible Verses for Praise & Thankfulness edition hit #1 as a Hot New Release in Amazon's Christian Stewardship category. Needless to say, I was beyond thrilled and so very thankful for such a great response. Although it didn't stay at the top spot long, it was great to see it in the top 10 in that category for hot new releases over the course of the entire week.

As I said, there are three new journals in this series which are part daily devotional and part creative coloring book. The journals each have a different theme - Christmas Advent, Praise & Thankfulness, & Mothers - with 25 sets of verses provided in each journal that go along with the different topics. I truly feel that these new journals will bless anyone who endeavors to use them and doodle/color along to learn more of God's Word. They are beautiful print quality with colorful matte covers and pretty illustrations throughout. Whether for an individual study, small church group, or as a gift of encouragement, the 25 Days series of journals are unique devotionals meant to help you easily focus on scripture.

I just wanted to say a big HUGE "thank you" for your continued support of 123 Journal It. We are coming up on 2 years into our little family's independent publishing business this January. In that time span we've published 103 Christian education journals so far and God blessed us with a 3,000% increase in print book sales from last Aug/Sept 2017 to this Aug/Sept 2018. Our subscriber list (extended family!) has also grown to almost 2,000 since last October 2017. We are shocked and grateful at the Lord's abundant kindness to us. I'm not going to gloss over it, it has sincerely been many sleepless, work filled nights, followed by early mornings and lots of fumbles, stumbles, and patience as we grow, but we are thankful for every minute spent in this ministry and new family business of ours. A truly heartfelt thanks to you, our customers and subscribers for your support this past couple years. We ask you to pray with us for many more prosperous years to serve the Lord and you in providing quality journals to help you hide God's Word in your heart.

Much love to you and yours,
The Frisby Family - Shalana, Stephen, & Rowynn (...and Lucky the cat, although she's very ornery!)
