The Journal Newsletter

November/December 2016

Introduction

Happy Holidays! And a slightly-belated Happy Thanksgiving!

Use The Journal this holiday season for everything from wish lists to shopping lists, dinner plans to snap shots, and more! And if you’re the kind of person who gives software as a gift, The Journal is good for that too. =)

There’s a new update of The Journal 7 available. Check below in The Journal News for the details.

As always, we have a new set of writing prompts.

Thank you for choosing The Journal!
