Daily writing promptWhat brands do you associate with?View all responses I'm not loyal to any brands in particular. I kind of enjoy trying different brands. Of course, it's harder to try more expensive brands, but when I can afford it, I'll give them a try. Having said that, I definitely have a weakness for notebooks,... Continue Reading →
This is my A6 Hobonichi Techo 2024 (ends April 2025). I use this planner to journal every day life stuff. It started out as a genre-writing note-taking tracker, but I wasn't taking notes for my stories everyday so decided to turn it into an everyday journal. I also wanted to start using my fountain pens... Continue Reading →
This was my second year using the Hobonichi Weeks as my reading planner. The year before, I used a traveler's notebook size, which was the perfect size for me, but I had a hard time finding inserts for my notebook cover. After two years in the Weeks, I wanted to go slightly bigger. On the... Continue Reading →
Now onto working on May's pages. I've fallen behind somehow, and I think it's due to having very little time to print my photos. So, because of that, I've remedied the situation by getting a new printer: a Kodak Mini 2 Retro. This prints 2.1x3.4 photos using a dye sublimation system, same as my Canon... Continue Reading →
It's been a busy month. I've got a couple of book reviews to post and a few books to read before the end of the month. I think I might only be able to get through two more books. Daughter started swim meets and I think that's what put me behind. Anyway, here's the March... Continue Reading →
If you know me, you'll know that I can't resist a beautiful leather notebook cover for my notebooks. I ordered this one for myself for Mother's Day. It's an A6 size in the No. 10 style (which is a button closure) in the Secret Garden line and in the color rose, a pretty brilliant pink.... Continue Reading →
I've been trying to spend more time in my bujo (bullet journal). I don't often complete a journal thoroughly, but this year, I plan to. However, I did make that one mistake of using gesso on my weekly pages and that slowed down my process. These pages I'm sharing are only of the fun stuff,... Continue Reading →
Daily writing promptWhen are you most happy?View all responses I'm most happy when I can read, paint, and do other art things. However, my happiness hinges on the well-being and happiness of my family. There was a time when I didn't have what I have now, so I don't take it for granted.
Today I want to share with you how I track the books I read. This little weeks notebook cover holds two notebooks. One is a Hobonichi Weeks and the other is a Kinbor from Ali Express. Initially, I avoided the Weeks because I thought it was too small. I needed the space, especially in the... Continue Reading →
I think this is my most exciting unboxing. I've been wanting the April leather for a year now. It originally came out in 2022 but was sold out quickly and I wasn't quick enough to grab myself one. Chic Sparrow brought it back and I made the move. Here's the unboxing. Photos are below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JMUrrlDpQnY
