i’ve literally been obsessed with your content recently. i’m an artist but recently i’ve been getting more into writing and journaling. at this point i’ve become a collector of different pens and inks haha. i like watching your videos in my free time to see what kinds of products are out there, i also just find your voice very relaxing and comforting. it’s nice to know im not the only stationary geek out there

I also dream about pocket Moleskine expanded. My favorite notebook search would be over. 🙂

I messaged the moleskine website a few weeks ago requesting an undated daily pocket planner with extra note pages but keeping the yearly/monthly overview 😊 I also suggested they release exclusive covers each year to keep customers coming back. What a dream!!

I have a simple leather cover with bands, from Patricia Nash. I think it was sold with just a notebook. But, it's the perfect size for the WM Pen + Gear daily planners. I LOVE it! I cut down an eccolo monthly planner, so I would have a place to see the entire year, and cut down a Dollar Tree notebook and put in the back, for notes. I absolutely love my little creation.

I think I will use this brilliant idea of yours to make a chunky a5 slim notebook with some of the a5 ones I have that aren’t as thick as I’d like. So glad you shared this idea! 💡

Good idea with the multiple notebooks being bonded together. I'd be able to save the trip to the office supply store, I'd just take mine out to the shop and use the chop saw and cut it down to the size I want. A band saw would be the best way, but with a good blade on a table saw or chop saw you could get the same results if you don't want to go to the store to have your custom notebooks cut down....for rounding the corners a belt or disc sander would make quick work of the corner rounding. The black tape is a great idea, although there are several different colors available now to kind of match your task. I like the Traveler's style passport size notebooks, and have been thinking about making a multi-notebook like you did, just to have 1 notebook in the cover rather than several. Another thing you could do is buy lined, grid, or blank notebooks, and combine them together as well for different notebook tasks. I don't really journal, I use them for notes and task lists for home and work.

I too miss Kent from Oz. I wish he could post more videos

My Myrittle ships this week and I’m so excited. I got a sample with my customs I got this weekend from May. And I’m even more excited. And now I think I might need a JL brown with it too. Oh no 🤑

Love the color of that cover !

Love it! I actually already had this idea in mind to replace my stalogy due budget cuts. Just an FYI, I brought a cheap brand of a twsbi eco dupe on Amazon, Epakh- 4 pack refillable fountain pens, filled them with noodler's black ink and they write on that dollar tree paper beautifully without bleed through and very little ghosting. In fact I like the Epakh brand pens better than my twsbi...they are more inky and flow better. I brought them for my teen boys for homeschool as they were going through gel pens so fast with all the writing they do. Since it came with 4 pen I grabbed one as well and have been waiting with it all month and find it's to be my go to writing pen on all the papers even on Tomoe River paper, now as we all know Tomoe River paper takes some dry time, but this pen actually makes me like Tomoe River paper. Depending on the paper you might have to watch for transfer ink issues especially if your journaling fast and page after page. I just use another piece of loose paper in-between as I journal and don't have a problem. They hold a good deal of ink and I feel they're a good weight. I have small hands and I'm soft handed when I write. My twsbi eco always felt very heavy and my hand would get very tired writing with it. I don't have that issue with the Epakh brand. It does post well but I'm not one who post the cap when using fountain pen, but note that I have only have experience with twsbi eco and the Epakh brand. The Epakh brand is making me more interested in fountain pens where the twsbi eco did not make me feel like hey fountains are the way to go. My boys are on summer break so I don't have a full review from them yet, but their first impressions were good and they are willing to use them. One did some sketches with it and liked it quite well. At the moment I would say it's the perfect pen.

It's gorgeous! Thank you so much for sharing the notebook hack. I recently purchased my 1st Mileskine and I love it ❤

I love doing my own thing. DIY notebooks especially! Living in a smaller town, with no mall I don’t want to drive two hours to look for moleskin books. I was shopping on Amazon and was tricked with the sale price when they tacked on 7.00 per notebook for delivery.

i did this with composition notebooks. I also went to staples and had them cut the book down. I just told them the dimensions i wanted and they cut them perfectly. Then I put the 3 books together and now i have a jumbo 5x7 comp notebook :)

I made one tonight!! Brilliant!!! Thank you for sharing! I bought 3 more to make a second one. While I was at Dollar Tree, I also found blank B6 size notebooks that were bound the same, but they were filled with different colors of paper. I was on a mission for these, but now I keep wondering...🤔
