This week’s addict emailed me some photos and the following story:
“I’ve loved notebooks since I was a little kid. But this year things got crazy with the super cheap back to school sales at Staples, Walmart, and the dollar stores. Even though a single notebook was as cheap as $0.50, I ended up spending around $80 to fill up the spare room in my cubicle at work with single subject and composition books. When I ran out of space the impulse thankfully melted away, and now I’m happily imagining all the wonderful things I’m going to use my (probably lifetime supply) of writing materials. I just filled one single subject book up this week, and opened another. The sheer volume of materials that I have motivate me to use them for jotting down stories, solving math problems, taking school notes, lists, work notes, and preparing for when the baby comes. Attached are pictures of my stash. I don’t know exactly how many I have unused, probably 160! O_o”
I love notebook collections with variety, but I think I love it even more when I see a collection that single-minded focuses on hoarding a favorite style of notebook, and this is sure one of those! Thanks for sharing your addiction, Bubba!
This is fantastic!
When I scrolled down, I thought they’d taken photos of my [much smaller] collection.
I used to buy these also when I would find them on sale, but I made sure to number them and date them. I would then use them in order and [slowly] change the covers as I used them. Sticking on things, gluing, coloring, etc.
I stopped using them some time in college… Now they’re all in storage. The full ones and empty ones.
