While browsing around on Leuchtturm’s website a while back, I came across these interesting items: stamp albums! At first, I didn’t know what they were, as the heading calls them “Travel Stockbooks.” I love the idea of a special notebook to safely hold stamps, in a format matching their other notebooks.

I noticed this in the Wall Street Journal recently: Rachel Ray says “the most important things in my life are my notebooks.” She uses composition books to record recipes and ideas.

In it, I talk about an important shift in my notebook usage habits– from being fickle and switching notebooks before finishing them, to filling every page. You can see the comments on … Continue reading Revisiting the Past: More on Finishing Notebooks (2014)
