I’m a fan of Paperblanks notebooks. I own several of them but I had never actually used one until quite recently, when I decided to bite the bullet and try using a Paperblanks Flexis notebook as a daily journal.

The folks at Paperblanks were kind enough to send me some samples after seeing my review of their “Old Leather” notebook. I am so glad they did, as I really love the notebooks they sent. Though there are things about them that are not 100% what I tend to look for in notebooks for my … Continue reading Review and Giveaway: Paperblanks Mini Reporter Notebooks→

This week’s addict posted the image below on Flickr: A nice collection, with Rite in the Rain, Moleskine (cahiers and regular), Rhodia, Paperblanks and Miquelrius. He’s also written about his notebook choices here. See the original image and comments at Notebooks – never enough.
This week’s addict says “I’m Ina, I’m twenty, I live in Manila, Philippines. If I wasn’t broke right now, I would run to a bookstore and buy as much notebooks as I like. Sigh.” Love these photos, which include a friend standing in as a measuring tool! This was her collection as of March 31, … Continue reading Notebook Addict of the Week: Ina→
This week’s addict emailed me a link to her first and second blog posts about her obsession with journals: From Part 1: Yes it is true, I love notebooks. I mean L.O.V.E.
