It was all I could do to politely keep my distance while she leafed through her notebooks. Surely there's a way for me to make a good living off my obsession with handwriting, journal-keeping, and secrets. Isn't there?
For the HA 'website' challenge, and also for joining a challenge at 2Peas, 'Thinking Inking Class Week 5'.
I was so inspired from the card at the Techniques Article section:
Many Enhance your projects with a bit of flair! by Shari Carroll .
I've been adoring the one at the bottom most.
So I tried to make like that image to use a piece of Tim Holtz fragment using Rubs-on resisting technique that I learned from Jennifer's class at 2Peas this week.
After my image was finished, I decided to make it for my notebook.
*I used several alcohol ink techniques for this.
stamp used:
HA SE: Artistic Windows / S5041 (The manuscript stamp on a paper flower.)
HA Clear design Friends / CL351 (I use only the word 'inspire' from the sentiment 'You inspire me')

Sorry for the inconvenience for the people are used to enjoy reading it.

- My little notebook I always carry around. I write down movies I want to see, music I want to download, books I want to read, quotes and much more in it.
- My gratitude-diary. I've seen this on Oprah. Every day you have to write down (at least) 5 things you are grateful for that day. She said it would change your life/the way you see your life. I believe it can.
- My quote-book.
Have had several people email me an' comment about my luck on finding the right light, scene, objects, etc. Here's my "luck"; a notebook I keep on my truck seat when I'm traveling. I've gotten fairly good at writing in it, while driving, without looking at the page...
Here's where I keep various notebooks. Not pictured: The extremely worn-out jotter Volant that lives in my jacket and is soon to be retired, and a yearly planner moleskine I got for way-cheap at a bookstore. There's also a contacts book I got a few years ago that seldom leaves my desk.
Most of these are still being used for their particular purposes. Noted above are a couple or three blanks which are handy in case of a rainy day or anticipated future use.
My preferred "standard" notebook is a squared pocket moleskine. These are fine and durable multipurpose books, and the grid lines are good for impromptu tables, maps or other arranging jobs. They're also among the most common Moleskines and are findable pretty much any place that sells journals.
I'm such a notebook junkie. I blame this on my parents, who had a stock of blank books around when I was very young. I also blame this on plentiful little Italian notebooks.
Japanese stationery giant KOKUYO launched the Systemic series of notebook cover since Nov 2008. I totally missed this new product range but when I was in a trip to Shanghai meeting KOKUYO representatives there, I saw a nice leaflet for Systemic and enquired about it. A few days ago I received samples and found them very pleasant to use.
The Systemic series has 3 sizes (B5, A5 and A6) and two colors to choose from. Although the cover is specifically designed for Campus notebooks in the same sizes, I found that the A5 and A6 versions also work well with Moleskine's large and pocket size notebooks!!!
It is really a simple non-intrusive notebook cover. You can insert any two of the wide variety of Campus notebooks in it. The Campus notebook line also has free or dated diary versions so it can easily be used for business or personal. A nice looking ribbon tied to eyelets makes two bookmarks. An outer pocket on both the front and back cover provides temporary storage and act as a pen holder. A good quality elastic band provides enclosure function.
I think it is a great answer to many people who like to consistently use a refillable notebook but need an outer jacket/cover to hold more items or have a better presentation. To Moleskine fans who are yet to find a nice cover, this might be an answer too.

a slim notebook i recently purchased at the alameda antique fair / flea market. it is from 1899-1906 and in german.
..a close-up of the notebook-style journalling on the page. I just stapled a bunch of notebook papers into a little pad. =)
Everyone keeps admiring the moleskine. I admit, I fell into the popularity and brought one too. It's very cute and fun, but I think I found competition for the moleskine. It's very cute too.
It's a notebook from a japanese company called "Kokuyo". They're very similiar to many ways. Starting at the cover, both have a rubberband to keep the book closed. View my other photos for a comparison
This notebook is made from felt and was hand embroidered from a pattern drawn by myself.
