WOYWW 34: Notebooks & Journals

Paris Notebook

I am a notebook addict. It goes along with being a journal junkie, a stationery stasher, a paper princess – well, you catch my drift! I’m one of those gals who could spend hours pouring over blank books until I find just the right one!

Pool Parties Notebook

So, I thought I’d share a few fun notebooks I picked up awhile back. Don’t you love the fun, fashionista covers? Back to school never looked this good!

New York Notebook

The interior pages are color coded by sections so these are perfect for artists and other creative souls!

Haute Couture Notebook

I recently received a box of goodies from Diane Dezso at Paper Crazy – among the yummies she sent was a Journal Decorating Kit from Making Memories. The package includes a journal, pen, rub-ons, and stickers.  Just peeking inside the packaging got my creative juices flowing. With Christmas just around the corner, why not transform your unused stash into decorative journals, notebooks, list pads, recipe cards, and the like? You can create a kit like this using products from your own craft room!

Making Memories Whimsy Journal Decorating Kit

Speaking of which, remember several weeks ago when I was making up card kits and I showed you a peek at the peacock baggie I was putting together?  I finally completed my Peacock Card – click here if you’d like to take a peek!

Well, the kitties are trying to stay cool by hanging out in the shower today, so I’ll have to share their photos the next time round, but if you visit Julia at Stamping Ground, you’ll not only find out what’s on the workdesks of artists around the globe, you’ll also meet Bluebeard and Thomas and Pablo and some of the other crafty cats I visit each week! Hopefully they are cooler than mine – Maine Coons were not built for 110 degree days!

Happy What’s On Your Workspace Wednesday my friends!

    Morning, just love your notebooks. I too like looking in stationery shops and mull over the covers of note books, bet you buy two of the same sometimes as you get drawn to the colour and front and when you get home you've already got it. Have a lovely day and kisses to kittys JO.xx

    Loved seeing your notebooks. I love journals too. Almost don't want to write in them! I just found that MM journal kit at a local discount store. It was the last one and on sale and I was trying to not be that crafter who's dancing in the aisles with her sale find. LOL! I can't wait to use it. Maybe we can compare projects! 🙂 Nan

    I know, I know. I'm really late getting here. I had a good excuse, so you might want to check back tomorrow. Anyway, thanks for thinking of me today. My computer geek Scott came by about the time I was loading the linky and I think my virus problem is fixed. Love those notebooks. You have a very wide variety. Now use them (grin).

    Bleubeard is like Legend and Tsunami. Lazy and still hating the heat. Still shedding like crazy, and most days finds a way to retreat to the basement.
