The idea is simple enough. I’d be interested to know if anyone has used this book. Please share in the comments section […]

Heather asked a good question on Saturday’s entry.

Analyse This

There seems to be some emphasis on handwriting analysis lately. I saw a post this month on Notebookism.com on the same topic. I suppose it got me thinking. I did try to use the website they linked to, but it wouldn’t work for me over several days, so I gave up. But tonight I figured […]

Novety Pens

I had an interesting response to the entry the other day on using colour in your journal. Holly shared her love of novelty pens. I felt this was something I’ve been overlooking. From time to time I see a pen with a gorgeous purple feather on it and I have an urge to purchase the […]
