Midori Traveler's Notebook

Last week my absolutely wonderful husband that knows me too well, gave me a gift voucher to celebrate me writing my first draft of my first novel.

The gift voucher was for an online store called NoteMaker.  A stationery store...

Obviously they had some amazing things that I love like washi tape and pens but I decided to buy something that I had talked myself out of liking.  

So I had seen the Midori Traveler's Notebook around online,and had thought, 'Oh, that looks nice. But I already have a heap of notebooks.'  Part of me also scoffed at paying so much for a square of leather, but apparently I am too lazy to make my own fauxdori.

Anyway, when I saw that Notemaker had them in stock, I just went with it.  A week later I had a tasty bundle of stationery awaiting me at the P O Box.

I like a stationery store that has its own sticky tape design.  Also an awesome foldable card pocket thing that housed my invoice.

Grid pages

I'm using my Midori for a self esteem love myself happy thought journal.  

It will also feature my cats.

I also bought these too cute for real mini pacers by Delfonics.  I think I want them in every colour.  I gave one to C as a thank you. To keep it in the Midori I also bought a Leuchturm1917 pen loop.

I am so happy with my new purchase and now that I'm a 'friends for life' I will be visiting NoteMaker again :)

Week 19

What a week for stationery!  Look at all my new lovelies.  I did get some for my husband as we'll so we wouldn't fight over them.

Double trouble - color eno leads so we each have a set.

I bought all if these from pokydaddy on eBay. I will be buying from them again.

Uni ball made these lovelies - they are erasable.

And then I also got myself a Coleto.  Ohhhh so good.  I see another in my future.

I hope my stationary haul makes up for my lackluster spread.

I really wanted a sewing based theme but do you know that I didn't have a single sewing sticker?  

Week 10

A little bit pretty was my theme for this week's spread.

Still trying to get through my to do list - they were left overs from the weeks before!

I so feel accomplished because Ihave finished office desk.  Here is a peek inside my new drawers. 

This has been a very slow project 

• making the sorters

• building the drawers

• buying new pen drawers

• sorting, sorting, sorting

• moving everthing to make it work

So that's it at the moment.  It still not perfect - the pink drawers need sorting and I'm not in love with the yellow hold-all.  But it's done.

My next job in this room is my overflowing shelves of work related books.
