Notebooks Received as Gifts

Happy New Year! I am glad to report that during my holiday hiatus, I received several new notebooks as Christmas gifts:

From my mom: a Moleskine Pocket Sketchbook, a Cachet Sketch Book, and a small Strathmore Drawing Pad (along with some nice drawing pencils).

From a friend: a Moleskine Japanese Album and a Moleskine Weekly Planner & Notebook. I’ve never owned one of the Japanese albums, so I’m not sure yet how I’ll use it. I really wanted the Weekly Planner– it’s the nifty red one that includes several pages of stickers– I seem to have reverted to my 12-year old self in falling in love with these stickers that I mostly won’t use! I keep my calendar electronically, so it’s sort of silly for me to want this kind of Moleskine at all, but so far I am using it as a food and exercise journal, and using the notes page to record dreams. Perhaps I’ll uncover some interesting patterns of dreaming about certain things on days when I don’t eat meat, or something like that…

How about you, readers? New year, new notebook? Did you receive any notebooks as Christmas gifts?

  1. Hy, I had the wish for a moleskine, but no money leftover and nobody send me some or so. Happy those who have one…

  2. I like to keep it simple.

    For CAPTURING quick notes I use a metal Flip Note

    I process/organize them later. I can easily trash notes that I don’t want to save.
