Here’s someone who has just finished one Moleskine sketchbook and is about to start another: I love what she wrote about using her notebooks: I carry my moleskine almost everywhere I go — it’s my calandar, it’s my reference book, it’s my crossword-puzzle-holder, it’s my playground,it’s my portfolio, it’s my storybook, it’s my notebook, it’s … Continue reading Moleskine Monday: Old and New

Notebook Addict of the Week: Style of Mine

This week, we have a Kiwi Notebook Addict, a “petite, geeky journalist-in-training living in New Zealand.” Here’s her stash: I really like those wire-bound ones with the photo collages on the covers.

Moleskine Monday: Three in One

Here’s a fun Moleskine hack I found on Flickr, taking the pages out of a planner and using the cover to hold 3 cahiers. I’ve been wanting to try something similar myself, but with the cahiers somehow bound to the cover rather than remaining loose when the elastic is opened. Haven’t quite figured out how … Continue reading Moleskine Monday: Three in One
