Our latest addict of the week is a regular reader who submitted this photo of her stash, safely guarded by two interesting little figures:
Looks like a nice collection of Piccadilly and Moleskine notebooks, plus some other brands I don’t recognize, all ready to filled up with creativity, perhaps some early drafts of her blog posts [...]
This blog was one year old on September 12th. 260 posts, about 75,000 unique visitors, 413 comments, and I don’t know how many new notebooks– not bad for a first year! Thanks to everyone who’s been reading, commenting, and sending me great notebook tips, photos and samples! And just let me know if there’s anything [...]

Do you ever leave the colored wraparound strip on your notebook? Or you’ve at least thought it looks kind of nice, and missed it a little after you took it off and your Moleskine was back to just being all black?
