My Pretty Little Paper World

I am continuing to enjoy creating in my little paper world.

I often add to my journal collection.

Both art journals and writing journals, and anytime possible I try to create a book that can contain space for both. Any book that has a beautiful cover and wonderful pretty paper is simply a must have.

And I am actually making a very conscious effort to use my books and not just save them.

Midori Traveler's Notebook

 My latest addition is a brown Midori Notebook. 

It's wonderful!

The cover is a beautiful soft leather and it expands to hold numerous little books.

I've added an unlined book for doodling and a lined book for thoughts.

Next on my add to list is a plastic zip sleeve, a craft paper booklet, and I'm currently working on creating the perfect handmade pockets.

Pretty Paper Journal

This wonderful little book is full of the most romantic and beautiful paper. I've altered the size, rounded the corners, and added holes to a good portion of the paper and am now using it for creative thoughts journaling in my art planner.

Paper Fanatic

I've come to the conclusion that I am a paper fanatic. 

I love paper.

 Pretty paper or drawing paper; any type of paper is a toy for me. It makes it difficult to complete a journal because as soon as I get new paper I want to try it. By the end of any given day I'll have several art journals and sketch books scribbled in. I've often wondered if I should tear all the paper from my books and store them all together in a ringed binder. It would be the best of both worlds; trying many types of new paper while still keeping all my work together. 

Would I still be able to field journal with it? I have the feeling that I would have it stuffed so full that it would be difficult to travel with. Maybe one day I'll be brave enough to destroy a book and give it a try. 

A Collection Of Journals

From top to bottom;

• New drawing paper. Super thick and amazing quality. Perhaps a new favorite.
• Sketchbook. Beautiful cover, light weight, and purse size.
• Art journal. Huge pages with lots of room.

Bear, Fancy Dumbo Furbaby

And of coarse, Bear is almost a constant fixture on my work desk. He's now litter box trained and doesn't mark, so I love to spend the day with him supervising. He'll just quietly rest on my markers and watch. I can even snack while working and he won't budge. Never sticks his nose in my plate; just sweetly waits to be offered nibbles. My pups aren't even that well behaved, lol.

Many hugs to my wonderful arts and crafts buddies,

Anna
