New Year, New Notebooks
Happy New Year, friends! I hope you celebrated the last day of 2013 doing some of your favorite things. The last day of the year usually makes me feel a little wistful, but as 2013 morphed into 2014, I felt excited and hopeful and energized. I'm a big believer in how powerful our minds can be and as the days of last year ebbed away, I spent a lot of time thinking about how I want my new year to be. Let's just say that I felt in need of an attitude adjustment.
So, the new year will be full of new beginnings and new challenges (the good kind, mind you) and the best way for me to keep my inspiration flowing is to jot all my thoughts and tasks down in new notebooks.
One of the highlights of 2013 was when we traveled to Barcelona on our family holiday, and I couldn't resist this beautiful daily planner at one of the local bookstores we frequented. It's fully illustrated with the most charming drawings by Mar Cerda ~ just perusing this blog is an inspiration in itself.
In mid-December, I also placed an order over at Fringe Supply, a well-curated site by the ever talented Karen. I can never resist adding new notebooks to my collection and these pocket-size graph/lined cuties are going to come in handy as I make notes on projects and new designs.
So, I'm all set for this brand new year and I'm looking forward to filling these books with tons of plans, projects, and doodles. Are you a notebook hoarder, too?
Happy New Year! I love notebooks and planners and yours are so fun looking! I have two calendars for my desk at work--while not really a notebook, it is close! I have a small wall type done by Susan Branch which I and two of my co-worker write on for days off and stuff--and then I also got the Mary Engelbreit flip desk calendar. I think I should find a notebook and keep track of my finished books in hard copy rather just on my blog and I should go organize that electronic version of a notebook on Ravelry called a Favorites List!

Love those new notebooks of yours! I am a pretty disorganized person but ironically love collecting journals and notebooks, too. They symbolize a fresh start and a clean slate. Here's to a wonderful new year full of fun creative possibilities!
ReplyDeleteSuch cute notebooks. They are perfect for a new year. I don't mean to but I somehow have become a bit of a notebook hoarder. I am also a sketchbook hoarder as well...
ReplyDeleteI love notebooks too. Fresh pages waiting to be filled. Good for you on treating yourself Hau 'oli makahiki hou!
ReplyDeletefun! i enjoy writing in a (digital) notepad but what i love is going back days or weeks later to remind myself of all the great ideas i had. so inspiring!
ReplyDeleteI love notebooks too....but have found I've never been able to keep a diary/journal...until blogging...it's my diary...
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous notebook! I'm about halfway through one I started last year, so no 'fresh' one for me, but I'm hoping to fill every page. Have fun filling yours!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful notebooks! Happy 2014!
