I have to admit it.. I am TOTALLY addicted to Moleskine Journals! I have 1/2 a dozen of them, probably 3 of which are partially filled, and 1 of which is filled to the very last page.... MY Road Trip Journal. This one I am so proud of.. 1)it is the only souvenir I brought home from our road trip of any importance. 2)I actually finished the journal in its entirety (probably my ONLY journal I have finished) 3)It serves as a great reminder to me that if I set my mind to something I CAN finish it.
If you don't know about them.. you are definitely missing out! They are made extremely well ,(well worth the money) they STRAP so as your pages don't get bent, they FEEL good in your hands and they are excellent for just keeping in your purse to jot down an idea that strikes you when least expected. Not to mention the HISTORY of them is pretty cool as well! They have entertained the likes of Henri Matisse to Earnest Hemingway!
~~And now that I am thinking about it.. I just hope there were no little moles hurt to make them~~~
:( hummmm
They can be somewhat difficult to find in stores but there are ample places to buy on-line (including their own online store). I usually buy mine at PaperZone only because this is my closest supplier and when I want one I don't feel like waiting for it to ship.
I just found out they have a NEW watercolor page journal out now!!! How beautiful would that be..?? an entire Moleskine journal filled with watercolor!
I think the next best thing to a Moleskine, would of course be a handmade journal.. but me personally.. I just don't have the time. So I will "settle" (NOT) for my Magical Moleskine!
Yes, yes! Yay for moleskine! I love my moleskines too!
Thanks for the goody bag that was with Kim's journal sweet girl, i love it!! There is a little package with your address on it heading your way next week :-)

P.S. I too hope that no moles are actually hurt in the process of making moleskins. *That totally makes me laugh* I thank you for that as I was having a simply DREADFUL day
