Rocking two limited edition inks in my pens got me thinking about the FOMO and the fear of using up…

When I need to get things done, it’s time to bust out the workhorse colors.

Some reasons to let notebooks rest to come back to later.

My “first” pen show. An amazing visit with amazing pen people and seeing so many amazing things!

Wrapping up trying out 30 blue inks in 30 days and working on some short stories.

Changing out some notebooks and still playing with inks during my #30inks30days challenge.

Wherein some notebook modifications ensued, seven more blue inks are played with, and another story is started.

It’s the first #30ink30days challenge of 2023! Here are my first seven ink picks for my blue/purple color scheme.

Update on my ink collection project for the year! Lots of shimmer, blue, and some surprising current favorites!

I am a paper addict… and I have some new papers to play with thanks to a visit to St. Paul, Minnesota.

Sharing my thoughts on the different types of Kaweco nibs along with a new currently inked and new pen day!

Sometimes you get a pen that just doesn’t click… but that’s one of the great things about this hobby, so many things to try! This week a pen that didn’t work out, a pen that did, and some new inky fun!

Thinking of my Bic Cristal days and pondering whether that’s why I love Colorverse Office Blue so much.

Eight currently inked pens and some traveler’s notebook rearranging.

I was flying through different inks and papers this week looking for inspiration. I was reminded of an important lesson - sometimes the nib really does matter.

I really love notebook systems. It lets me play with all sorts of inserts while also having a beautiful cover with character. A little retelling of where I started and where I am today.

Paper discoveries and old favorites in the first month of 2023. I am also rediscovering some old favorite inks and trying out some new ones that I’ve had for a while.

My very first ink review! I am looking at Ferris Wheel Press Velvet Ballet. It’s a great subtle shimmer ink for when you are looking for a red, but don’t want something too bold.
