Sunday Reads: Books, Pens, Kids, And Dogs

It was a hectic and eclectic week so my links have no common thread. However, I did come across a video about keeping a commonplace journal that rekindled my interest in that genre. If regular journaling lacks appeal, a commonplace book might be just the right rhythm for you…

A Paperblanks journal that has been languishing in my collection for years and would make a beautiful home for a commonplace book.
