i'll be swinging you around

lately i've been on the hunt for a new notebook. a nice compact place to keep my thoughts, lists and calendars. i've been using my blackberry, which does the job very efficiently...but its just not the same. i like to write. to see how my printing changes depending on my mood, or the place or any number of factors. my notebooks are a direct relation to how my life is going at the time. full of lists and check-marks if i need to be productive, imagination and colours if i am feeling dreamy. 

i never really plan on buying a notebook...they always seem to come into my life at the right time. i have a few in storage i could dig out but maybe i'm a romantic but i just want to meet the perfect one and fall in love with it. 

the following are some that caught me eye on etsy.... i'm really loving this first doily journal made with recycled record covers.
