We approach to the inevitable and depressing end of this swap, there are only 2 more days - yes, two ... There is an extra packet that I decided to save for the last day :D- These past 6 days have been incredible and truly enjoyable... But enough sentimentality, lest get into business - I always wanted to say that- ...
Today's package, as I mentioned yesterday, was about the same size as the zombie keys, but a little heavier
.... Beforehand, the card of the day said that it was stationary, but, of what kind?
It was a journal, a pen and a mechanical pencil (plus a packet of graphite thingies) ... Given that I have not posted as much as I'd like, its most likely that I've never mentioned how much I love mechanical pencils ... I used to have about 20, but one by one they stopped working... Now I only have around 3 or 4, that no longer work, but have sentimental value ...
At first glance the journal looks like a regular notebook , but the cover has the most delicious texture, as if imitating wrinkled leather...

| Here, have a close up :D |
Getting things like this on this god forsaken land can be somewhat difficult - just kidding! I love my country- ... Such a lovely notebook seriously deserves a proper use ...
In the note included in today's package, gings said she wasn't quite sure about how I would use the notebook, either for doodling or to write patterns. After thinking for a while and knowing me, I'll most likely going to use it for both ... Whenever I try to think, I end up doing disturbing doodles right from the mind of a crack addict... I have some pseudo patterns I've written over time, it'd be nice transcribe them to this new journal ...
Also, I think will be a great place to keep the progress of my projects, possible mods, and sources of inspiration for when I finally decide pull a proper pattern out of my ass (oops) ...
With a blank notebook, the possibilities are endless ... And I love that
Tomorrow the last numbered package - which is strangely flat, and the day after tomorrow a little extra + afterthoughts ...
Everybody loves a new journal - it's like untrodden snow or sand, waiting for your impressions :-)
ResponderEliminarI agree, I love getting new notebooks just for the sake of the "first doodle" :p
EliminarScore on the notebook and mechanical pencil!
ResponderEliminarAnd what will we do with no more South American missives each day? :)
