I LOVE STICKERS SO MUCH!

Also my banana matches my charm!!

- MD Notebook B6 Slim [grid]

I don’t typically go for ball point pens but these are so smooth and I’ve been using one for months and haven’t run out of ink yet. They’re supposed to last 7 years before you refill. I got them online from Seltzer Goods.

Combines my two loves of gachapon and stationery! Great way to keep track of your collection, and even has sleeves to help organize the little artwork inserts the toys come with.

As many notebook companies are releasing their fall and halloween collections, it's triggered more discourse around AI use. I've seen a lot of heat about Archer and Olive AI art on their notebook covers, but I've seen them repeatedly refute these accusations on their IG. But I want to talk about what I don't see - namely any of these accusations against Notebook Therapy? Their latest designs seem to mimic Archer and Olive and Quirky Cup collective's notebooks yet there is no discourse surrounding this. They must be deleting comments on their posts because in many cases, the copying is obvious. Also, the designs don't seem very finessed either which makes me wonder if there is some AI being used behind the scenes.

I'll stay with Kinbor for 2027.It's great that the sheep one can be stuck in the Gillio cover. Everything looks perfect.

I would like to start drawing and sketching a bit more and using pencil would be a bit easier for me than starting with pen. Problem is, I love the smooth feeling of a pen and hate the scratchyness of a pencil makes it feel like my whole arm is vibrating to the bone.

What is the smoothest feeling mechanical pencil or type of lead you would recommend? For minimum scratchyness. Thanks

Current favorite pen and pen feel is pilot juice .7 or pentel energel 1.0 or .7

A pretty old-school notebook. Tsubame is founded 80 yrs ago, a pretty low-key company I'd say. low-key colorways, designs and prints yet great quality.

Pretty limited (and straightforward) paper lineups:

• Fools White (this review) / Cream pH neutral Paper
• High Quality Paper (for entry level products)
• Washi Printer Paper

I tested this the same way as my previous review on Tomoe River.

❌ Cons:

• Not very opaque despite a higher weight. (92%@81.4gsm) (Better than MD's 91%@80gsm. Tho I've seen 95%+ ones.)
• Inks are not as vibrant as they should be (desaturated).
• Not great for color pencil layering.

⚠️ Characteristics:

• The bind is 12+18+18+12 sheets, which doesn't lay as flat as typical 8/per.
• 7mm ruled for under A5, 8mm ruled for B5 and bigger
• Normal sheen

✅ Pros:

• Great feathering and bleedthrough resistance. Slightly worse than MD under extreme conditions.
• Great hand oil resistance.
• Adequate writing frictions. I can comfortably use a 0.28mm all the way up to a 1.0mm ball pen. (UEF~B)
• Fast drying.
• Very sturdy paper and acid free.
• Less pigment transfers and pretty easy to erase:

Slightly better value than MD notebooks (which don't offer B5 size nor 8mm ruled). Plus I don't need to worry any pen of mine would write bad on this.

I purchased this at a discounted price ($4). All opinions are my own.

Thanks for reading.

Hello! I’m running some journal workshops soon and wanted to get some pens made w quirky sayings. Best I can find is .88 per pen w 200 min and only one saying. Any ideas? I don’t really want to buy 200 and have 3 sayings I’d like. I’m in CT if that matters at all. Thank you!!!

TL;DR I'd like recommendations for cute planners with a similar layout as the one pictured

I got this 2 years ago from a Korean import store and am getting close to finishing it(which is extremely rare for me), and I want the next planner I get to be similar to it. Sadly, I can't just buy another one(nor the kuromi or pochacco ones in the same series) bc everywhere that had them is now out of stock and I don't see any resellers with them.

It's spiral-bound, measures 14.5cm x 21cm and I like that each day is a two-page spread that basically gives me one side to list what I need to do(with built-in checkmark spaces) and my schedule, and the other side can be used for doodles. I also like that it's not already dated, but still has a dedicated space for writing the date. The page details being fairly light/pastel is also preferable to me. The sanrio branding is not a necessity lol. It's also ok for it to be a bit smaller.

Overall I just really like the way this planner is structured and how cute it is, but I'm having no luck searching for a similar one myself now that this particular one is off the market. Any recs or pointers for how to more effectively search for this kind of layout would be greatly appreciated! <3

Who else here loves using coloured paper for their notebooks?

Greetings! I'm curious if it's just me or if anyone else does this too.

Who else keeps their old pens to modify, refill, and build new ones out of the used-up parts?

Also, I love using plenty of cheap, hard paper folders to organize shorter topics—who's with me?

If the topic is longer, I use a notebook.

Also, how many pens and pencils do you guys have, what do you use them for, and what about your non-essential helpers like staples and colored pens, or paper clips?

Finally, here are some pictures of my stationery. I use a lot of them!

UPDATE: Thanks for everyone's input here! Learned so much from y'all's comments. And the bonus was learning about the pen, too.

I'm a newb here when it comes to this subreddit and didn't know where to best ask (whether here or r/Journaling) but I figured somebody would be able to recognize this. Apologies for the cross / double posting.

Actually figured somebody would have already posted this here or there by now so I could glean the answer. Was surprised no one had and so here I am asking the experts.

So interesting that people of all walks of life journal with pen and paper still, regardless of fame or talent. Plus a reminder we all need to scribble out a word here or there. That he left that in there for an announcement that billions will hear about is so interesting to me.

Makes me wonder too when Messi decided to write in relatively-uncommon all caps, how he picked up journaling, why this journal in particular, and so many other questions.

Please help fixing the below problems faced by my 11 year old:

1. She applies too much pressure while writing and it results in quickly tired wrist which affects her handwriting quality and speed. Tips to improve this please 🙏🏼

2. Recommend affordable and easily available gel pens whose refills are also easily available. Other types of pens can also be recommended, it's just that her school only allows gel pens.

3. Please give tips on how to improve her handwriting. It's not clean enough.

Note: That's our girl Bela in the picture. She empathizes with her little human.

Hi everyone! First time posting here ☺️

Do you guys know this korean brand?

I bought this pencil case in a famous Sao Paulo's store which usually imports stationery from Asia, but I haven't found anything from this brand since then. It was like a one chance purchase - I mean, I didn't find it on Google.

I'm very curious about the other products this brand sells - or used to sell 🥲

Don’t know why it’s a secret on the website
Does anyone know what time tix go on sale on 9/1? I have emailed with no reply and one day before tix go on sale it is not stated on their website. I’m traveling so it would be really nice to know. TYSM

Does anyone know any red rubber stamp companies based in Germany, Austria, Belgium or the rest of EU? I’m looking to expand my collection and see what other parts of the world are making that likely don’t come to USA.
I request these specific countries because I visit regularly but truly am open to anyone within EU ( for easier shipping).
Happy stamping!!

Today I found this cute pouch at a thrift store!! I saw it and immediately knew who was perfect for my fountain pens and to travel with stationary stuff!!! I have the soolla pouch but figured this was nice and compact. And, it was only $2.99!! I feel like that was a steal. I’m not sure what it was originally made for, maybe make up? But I don’t care because it’s perfect!!
