A wierd hobby - Collecting Notebooks
I don't know if it has to do with my OCD, but i love collecting notebooks with different covers. From boring one colored ones, to the ones with artistic covers, i love all of them. I have a pretty large collection, and I don't even use them, but keep buying them.:D
For me, this is Wonderland:
If anyone has the same hobby I think it would be a miracle.:)
It's not a hobby for me but I do love notebooks. My mum and I have these weird love for stationary and seeing notebooks brings me a little bit of excitement. I just want to buy them all because of their covers but also because it's crisp and new paper - a book of many potential possibilities! They look cute on bookshelves in the office. I just wish I had a lot to write about. Maybe I'll write my poems in one... a new one.
I found a stationary website once full of loads of different types of notebooks. I nearly died.
@SilentSerenityy Wow. Could you share the website with me?(if it's allowed) It would help very much:) except if i die, of course.:P
@WhiteBearClub
This one. Don't die.
@SilentSerenityy It was close, but i made it, i am still alive. This website is great. Thank you so much. :)
@WhiteBearClub
I'm trying to find things to do with a notebook. I want to fill one one day. I want to make it all artsy, creative and colourful, not just writing and writing. A mix of a journal, a poem book, goals and thoughts and inspiration.
@SilentSerenityy Wow, that is so cool. I did something similar, i made an imitation from a cartoon(Gravity falls) and it turned out pretty well. I totally forgot about that. Thanks for sharing the website with me, this is wonderful, I am going to try to make one with art, too. Thanks for giving me the idea. I hope it'll turn out well. If i find some ideas, I'll post it here.:)
@SilentSerenityy
I'm just casually dying on the side from all this beautifulness.
@JessCares
Oh please survive!
@SilentSerenityy
Lol I think I just found a new obsession.
@JessCares
I might get a "library" of cute notebooks. :P
@SilentSerenityy It is also a love , I share with my mum and often we buy notebooks for presents for each other lol. Thank you so much for the website, true notebook heaven

I bought my mum a personalised one for Christmas, from notonthehighstreet.com. :D
I love notebooks too!
@writecolorread Cool! :)
Here are some ideas how to decorate a notebook:https://aboutfamilycrafts.com/18-ways-to-decorate-your-notebooks// Hope it's helpful:)
Today, I discovered the world of zentagle notebooks, and made one myself, it took me less than an hour to draw this picture on a notebook cover, and it was really relaxing and turned out pretty well:
It is a cool hobby :) I love fountain pens :) that is little notebook related. I like notebooks too though, but not as much as fountain pens and ink :).
@SaturdaysChild Fountain pens and ink are cool, too. I like that it give a sense of old fashioned.:)
@WhiteBearClub oh gosh I too love notebooks --- I do not intentionly collect them, but do so kinda by accident ha. My new obsession is creating journals, not that i have started one yet I just collecting the materials to do so ha.......... so now have lots of notebooks to do this in lol.
Oh my gosh I love the idea of zentangle on front of one - zentangle is like my favourite thing, so far not partaken in it as much as I would like. Maybe I should use this as my push and finally zentangle on front one my journal notebooks and get started ha.Zentangle is amazing process though, and I find it so relaxing and good meditation exercise. <3
I love your example -- you are very talented would love to see some more of your work
@fluffyUnicorns84 I find it relaxing, too. I didn't draw the zentangle picture, it was just an example:P. But thanks:) I hope you'll have success gathering the material and enjoy making everything and being creative. I would like to see what it will look like in the end, so it would be cool if you would share it here with us:) All the best
I haven't related to a post like this in ages - i love notebooks! I don't write in them, but I love to buy them and I plan what I'll do with them, as well the new book smell. I have about 40 lying around my room, on bookshelves etc.
maybe i'm just a hoarder
@TurqTheBear I feel like a hoarder, too, sometimes, but I think it's just an obsession. It's a good one, because I could use that notebooks someday, then the right day comes... :)
it is amazing :D

@WhiteBearClub
