Update: All 30 notebooks have been given away. Recipients will be emailed re:postage/delivery details.
I have an irrational philia for notebooks. Large stacks loom on my desk; blank and anticipant. Sometimes, I feel I don’t have the reserves to fill them, but still, I keep buying them; out of some strain of optimism and faith that my brain will deliver.
When I’m not buying notebooks for my legacies, I’m making or altering them. It’s a very soothing exercise. There is nothing more zen to me than rounding the corners of every single page.
I have 30 notebooks to give away, all of them hand-made/hand-altered. I’ve up-cycled materials where I could (old postcards, scrap paper), and each of them retains some charming imperfection that sets it apart from the sterile bulk pre-fab.
If you’d like one of the notebooks, comment on this post or drop me an email (saaleha[at]gmail[dot]com) with the number of the notebook you’d like and what you’d use it for.
If you’re not the journaling type, use the notebooks for listing stuff like:
- bucket lists
- things that need to be done before your hair grows another centimetre
- new people you’ve met
- good/bad deeds
- recipes
- shopping
- books you’ve read
- big, crazy ideas
- your favourite things
- post-sehri dreams
- in-queue doodles
- travel notes
- life-hacks
- new words
- things you’re grateful for
- people you love
- song lyrics
- pictures you’d like to take
- lessons you’ve learnt
- things you’d write in other notebooks
