i briefly mentioned yesterday that at the turn of the year i was not ready to fully embrace the twenty-ten with open arms and that an explanation was to come…
in short, i think the stress of not having a new years resolution and no goals for the next 365 days of my life was too a bit too much for me and i could not be excited. i thought about it… talked about it… worried about it… complained about it (thanks for always listening, camille!)… asked around… and finally! i decided instead of a resolution for one year i am going to do a bucket list!
the plan is to fine the perfect journal, notebook, sketchbook (no pressure for someone that loves paper, huh?) and start tracking my ‘things to do before i kick the bucket’. one page per day, scrapbook style. magazine cut outs, receipts, colors, boarding passes, &ca.
now the hardest part… the perfect journal. here are a few i have scoped out but i am not sure if it is love yet.
a letterpress covered sketchbook with a variety of papers inside from ilfant.
a beautifully classic leather journal from kate’s paperie.
perhaps something even more simple & minimalistic like moleskine or an oversized leuchtturm 1917.
(i think the trend is that i am gravitating toward simple.)
this plain paged notebook with an extra folder in the front could be the perfect storage for all my life’s bucket list keepsakes.
a hand stitched notebook from papermodeHome that reminds me of my childhood, a la the spirograph. bonus: it would come to me all the way from paris!
there are so many to choose from and the possibilities almost feel endless! if you stumble upon a notebook in your journeys that calls ‘bucket list’ to you, either in the store or on the internet, please pass this information along.
thank you!
