Not so much an ode but I am definitely in love with the new size of jotter. Because the covers are stiff but flexible they roll and fit into a back pocket easily. The page size is perfect for extended journaling as well as larger sketches and doodles. Now that I have a desk job I can bring the larger size in my bag more easily. I don't have to have my notebook secreted away in a pocket anymore so this size is perfect for me. The number of pages is JUST right for a month or so of journaling. So if your participating in a 365 project these larger Jotters would be prefect for that sort of thing.

Anyway. I'm loving the new size and because of that I'm going to keep making them! IF you haven't tried the large size of Jotter you should. I'll offer 10% off to anyone who buys a large jotter set over the next week (ends May 17th) use discount code CSStwit4  in notes to seller on etsy. YOu can find the large jotters on my etsy shop here.

 
Some examples above.

OK some interesting happenings in the land of books, atleast
interesting for me and hopefully all you who read this!!!

Sara of GirlsCanTell blog and etsy shop and I are
collaborating on a project. I’m mailing her a stack of unfinished covers and
some finished jotters and she’s going to print some of her completely awesome
screen prints on the jotters and covers. She’ll mail the covers back to me and
I’ll stitch them up into books. I’ll sell the books on my site and she’ll sell
the finished printed jotters on her site. I’m really really excited about this
collaboration because I really LOVE her work. I’m a big fan of diagrams and sunscreens
so to have someone who does a combination of those 2 things working who likes
my work is an awesome feeling. So it will be really cool to get the finished
artwork and photograph the process! ROCK ON!

WEll, i'm a day late for earth day but I hope everyone out there had a great Earth Day we had a warm sunny day until about 2pm here in the Boston area and it was great for the activities we had at work. I had alot of fun and worked very hard. It was great. But that is my DayJob and sadly I was unable to do anything with my books for the day.

However my books are great for EarthDay! Celebrate a belated earth day by sending a friend a set of my recycled journals!
