More 1984 Paper with pink covers
Originally uploaded by lessherger

I love this paper!sunny yellows and spring like pinks with green and white paper inside. They cry out for spring and garden plannings!!!!

I'm having a fast paced weekend here at
the Comfortable Shoes homestead. I had an old friend and artist come
over for dinner last night, we spent the evening eating good food,
catching up and chatting about an art project she has in mind. It's
always good to talk to other people of an artistic persuasion and get
a different perspective, I find it inspiring.

We're due to get more snow and I'm
pretty much ready for spring. I've been planning my garden for weeks
now and this latest addition of snow is unwelcome. I want to put my
rain barrels out and dig the rest of my garden.

I've loaded up some fresh new jotters
to etsy and you can find them here. I've got a variety of interior
papers-, put white, gray, 24lb 25% cotton, and some nice 1984 dot
matrix paper.. The covers are a variety of colors and images.
Something for everyone.

GoodKarma on etsy, makes a wallet and a case specifically to fit my jotter notebooks and cahiers. The case is very well made and holds all my cards and what little cash I have on hand. In the back the pocket that holds the notebooks is snug and a perfect fit. There is a spot to hold a pen and a zippered pocket in the front. I’m excited about these. ANyone who buys a case or wallet from goodkarma will get a special discount code to use on refill note books! sa-weet!

This is so cool.

Okay so I've had a few whirlwind weeks.
Mostly good. Some exciting new:

I finally bought a paper shear. Yes the
tool I have wanted for years, about 5, and eluded me on price until
now is in my possession. I can't believe I held out on it for so
long. It amazes me how much faster I can make books when I'm using
this fantastic piece of equipment. Some technical notes:

I bought a 12inch shear, meaning its
largest cut is 12 inches. I'm regretting not going for the 17inch
model, but 12 inches is very good. I can cut entire reams of regular
paper with it! It cuts through 250 sheets like it's nothing. Amazing!
I'm able to trim my hedgehogs, jotters and matchbook notebooks with
ease and multiples at a time. I'm so happy.

Second exciting news, related tot eh
shear. Years ago I bought a box of 80's computer paper at a salvage
store, the old green and white variety. I'm able to chop it and use
it now. How exciting is that? 1984 called and it wants it's radical
paper back.

The best news for last. I'm working
with GoodKarma another etsy seller who makes fine handmade things.
She is making super sweet cases for my jotter notebooks, they fit
perfectly some in great color combinations and are very well made.
I've been using mine for a few weeks now and everyone who see's it asks
me where I
got it and comments on how great it is. I'll get some pictures of it
in action and post them up. But I'm super excited about the
collaboration. You can find her great work here and all my jotter
notebooks fit her covers! Awesome.

I've listed a whole load of jotters up on etsy this past week and over the course of the next few weeks i"ll be changing the prices to reflect my new pricing structure. I have a vast color selection of covers available, dont' see something you like? Send me an email and I'll let you know if I have something that might strike your fancy.

Oh man. I love this paper. It’s so so cool. It’s 1980’s vintage IBM dot matrix computer paper. It came in a giant 2500 sheet box, all connected.Oh so pure vintage, just like when I was in grade school!

I have some notebooks on my etsy site with this paper in them. So totally rad!
