I love the idea of making a list of scary movie to watch all month. You need to watch Wolf Creek. It's based on a true story in Australia. Great ideas for October setup. 🎃🎃

wonderful customer service is an amazing thing in this day and age... so glad it worked out. So are there a whole lot of different nibs? I haven't heard of a journalors nib... and then there are some with numbers.. I am so confused. But I just have lots to learn!!

I love how you and your hubby are so creative together. May I ask what he uses his notebook for? Just to hear a man's use with what seems to be a lady's world.

Nice video. Next notebook cover maybe he could try putting the closing band hole on the spine. This is unsolicited but I love my notebooks that have the closing band connection on the spine. I LOVE the purple and green combo.

ooh I love the A6 covers you guys made!

I love your beautiful mess! It’s a journey and in the end it’s like phoenix rising from the ashes! 🎉💕🖋️

Beautiful

Love the Opus Grumpy Cat pen. 🖋 Out of my budget, however it does look like a great pen for ink sketches, line & wash. 😊I have a tjing for mini pens. I am sad Pilot discontinued their Petit 1. They are on ebay for $20 😢

I love BPC inks. I bought a couple inks and fell in love and may have bought some more...lol I like all the colors you got. I have made Salamander and Antique Sanguine. I think I need to make Sugar kelp. That one is so pretty.

Love these colors. Fall inks are the best. You picked some good ones.

I LOVE the Purple cover your husband made.!!!! 💖💖💖 have fun in ur new journals.!!!

Your husband is talented and made some beautiful covers.❤

I am glad you mentioned that you find the whole ink swatching thing therapeutic - same here. I don’t even post pen content, yet spend an astounding amount of time fiddling with record keeping. 🖊️ 📔 ❤

I have a personal sized ring binder with 3 sections and Tomoe River Paper in 52 and 68 gsm. The first section is my pen collection sorted by brands (4 pens per page, double sided, with the current ink listed under the pen incl. the date I put it in), the second is my pen collections sorted by color of the current ink in the pen (just a list and I cross out the old combo), the third is all my bottled inks sorted by color (8 colors per page, single sided to avoid bleedthrough contamination;). This system is working really well for cataloging everything. In addition to that I have a Hobonichi Weeks where I use the weekly pages to document all my inky happenings, new pens, ink changes, refills… and on the right side I list the pens for the current week (I use just one color per week in my planners and put together a number of pens with matching inks;). In the monthlies I swatch the inks I put in a pen… just to have a colorful page at the end of it. ;) And in the notes section I have another list area for pens by brand where I just list and cross out… so quite messy, but nice to look back on. I love listing my pens, because that helps me re-discover the ones I might have forgotten over the past couple of weeks or months.

I just can't love that tomoe river paper... I try.. but it just feels so thin. Good Luck with your ink swatches. I think your new system looks great. And yes. Please show us what you do on the tomoe river paper.

I love using a water brush with my inks. I sketch something, usually a flower and then soften the lines and move the color with the water brush. It’s sooooo relaxing and fun!!

I use the Wearingeul Swatch Cards with that little plastic organizer and it’s just great!! I was drawn to it for the same reasons you mentioned. It has worked wonderfully!!!

Nice

Your husband did a nice job with your notebooks.

I like the covers your husband made way better than the traveller’s 😮😮

where did you get the little paws on the pen body? I saw on the website and they dont have that feature.

I want to see these in person, but I doubt they will be at the London Pen Show. I have the Tortoise, Cobalt and Evergreen and want my next Estie to coordinate somehow. Maybe I need all three!

Oh gosh.. that is funny... la sigh.. I am sure they will correct it!! I can't wait to see the green!!

Those are some beautiful pen and ink pairings for fall! Fall is my favorite season as well, so inking up pens during fall is always exciting. 😊 LOVE the Einstein Ring in the Estie Botanical Garden - that looks like such a perfect combination.

❤ You are so incredibly artistic ❤

thank you!! Such a fun video. Such pretty colors... I got a new pen this weekend... just because I got some new inks and needed another pen to put them in. a Monte Verde

That sunflower paper pad is gorgeous! What a lovely gem! :) And Blake at Paper Mind is such a lovely person! I also got one of his notebooks! Also got the Yusari notebook haha! That one will be going into my hobonichi covers straight away once I get it. ^_^ Can't wait to use them. That Anubis ink is gorgeous. AND THE LEONARDO!! :) So awesome you went home with the Dionysis! :) Such a beautiful resin on that collaboration. Very happy you got your Broad nib and they do write so phenomenally! Thanks for sharing your experience and haul of the SF Pen show, Toni! :)

Wow, those Leonardos are gorgeous! I prefer the gloss finish myself.

Really nice video and beautiful ink colors. I would like to make a suggestion for future ink swatching... would you mind writing out the ink color name by the swatch? That way if I need to come back to reference a color I would be able to quickly identify it. Thanks again for a great video!

I think it’s caffe bronze. If you like caffe crema, you have to try coffee monster!

You could have used call of cthulu by Metallica. Such a missed opportunity

Ahhh the dim sum kitties are soooo cute ahhhhhh!!!

so sad they don't ship to europe :( great video !

You speedball looks like a B2, but its stamped on the nib Qoh you got the massively huge Interstellar Bronze... I have the 100ml. Its a fave. That and Tesla Coil.

loving the more shiny pen

ya know.. I only have like 4 pens and 2 of them are twsbi's and I thought I disliked my broad nib A LOT!! I didn't like how much ink it laid out and it seemed so thick... but I put a new ink in it and I really like it now. That was surprising!! Thank you for showing us your haul. I am going to need to plan a pen show trip someday!! Have a great year!!

Great haul! Thanks for sharing! Loved the Schon Dsgn pocket six pen! Also, the ink bottles you showed were from Anderillium Inks.

Love the music 😂 🎵🎶🔊

Some pretty pens 🥰. I have Gluon on my wish list.

loved this! Lots of great ideas!

Oooh, pretty pen/ink combos ❤

Love that ink. What a cute name 😊

😂 I love that crinkling sound!

I wish we could get these in the UK.

Why are you covering one page with the green paper, just to show the page that was covered anyway? Seems like a teacher's habit, but the viewers aren't children.😊

OHHH... sounds like a super fun time!! Thank you for sharing!! I would love to go to a pen show!!

❤❤❤

I am a couple years older than you.... 50 looked sooooooo scary... and awful.. but then it comes and you celebrate and then you go on~~ I hope you have a great day and plan a big celebration. I know it is early but Happy Birthday!

Where do you get your ideas for your zendoodles?

46 PENS!! That is a lot!! wow! Very cool. How many inks do you have? Anywho I was wondering if the little fountain pen drawing with the splotch around it in your June 2023 what your pen is inked with journal is a stamp? I love a good stamp! Thank you!!
