    All my notebooks turn into ‘common place’ books. They’re all full of oddities and jottings. 😃

      I use my journals that way also; everything from favorite scriptures, quotes, tips on how to create for junk journals, and food tips.

    I'm currently on commonplace book sticking in paper ephemera, text and packaging too nice to be thrown away. I didn't know what they were until I did some research on the subject. Most of past journals are like scrapbook or Smashbook. I use TN style inserts for regular art junk journaling.

    I have a commonplace book for my job as an accountant. I love it and use it constantly. Mainly I use it when I need to do something and the software is just weird. Sounds strange but accounting software often acts like everything runs perfectly and no changes will ever be needed. Anyway a commonplace book gives me a place to record how to make a change for all of the weird transactions you may run into.

    That John Green quote really spoke to me too! It made me smile as soon as I saw you start to write it out. Your commonplace book is beautiful so far. I really like the way you use those dot markers - I have some and I haven’t really known how I wanted to use them yet. You inspired me to pull them back out and try again!

    I like this idea, i have a Conquest Journals travel journal cover and inserts that would work well as a commonplace book. I tend to have commonplace infomration (quotes, ideas, information) in every notebook and planner I own, but a central spot in a more formal commonplace book concept like those of the Rennaiisance period would be a great idea. Thanks for sharing this
