A few years ago my niece was visitng just before we were going to Paris and she bought me a Moleskin Paris, it has neighborhood maps, metro maps and all kinds of nifty information in addition to blank pages that I filled with notes. Now I use one everytime I travel, if they don't have the location where I'm going a blank one is perfectly fine. Loved your Ptown notes. Your drawings are quite good too.Ameliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10548038213207928436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4478201407511428968.post-71477815692573399622013-03-24T11:21:30.313-04:002013-03-24T11:21:30.313-04:00Your penmanship is framable

I have a yearly planner that i use daily (hate the iphone - prefer to write notes) and also a small notebook that i carry at all times - the 8x5 ish size. I love that you recorded your notes from your conversation with Ms Bultman. You are so organized! I write a lot of quotes in my book - i have years and years worth of quotes in old journals - lines from movies or clever phrases or life lessons. I just love re-reading them.<br /><br />Your handwriting is beautiful.<br /><br />Hugs, Terri Windlosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17014227226507484798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4478201407511428968.post-53516656075143900332013-03-21T11:29:25.894-04:002013-03-21T11:29:25.894-04:00I love a good Moleskine myself.

I shouldn't say this but we have an appliance store here that has them as a little freebie giveaway and I helped myself to about seven the last time I was there.

That's...They carry the moleskins at Target too! That's where I bought mine, for this very purpose, just a couple of months ago. Great minds think alike, Steve! I recently came across one other must-have too - I had popped into a Lowe's not too long ago and saw they had this bin of tiny tape measures with keychains attached. Fun colors too! Mine is pink of course. They're only 6-foot long tapes, but usually that's all you need when shopping. It's great because I kept losing my other one in the bottom of my purse!Down Raspberry Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14307699809498234482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4478201407511428968.post-49586087674840012022013-03-20T18:16:45.557-04:002013-03-20T18:16:45.557-04:00And do you carry paint samples, too?
