I received my first Moleskine from my brother-in-law as a Christmas present last year. I started it on the first of January, and did think (because of the speed I was filling the pages) I would need a new one at the end of February. This was not the case.

With fourteen days to go (excluding today), I still have over ten pages to fill. I probably won’t complete them before the year has finished, but that doesn’t matter. I will probably get a new Moleskine at the beginning of the year, so that one will be waiting for me when I finish this one. I also want to get Wreck This Journal, to keep me busy in the following year.

My Molkeskine has provided me with much creative fun. Not only have I filled it with doodles and photos, but it has also become somewhere I can stick stuff I want to keep that I otherwise wouldn’t know what to do with. You know, things like ticket stubs for days out you don’t want to forget. Cuttings out of magazines that contain awesome stuff etc. It has therefore not just been a sketchbook for me, but also a scrapbook, a journal for my art as well as notes from everyday life.

The following pictures show my Molskine bulking up (though not to the point where it’s impossible to close… yet). A letter to my father. Three pieces of Resident Evil fanart, and a diagram of my husband using his Mii character as representation of what he looks like.
