Aw, I definitely can't say my handwriting is always nice! You could totally do something like writing on a computer and then printing out the text to decorate in a book if you wanted!

After 8 years using Hobonichi Techo journals, I actually got to attend an official meetup event! 📓 Does anyone here remember my old flip throughs? 😬

Check out what the event was like in my recap: chic-pixel.com/2025/10/hobo...

I love the Bell Beast from Silksong so much that I made a vinyl sticker for myself. I have a small number of extras, and I put them on Etsy for basically the price of shipping if you'd like one. 🌿 www.etsy.com/listing/4384...

Can’t decide what to buy on Prime Day?

Try: absolutely nothing, and then go support indie bookstores instead 📚
