Show & Tell : moleskine

  

 
 

 I have a problem. Maybe even an addiction. And I'm pretty sure this is a safe place to admit it. To come clean. Because something tells me there are other addicts among us. 

I am addicted to journals and planners. All things organizational. All that blank space for ideas and lists. 

It used to be that almost any journal could suck me in --lined, unlined, spiral, hardbound, wide ruled, college ruled...

  

 

But with time and experience and as I've honed my addiction, I've come to realize that there is one company that just gets it right. That has managed to think of all the things I want in a journal/planner -- from a tiny pocket in the back, to the "feel" of the page, to the amount of writing space. 

That company would be Moleskine. They have really managed to capture the perfect balance between planner space and journal space, and they do both very well. 

 

 

So I am really excited this morning to be able to offer a bundle of moleskine goodies to TWO lucky mommycoddle readers.  

 

 

Each bundle will include a Color-A-Month calendar and a pocket sized address book, as well as a few other tidbits, that I know you'll use and enjoy. 

Be sure to check out all that Moleskine has to offer as well as their new colors--blues, pinks? I love it.

In order to enter, simply leave a comment on this post and I'll announce the two random winners on Thursday. Good luck!

*Please note: I will be shipping out the winner's prizes myself, so I am asking each winner to pay for shipping (via paypal). Please be sure you are willing to do this, before you enter. Some of the products have been removed from their clear plastic packaging for "inspection" for my review, but are in perfect condition, otherwise.

Ooh. I would love to win these. I was looking at them earlier this year, but just can't fit them in the budget.

I feel your addiction girl. I can spend an hour in the paper section trying to find the right thing. Too many times I buy something close, but not quite right. I have four or five brand new notebooks/journals in the garage sale pile right now. Perfect for someone who isn't quite so OCD about them! Its hard to get my inspiration out if I'm not happy with my journal.

Is it too late to comment? I could *SO* use these. Fingers crossed. :-)

I love Moleskin journals. I ordered the panoramic weekly calendar for myself this year, certainly a bit of a splurge but I use it every day. It's those elastics around the cover that get me every time.
I will pay the shipping!

I hope I'm not too late...I'm passionate about paper, planners, and anything organizational too! Thanks for the contest! I really enjoy following your blog.

** Not entering just late commenting** GOod luck with the snow and storms headed your way, and with Mary (our t&p are with you), and the new little one (I measured early and baby was all different ways she ended up coming 2 days before her due date.)
I fell in love with the Moleskin journals when I started writing to my oldest when he was 6 months old. I bought my first one at Target and then when I got pregnant again Target unfortunately did not carry the stle I liked. So , I went online and ordered enought (hopefully) for all of my children/expected children. There is something magical and exciting about writing to my kids. The hope and love and anticipation of them reading the thoughts and stories when they are older, it inspires me and fills me with love.

Oh, I hope you haven't picked a winner...I love all things Moleskin. I have to admit, I tried some cheaper ones, but I found myself coming back to Moleskin. So thin and sleek! Love them!

Don't you just love Moleskine..... I always have some sketchbooks of theirs laying around!

[Phil Steller]

I like what Pentalic Traveler's Sketch Books offer. They are not lined or have fancy scheduling stuff on them. Just plain and simple elegance. They come in a variety of bold colors - red, royal blue, black, orange, sky blue, pink, and light green. Very trendy. Perfectly sized to fit in my pocket or through in small places. They have a nice vinyl waterproof cover and an elastic enclosure.

I use them for my journaling primarily. They don't have lines, but I like the freedom of not having them. They force me to practice my own ability to keep a straight line of text. Plus, if I want to draw something, I have that freedom, without interruption of ugly lines (hard to remove when scanning in drawings, for example).

The best thing about the Pentalic books is that they are so cheap. Great for the starving artist!
