Last April, I showcased my latest journal, The Tesla Journal. Usually, it takes me a year or more to fill up a journal. Well, I have been racing through that one and filled it up and started another this month. So of course I’m going to show off what version I got this time 😀 Paperblanks Embellished Manuscripts have become my favorite journal and they come out with new ones every year. It is worth the money.
So without further ado, here are pictures of the journal, which is titled “Cervantes: Letter to the King”.
Just to put things in perspective, it took me 11months to fill up my 15th journal. Then 7months to fill up the Tesla one (the 16th). We’ll see how long it takes me to go through this one. I’m already salivating about getting whatever the 18th journal will be. Does that mean I have a problem? Hahahahahaa! Well, whatever the case may be, you can be sure that I’ll keep on posting whenever I get a new journal. yum yum yum!

Yes, I know.
I don’t speak spanish except for what I pick up from movies and I couldn’t write it to save my life.

Did Cervantes adopt the term ‘dnf’ ?

Considering how long Don Quixote is, I doubt he was familiar with the term 😉

Oh, wow, I love that journal. Maybe you will be inspired to write truly crazy stories inside. ¡Por el amor de Cervantes, escribelos ya!

No, my journaling is of the mundane “Sunday this happened, Monday I did this” kind. I’m not a story teller of any sort.
It’s very personalized to me and even historians are going to get tired reading it, hahahahahaa 😀
But those paperblanks embellished manuscript journals sure do look good!

You should get a quill pen and a bottle of ink to write in this particular journal: they seem very appropriate to its style 🙂

I thought about. I really did 😀
I went through a phase several years ago when I tried a wide variety of pens to see what would work. There was one that was supposed to mimic a quill pin (you had to press the tip down on a special mat to get the ink to flow again after a certain amount of words had been written) and man, it was a pain! I spent more time pressing than writing, hahahahaaa.
Plus, this paper is pretty thick and absorbs ink well, so I need something that flows well and the g2 roller does that perfectly.

They do look a bit spesh! I love blank journals and have a few, but I start off and then just fizzle out. My last one started on January 29th had a couple of pages in Feb and March, then a couple of pages in AUgust and that was that! I put stickers and washi tape in them and everything!!

Thanks! It gives me the warm fuzzies to just look at it 😀
Which is ironic that I’m the kind of guy who gets a laugh out of ultra-dark humor.
You sound like Mrs B. She’s always buying stickers and putting them on stuff. Our car has a bunch of Skip Beat stickers 😀
I had to look up washi tape but it sounds rather fab. I always think about doing something “fancy” in my journal but then the words take over and I just write and write, lots and lots of blabber 😀

Very nice, and I like that they come out with one every year – if I kept journals, that would probably motivate me to fill one up each year just so I can collect them 😀

I used to buy them haphazardly at Amazon until the prices started getting crazy. So I decided it just made sense to go directly to the source.
