2013 Diary Decision!

I have decided on a diary for 2013.
I've decided to walk away from Moleskine and try something different.

I did a post about diaries in November.
But I have decided against all of them, for one reason, Price.
I'm saving up for PAX in July, so I'm trying not to spend excessively.

I found the 2013 A5 Buffalo Diary from Typo. $14.95!

It's day to a page and has a really nice layout. I have ordered it online and I'm hoping that is shows up before 2013. My friend Emma has the exactly the same one (which I didn't know when I ordered it) and she says the paper is really nice, with minimal bleed, but I will do some tests when I get it.

I always get really excited about new diaries. My 2012 dairy is getting a little overloaded and beaten up. I'm thinking that I may take some photos and post some pics here and on Organizers on LiveJournal

As soon as it's arrived, I will do a post about it.
I've been stocking up on awesome stickers and fun things to decorate my diary.

Stay tuned. =)

I Want a Vs. Journal by Knock Knock

You all know that I'm a little bit of a stationery addict.... OKAY, fine A LOT of a stationery addict.... If I could marry stationery, I would!

My biggest love is NOTEBOOKS!
Notebooks, Journals, Planners, Diaries... whatever you want to call them! I have HUNDREDS! and I always need more.

AND THEN I CAME ACROSS THIS!!!

I've been following Notebook Stories for ages... I was even featured as one of their Notebook addicts way back when, and today they posted about this....

... The Vs. Journal by Knock Knock. It's a hard covered, 256 page journal of prompts. "230 illustrated face-offs of psychological import, insightful interpretations, and plenty of writing room for contemplation to provide self-awareness that you could never achieve on your own." In other words...
write about which of the 2 you prefer... see below!

I love journal prompts and super love whole journals dedicated to prompts... and Vs. are some of the best. Plus the journal looks amazing, there are some awesome action shots on Notebook Stories.

I'm adding this to my Christmas Wishlist.... and if I don't get one... I may just have to buy one myself :D

DIARY SEASON!

It's Diary season!

I can't wait! There is nothing as good as opening a brand new diary and making the first mark... rather selfishly of myself, the very first thing I write in is "My Birthday!" :D

One of the best things about new diaries, is deciding what to buy!

Believe it or not, I think I'm over Moleskine. I've been using Moleksine Diaries for many years, but I want something more unique, more awesome :D

I have found a couple that I really like and I'm going to share them with you.

DELFONICS 2013 DIARY - A5 (15X21CM) - WEEKLY VERTICAL - POUCH - KHAKI

This, is by far, my favourite! But with a price tag of $79.95... I don't know if I can justify it! It is refillable, but I'm not known for sticking to one thing. Plus the refill that comes with it is a Vertical weekly, and there isn't enough space for my huge handwriting and random scribbles! BUT JUST LOOK AT IT!!! 

The next choice is a little bit more conservative, but has the same issue of having the Vertical Weekly layout.

DELFONICS 2013 DIARY - A5 (15X21CM) - WEEKLY VERTICAL - ELASTIC - GREEN

It's a little cheaper... $59.95, but doesn't have the awesome pockets for keeping awesome things in :D But it is a pretty colour, and it looks like it feels really nice :D 

Or I can just stick to what I know and geek out by just getting this:

MOLESKINE 2013 DIARY - WEEKLY NOTEBOOK - LIMITED EDITION 'STAR WARS' - LARGE (13X21CM) - BLACK - HARD COVER

You really can't go wrong with Yoda! :D I'm using the weekly notebook format now. Some weeks I find there isn't enough space, other weeks I have nothing to write. YODA!

NOTEMAKER is seriously the best ever Stationery shop EVER! I just wish I had heaps of money!

So what do you think? I need a little bit of help with this one!!!


EDIT: I just found this one!!

DELFONICS 2013 DIARY - A6 (10X15CM) - WEEKLY NOTEBOOK - LINEN - TURQUOISE

It's smaller (only A6) but it's a Weekly Notebook layout, plus it's only $29.95 and it's a pretty colour! Don't ask me whats written on the front. It's a Japanese made diary with German written all over it! I think this one might be the best bet. NO MATTER HOW MUCH I LOVE THE FIRST ONE!

I can get a Weekly Notebook refill for the first one for $29.95, but that would take the full price of the Diary to over $100 and that is WAY too much!
