I am always amazed at the way the stationery community has a tendency to come to the same sorts of projects or ideas at the same time. I have been thinking about pulling together a post or video or something about my Stationery Favorites and lo and behold, Inky Imaginings and JetPens both put together posts about their stationer faves.
