One of the presents that Ana brought me from the San Francisco Pen Show was one of the new Esterbrook “Write Your Story” Journals ($39.99 at Esterbrook).

Notebook Review: Colorverse Nebula Casual Notebook
I love when Ana travels the country going to pen shows because she usually brings home some fun items for me to review.
