At the beginning of this year, I looked at what was going on in the world around me, as well as my desire to journal a bit, and decided that I was tired of saving the good supplies for “one day” and that there was no time like the present. So I pulled out the…

Journal Accessories: Mark’s Maste Washi, Tombow Fudenosuke, Uni Pin Pens
Review by Tina Koyama For more than a year now, I’ve been keeping what I call my “scribble journal” (you can learn about how it originated on my personal blog).
