Operation Notebook

Stacey Shubitz

So here I am, on a mission, to find the perfect notebook to use as my MASTER NOTEBOOK (sounds kind of funny calling it that) for my conferences. I think I found it at Borders this morning. It’s from Paperchase and looks like this:

Here’s what I like about it:

  • It’s contains lined and blank pages (great for sketching and writing).
  • It has pockets for photos. (Thanks for making me think about what to do with my artifacts Ruth!)
  • It has dividers that I can attach tabs to.
  • It has a small folder in the back, as well as a few small folders throughout.
  • The notebook has a band to keep everything together so that it doesn’t fall out

    • The only thing that would’ve made it more perfect (and it’s pretty close since it has a spiral spine too) would have been holes so that I could have implanted it in my conferring folder.

    I’ll post in the next couple of days to detail how it’s going.
