Simple Pleasures - Pen and Paper


No joke. Pen and paper make me happy! A blank page, a pen, a pencil, a crayon, oh the possibilities! No, I am not an artist, I don't write poetry or deep and meaningful passages. Mostly I journal, write notes on random pieces of paper that I can never find again, and make lists. I list what I need to do, I list what I would like to do, I list what I dream about doing. I feel better when I get things out on paper, like I somehow made space in my brains.

I love paper too...I make all sorts of lists and don't necessarily check them off. I have tried to use planners to stay organized, but it never works. Give me a legal pad and I am a happy girl.
Your kiddos are seriously adorable. :)

I am a serious list maker too! On any piece of paper I can find, though my favorite is a small notebook that fits in my pocket so I can look at past lists and see what I have/haven't done.

oooo...lists! A girl after my own heart! :)

If I didn't have a list I would not be complete. After 13 years my dh is finally starting to understand!

Ah...pen, paper, crayons...doodling supplies!
Simple pleasure indeed. :)

My favorite paper of all is lined, school ruled, three holes to fit in my three ring binder that holds all my important lists and thoughts! Pencils are my favorite to write with.
