Cristina Gomes Leather Cover

Few months back, I decided to invest in a A6 leather cover.

Why A6, many people asked?

At first, I wasn't a great fan of A6 notebook as I very much preferred something smaller, but not too small. Passport size is too small, and A6 is slightly too big, so I choose Field Notes.

But I realized, A6 size is actually a very comfortable size to write in.

After much consideration on if I should get another leather cover, I decided to get one.

After browsing around, I discovered Cristina Leather on Facebook.

Brain Pocket - Regular Size Traveler's Notebook

My people has been asking me this question:

"What's inside your Regular size Traveler's Notebooks?" 

So, I decided to do a post about my Tan / Cream color Regular size Traveler's Notebook, the Brain Pocket.

Brain Pocket was customized by a lady crafter from Japan.

I had this Traveler's Notebook since 2010 (shortly after I purchased my Midori Regular Size TN). 

I was attracted by the color of the leather, and the opportunity to choose the button I wanted to be on the leather. 

I have been safe keeping it and only decided to use in this year (2014).

My Creme Brûlée 2015 Planner.

Year 2015 is not far away (81 days left as of 13 Oct 2014) and my planner shopping came early this year. 

I was planning to get Midori passport size 2015 planner, both the weekly and monthly, but the price has always been a concern.

Recently, I have gotten a A6 size Fauxdori (Creme Brulee) from Chic Sparrow , and I have plans to make it into my 2015 planner system.

My Collections of Traveler's Notebook.

Not sure if you know, but I started my first Midori Traveler's Notebook back in Year 2008. 

Back then, traveler's notebook like this (leather cover with interchangeable notebooks) was not as popular today. 

As I remembered, there aren't many people using Midori Traveler's Notebook back then.

Searching for inspiration on how to enhance my Traveler's notebook can only be done on Flickr.

In the recent years, I have more exposure to other traveler's notebook through the Facebook / Instagram. From there, I realized that I can get a customized Traveler's notebook in other colors

I can also get a leather cover that holds different types of inserts, particularly, Field Notes size.

My collections for FN size (3.5" x 5.5') fauxdori expanded with the opening of Blank and Write Shop. 

Let's see, what I have in my collections:

Just want to write and coffee

Writing, is a very important habit. 

And to make writing an enjoyable process, it has to be done with a cup of good coffee.

In May 2014, I saw an interesting fauxdori that caught my attention - the KidDori.
KidDori is a project between Vijay (of CraftyDoodles) and Aly Common (of Crafting to Stay Sane)

At the same time, I was also looking for a birthday present for a client. 

So, I decided to dropped Vijay Mistry a message and see if he can rushed me a KidDori.

A parcel that took a long way.

Few months back, I sent out 2 card holder sleeves to United Kingdom, and only a week later, I discovered that the Post Office staff had sent the items by sea freight. 

Yesterday, the parcel arrived safely at Vijay Mistry's hand.

In the picture:

Each card holder sleeve can hold up to 10 cards.
