Scrapbook: Day 1

I bought a book for my project!! I searched this town high and low and spent the good portion of an hour picking through every notebook, duotang, sketchbook, journal, and scrapbook i could see at the dollar store (which is typically very good at carrying at least one of whatever you need). By the end though, my time there proved useless. But on my walk home I suddenly remembered that tucked away in the corner of an underground plaza there's a Basics. Imagine my relief! I descended the stairs and immediately envisioned myself finding the scrapbook of my dreams. Which I did. After another hour of comparing and judging over 100 different styles, sizes, and price points, I decided to go with the $7.99 back, hardcover, 152 8.5 x 11 lined paged coil notebook, complete with plastic slip in the back for loose items. No, the lines don't bother me. And no, neither do the coils. I would usually prefer if a notebook had neither features, but the lines are muted and the structure of the coils, and book itself, appear sound. Plus it was on sale! Its not a cornucopia of colours and patterns, it doesnt come with a fancy red ribbon or motivational proverbs in the page corners, its not soft or flexible or aromatheraputic (this really does exist) but I really don't mind because I have a feeling its going to serve its purpose perfectly. Now if you'll excuse me, I have a 2 Basics flyers to take a peek at!!
