The straps that allow me to tighten the side pockets broke so I fixed them. The first one broke a few years ago, but I didn't feel a need to fix it when I had another one. The second one broke today, so once I got home and got all my homework done, I stitched the straps back on. That should hopefully keep the bag in use for a few more years.
I just hit 3 months without using AI! I'm so proud of myself!
I went through most of my supplies and counted them, here are the stats:
21 journals
9 pocket notebooks
7 A4 hardback copies
11 A4 notebooks
11 A4 copybooks
7 A4 spiral notebooks
1 A4 notepad
31 pencils
42 pens
15 highlighters
23 twistables
63 markers
61 gel pens
85 colouring pencils
7 colouring books.
I certainly have my work cut out for me using up this pile. And this is only what I was able to catalogue in an hour, this doesn't include my school supplies or paints. Wish me luck.
I don't know why the images aren't in the right orientation but oh well.
It occurred to me I never posted that I finished my rose gold pen when I finished it. The pink pen (second from the left) didn't work, it had never been used, still had the ball on the nib when I found it, but when I went to use it today to replace my green pen it wouldn't work. And I have another notebook going out, this one is going to a friend for his biology notes.
Slow progress this week, but I still managed to get some journalling in and I'll be donating a notebook (slide 2) to one of my youth groups for planning this week so that's one less notebook which is good because I'm going to get a load on Friday when I start school again.
I've been slower with my progress as of late, but I've finished 2 pens, and filled two A4 sheets, I've also made progress in my journal, I'm on page 68 of 161, so less than 100 pages left before I can switch it out.
I will also be donating a notebook to one of my youth clubs tomorrow as a dedicated place for our planning so, that's something else.
This week, I finished one pink pen, (there's still ink left in it, but it's stopped writing) and I've been journalling. I started this journal on July 11th, and am currently on page 63 of 161 in it.
This pair of jeans were too long for me and I finally got around to shortening them today. I know it's a small detail and probably won't be noticed, but I like the DIY look, and now I won't be walking around with safety pins in my jeans anymore
I used up 2 stickers, one highlighter, a roll of washi tape and 16 sticky notes this week, progress!
Sticker bombed a journal I'm not very excited to use with some stickers I don't really care about, I'm more excited to use the journal now and I used five sticker sheets in the process
I've finished 2 pens and have written about 20 pages of one of my stories. Progress!
I'm not proud of how much paper I've collected, but I got the A4 hardbacks from school (free book scheme) and a lot of my spiral A4 notebooks from my dad, I have no excuse for the journals. Let's hope this subreddit helps motivate me to get through all this paper
I posted this on the wrong account last night, but this week's empties, the fine liner (left most pen) does still have ink in it but the nib has been worn down, I almost threw out my other fine liners from the set but decided to keep them until their nibs have worn down to the point that it becomes unpleasant to use.
