The Stack

So...

One thing to know about me: I'm a list maker. I also love stationary. However, my love of stationary far outweighs my list-making ability, and so I end up with stacks, literally stacks (!) of note books.

Exhibit A

(Excuse the crappy iPhone pictures)

These are just the ones sitting on my desk that I am attempting to use. 12 of them. 

Is that a bit excessive? No?

I have to admit, I adore moleskines. Every time I see one I haven't seen before, or I see a small version in a new colour, I have to have it. It's a problem, I'm aware. I currently have a red mini moleskine diary, a purple lined moleskine for lyrics (I'm a song-writer), a red plane moleskine for notes, a black music one, and two random other ones. WHO NEEDS THAT MANY NOTEBOOKS?

Exhibit B

(Left - notebook from Musei Civici in Venice, Right - The Little Prince moleskine from Paris)

These are two examples from my currently stack. I picked them up in my travels over the years, and yet here they sit unloved.

I also have lots of non-moleskines. For example...

Exhibit C

My friend Camie bought this back from Japan for me! How cute? Everyone knows how much I love organization.

The point of this post I suppose is to encourage myself to use the notebooks I have, reduce the stack a bit, and to write more lists.

Am I the only one with this problem?
