Earlybird gave me this idea: sharing my notebooks with you.
I started using a notebook on the advice of the Open University creative writing course. I knew at once that I should have kept one all my life. I’m making up for lost time: since starting one back in 2008 I have filled thirty-seven:
I like to cover them. I use interesting things I find and bind them with sellotape to make the covers stronger.
My first four were rather dull:
Then I decided to have fun. I use newspaper cuttings:
Pretty ladies:
Souvenirs of happy days:
Funny birthday cards:
Sometimes the front and back are different:
And sometimes share a theme:
They reflect my interests:
My home:
And my love:
But most of all, they combine two of my favourite things: writing and sellotape.
I have the funniest readers in the blogosphere (not necessarily ha ha…)
