I have been a stationary-holic for as long as I can remember. Buying school supplies was always exciting. Getting to pick all of the new pens, pencils, notebooks, and more was the highlight of the school year. Then there was of course getting it all organized and ready. Is it any wonder that this excitement about all things school supply turned into a love for planners and journals as well? I mean really, is there a better feeling than opening that fresh blank planner or notebook for the first time and deciding how you’re going to organize it and what you’re going to put in it?

The problem I found myself running into was finding that perfect planner. The ones I had been finding either contained page types that  I neither wanted or needed and I only ended up using half of available pages, or the options that were available were blasé. It was rather by chance that I stumbled upon a disc-bound notebook in a discount store one day. Imagine my surprise when I found out that not only were there notebooks like this, but a variety of planners and pages as well.
