As this project was brewing in my mind I used several methods to collect and organize ideas, thoughts, and resources. Though I am as much a 21st century girl as the next smart phone dependent female, I also have a love of the classics.
Thanks to a random gift from my mother - a very useful little item to wind your ear buds' cord around - I began receiving the
Levenger catalogue. After drooling over the pages dedicated to a Type-A bibliophile's ideal goods, I caved. I bought a starter pack for the Circa junior. I was hooked after about 3.4 seconds. Two more
Circa notebooks have entered my house and they are worth the investment.
You can snoop through the website. I love the notebooks since they allow me to rearrange things as much as I wish like a 3-ring binder, yet function like a notebook. Plus there are all sorts of little add-ons. I've picked up a few types of refill paper and a punch. That punch was worth the investment as I'll explain with my new infatuation - free printables.
The large Circa is for personal things (you'll see some of the insides soon, I promise) along with a few sections for a non-profit organization I work with on their board. One smaller Circa is predominantly work things with sections for each main area of ministry, a general notes, and then dreams/brainstorming. The last Circa, and most recent addition, is an attempt to keep my kitchen in order. I use it to keep those not-quite-recipes, but still more than just slapping PB&J on bread type ideas organized, one section is a record of all the grains and how to cook them that are in containers in my cabinet (I put them in containers instead of having bags of rice and quinoa sitting around), favorite recipes from my cookbooks so I don't have to page through one of those dozen tomes sitting around my house.
PS: These are my views, unsolicited and most definitely not compensated by Levenger.
