I can't believe you don't use your previous December pages! By the time December rolls around I'm so excited for the new weeks and so over my old one, that I just move straight across (and the December in the current year becomes a way for me to trial different things I want to do in the new weeks). I love the stickers you used on the title page (the Korean ones) - super cute. The stickers I get are always so big, I need to find a way to find smaller decorative stickers... (like I need to spend any more money on stickers...). And I hear you about the year at a glance double spread - I always struggle with how to use it. I used to use if for wordcount, but now it's a way for me to see school holidays, public holidays, leave, etc at a glance and I use my month at a glance to capture the things I want to look back on when I do my end of year review....

My first purchase from BPC I got Electron, Celestial Blue, Arugula, and Waterfront Dusk. I now own over 50 bottles of their inks. Waterfront Dusk is my favorite of theirs (although I love so many of their colors picking a favorite is difficult). I bought it to pair with my TWSBI Draco and it turned out to be the perfect pairing. It’s the only color I’ve ever used in that pen. BPC is hands down my favorite brand of ink. Great video! Thanks for sharing.
