I’ve been eyeing that drawer pouch for so long. It’s sooooo pretty 🥲 you are making me regret walking away from all of the paddington bear stuff. It’s so cute 😭 Also, smelling new notebooks 😂 I’m glad I’m not the only one who does that! Love your haul!!!

[@FountainPenNews]

I am loving it! It holds so much! I'm so thrilled that I'm not the only notebook sniffer. Ha ha

[@pennycandyys]

You’re probably the first or second person that I’ve ever heard of that smells the pages of books, haha, I’m stoked to hear I’m not the only one that noticed. It never occurred to me to smell the Hobonichi pages because it’s not an old book, but now I’ll have to smell them myself! But if you *_really_* want to smell an amazing old book smell, go to the children’s section in your library and pull out some of the older picture books to stick your face in and take a big whiff of, lol. The smell is heaven! (if it smells stale though, grab a different book). It was fun to see some of the lesser-revealed items like the magnetic bookmarks, the orange page tabs, the ruler, etc., thanks for sharing! Also I’m enjoying the pop of colour on your nails! 💅 😉

@@pennycandyys thanks for watching! We book-smelling freaks need to stick together. Ha ha. I did a video a couple of weeks ago about how I picked these nails and didn't realize I have pens and inks to match. So fun!

[@pennycandyys]

Haha, not me here, back again watching your video again! By any chance did you happen to notice the irony at 7:29 when you blurted out *‘words!’* in frustration because you couldn’t bring the right word to mind, and meanwhile the stencil you were holding up contained a bunch of speech bubbles? 😂 Would it make you feel any better to know you’re not alone? Gosh it’s frustrating and it happens to me way too often! 🙄😬😆

[@FountainPenNews]

@@pennycandyys ha at least I didn't say a swear to stick in those speech bubbles!

[@robbourne1950]

What's up Wendi Sue. I okie doke past your videos now and then and it makes me giggle when I hear your closing at the end. Way back 40 years ago in NY, there was a station 1010 Wins news. "You give us 22 minutes, we'll give you the world." The sound was exactly the sound you make. Look it up. Anyway, talk about a haul. I have the Sushi HON too. That is the only book I ordered, along with the cafe au'lait cover. You bought enough for all of us. 💜

[@FountainPenNews]

I totally know it! I think that's where I got the boodoopboop from. Ha ha. Oh man, I really did but enough for everyone! Ha ha out of control.

[@robbourne1950]

@@FountainPenNews That's awesome. For a moment I wondered if you were from NY. Now remember, the Paddington Weeks was an unplanned purchase. So all you have to do, is sell it to me, and then you can tell hubby that you DE stashed! Right? 😁

[@FountainPenNews]

@@robbourne1950 haaa! Right!

[@dawnyWestScotland]

The smell of new paper 😸✂️☀️ Great share!

[@FountainPenNews]

@@dawnyWestScotland oh man, it's just the best!! Thanks for watching!!

[@criseldasantiago7912]

Thank you for sharing your haul! I love seeing what everyone ordered! Paddington weeks is sooo cute!

[@FountainPenNews]

@@criseldasantiago7912 thank you! What am I going to do with him?? He must be used, don't you think?

[@ramonafirehorse]

Great haul. If I had ordered from Japan I would’ve tried for the Paddington Weeks. The wallpaper was my second choice. I ended up getting the Purple Nights. Are the Deco Rush like washi tape?

[@cerealnana]

That Paddington is so cute!

[@FountainPenNews]

@@cerealnana I love him so much!

[@criseldasantiago7912]

Oh yes definitely, hmmm maybe use him for maybe a manifestation notebook/ positive affirmation

[@FountainPenNews]

@@criseldasantiago7912 ooo I like that idea!!

[@nourin_siddique]

Wait wendi you don't say beep beep boop anymore?? 😭😭 Ok u do at the end. Also, you should use weeks as your main planner or as memory keep. Write small moments with family and inks.

[@FountainPenNews]

I will never not do it at the end!! I promise!!

[@FountainPenNews]

I use a weeks mega for my main planner because I need more notes pages than the regular weeks has. I am leaning toward paddington weeks as you said as memory keeping and/or gratitude list. I also thought about it as an ink log?

[@nourin_siddique]

@@FountainPenNews yes, lori does her morning pages and writes her ink & pen pairing. you can do that but with memories. it is so sweet. You can keep the notebook as keepsake for years to come & use your journalling supplies to add ephemora and photos. it will look good I think and you will love taking care of the bear.
