I like calico cats and long walks on the beach... I'm kidding about the beaches. My cat is dang cute, though. I like reading, mainly science-fiction and fantasy, although I've been on a non-fiction kick for a while. I journal, long-form, not much art (although I should give that a crack someday!). I have four journals on the go, plus a notepad. Not kidding.

Speaking of notebooks, half-letter, B5 and A5 sizes are my Goldilocks zone - easy to tote, but not feeling hemmed in and needing to write in teeny tiny letters. I prefer spiral bound... but I'm a sucker for a pretty cover, so Paperblanks gets a fair bit of my money.

No shimmer inks please! I have so many already! (Also, I use them with a dip pen, since I haven't had success with them in fountain pens. In other words, I'm not using the shimmer inks I already own fast enough...) Sheening and chromatic inks are bomb though. I have no brown inks, so if you have a favourite, a sample of it would be awesome. A sample of Noodler's X-feather would be neat, too.

For pens, I'd love to try a Pelikan Jazz, a Sheaffer Pop BB-8 or a Faber Castell hexo pen. I'd be curious to give a Majohn A1 a whirl as well. The Parker IM Metallic Pursuit and Parker IM Last Frontier Submerge and Portal all look so pretty! Grails would be Platinum Century 3776 Nice Lilas or Nice Lavande.

I like rubber stamps, stickers, and washi tape too. If you have any of that you'd like to throw my way (especially an ink bottle outline stamp for ink swatches), rad!

Still, no pressure - I'm here for fun - give what you want and can 👍
