Gifts for Paper Lovers 2011 : Journals + Notebooks

Journals and notebooks are so popular this year, which makes me very happy because I’m definitely a notebook/journal kind of gal. I always have at least a few different “active” ones – for notes about projects, to-do lists, sketches, ideas – at any given time, and I’ve been in my glory with all of the stylish designs that have come out over the past couple of years. Here’s a little collection of notebooks and journals that I think would look great tucked in a stocking or underneath a Christmas tree.
