Sewing Up Something New at Gadanke

My jumbo project this week? Grant writing.

As it turns out, writing grant applications (for the geothermal heating system at the hangar) is not nearly so fun as journal prompt writing. Drats.

So I started thinking, “Boy, what could make all of these conference calls and business note taking moments more fun?”

What could make all of our day-to-day note keeping more fun?

Okay. I confess. This wasn’t a last minute idea. The truth is I’ve been hauling one of these awesome books back and forth between the US and Germany a million times over the years. The bright, friendly color of my notebook has – so far – twinkled from the seat pocket in front of me on commercial flights. “HEY! Don’t forget to grab me as you disembark the aircraft, Missy!”

Whew. We all need that little shout sometimes. (My notebook’s personality is a tad formal, a tad sassy, and filled with more crossed off, jet lagged words and ideas than frequent flier miles.)

I thought you might like that little burst of sassy fun, too…

Introducing : {For the Record} ~ Fabric Covered Notebooks

I hope you like them! Marin is pretty fond of the Monkey Business notebook.

As for Gadanke stats you love:

  • notebooks made with recycled papers (exact % unknown)
  • fabrics from a local shop owned and operated by a super sweet mother with handmade biz dreams
  • covers lined with soft and fuzzy fabric for an extra oomph

Each blank book measures 7.5 x 10 inches (19 x 25 cm). And I love using them! I hope you do, too.

I don’t know what the bigger question is now. Which {For the Record} notebook would you pick? OR What would you write in it?
