Hobonichi Techo Drawings

Lists, watercolor, highlighter, drawings, 

collage, and doodles. 

I love my Hobonichi Techo planner.

My husband bought it for me

for Christmas. He ordered it from

Japan.  I am still getting used to

 the smaller size,(4.1" x 5.8")

 but the paper is marvelous!

The thin pages resist pen bleed-through,

and are stitched to lie flat when open.

I admit it, I don't get a lot done

in a day...mostly puttering around.

But it's my life right now, and I'm

thankful for each day...

There is a very dedicated following

for this planner in Japan, and it

is becoming popular  world wide.

Once I drew on this Tomoe River paper,

 I understood why...

Ball point pen, my beloved Sharpie

pen, and highlighters do not bleed 

through the paper. The only pen I've

tried that bled through was a Precise

red pen, so I will save that for other

journals. 

Yes, we've been to see the new

Star Wars movie twice now...

I guess we qualify as science

fiction geeks.  Love the new 

heroine ~ Rey!  And I think a 

lot of little girls will adore her too.

My Hobonichi Techo planner is

shaping up to be more of an

illustrated diary...

and that pleases me.
