I'm an avid fountain pen user and collector for quite some time. But
within the last 5-6 years I've been working on my note taking and
entering info into a personal or dev general so that I don't forget a
thing. Memory goes with age. :P Notebooks can get expensive if you're looking for high quality brands.

I've bought many notebooks including brands such as Moleskin, Leuchterm,
and Rhodia. I saw a video about a new brand that's popping up in
Walmart stores for fraction of the price of the bigger name journals, planners, and mini notebooks. For a price comparison most of the big
brands range from $20-$40. These Exceed journals are running between
$7-10. They all have double ribbon markers and have 100 gsm Heavy Weight paper. This is especially important for any of you using fountain pens
or other wet pens that generally bleed through on thinner paper and
lesser quality notebooks.

So head on down to your nearest Walmart and take advantage of this great
deal. :D

My wife calls herself a "pen whore." LOL When we would go to conferences
and such she would collect as many different pens as possible. When I
go in a store I might browse the Hot Wheels, looking for a new
Gaslands vehicle, but she'll look at the pens. :-)

If I want to surprise her, she's okay with flowers, but REALLY
loves getting pens, and lately more and more journals, so I
WILL be checking these out! Thanks!

I'm definitely a pen whore (male version). I'm the same way when I go to conferences. In the past you'd always find me splitting from the family at
the mall and going directly to Best Buy or some other manly man store. hehe But ever since my younger daughter and son have been old enough to start
using pens and fountain pens, I've started them on dad's OTHER expensive
hobby. My dad taught me to have great penmanship and I've vowed to do the
same with my kids. Most malls have begun opening up stationary shops that carry pens and stationary from around the world and journaling has grown because of the large brand selection of notebooks and pens that are made available to the public.

Hope you find it at a Walmart near you and that your wife enjoys it. :)

That's very interesting! Didn't realize things like that existed!

Yes, I live in a small town. :-) We have about 500 people, and the next
big town over, where we work, is about 30,000 people. Pretty small,
compared to, say Memphis, where I dial in (telnet) the the 'local'
BBS. :-)

Thank you! And yeah, I've seen it grow some...

Worth a look. I use fountain pens, and I've been happy with some of
the no-name dot grid notebooks - the one I'm using now was $8.56. I
use a Pilot Metropolitan and a handful of no-name ebay fountain pens,
with little or no bleeding.

I still got some Pilot Metropolitans in my collection. It was a good starter pen when I got my younger daughter into fountain pens. There's a bunch of
pens that I would highly recommend from Ebay. My daily writers are actually from Ebay.
