This looks like fun - learn how to bind journals with the Wish Journal Workshop, courtesy of The Journal Girl Shoppe. And it's completely online (my kind of convenience). You can hear a lovely song in the intro video: Absolutely Nothing by Lilly Allen. Ooh, and she also has a zine called Page by Page.

New Circa 1934 - Cosmo Cricket

Amy at badskirt was the lucky recipient of this prize. The prints and colors speak to me in so many ways. What fabulous combinations: typewriters and fabric, strong red and moss green, with a touch of vintage cream.

- Confucius
This, and other sage advice about improving our relationship with the printed word can be found at this amazing blog: The Mental Fitness Center.
