Hi Cathy, fellow sketchbook addict here, LOVE all the different varieties and have a ridiculous number of them!

Hi Cathy a fellow addict, I've hundreds. Just love the smell of a new book and the thrill of finishing one. I always date them. Funny when u pick up an old one.

Oh I know that feeling, they are look good, feel good, smell good and you always need to take a new one out with you just I case you run out of blank pages while you are out sketching therefore ending up with part filled books. Sigh!

Paper is my downfall and yes sketchbooks , I love pink piggys , handbags and shoes leave me cold . Though I can be tempted by scarves .

I can relate Cathy. Don't care about shoes or clothes - love tools (I make my own frames) and love art materials. Bliss!
