aeykelbo Is this like when people buy new gym clothes thinking it'll make them go to the gym ? Also, a previous New Years ideabook made a compelling argument to de-clutter... so I think I'm going to buy less stuff rather than more ;) But the professionally designed resume is a good idea...

Fine Art & Portraits by Laurel Super thin pens and mechanical pencils look cool, but actually the thick ones are much more comfortable (this from the child who crushed crayons in her intense grip).

scarbowcow Moss? I need moss to keep my New Years' Resolutions? And a leather bag? At some point I lost track of what this ideabook was supposed to be about.

Pim Van Hemmen I have to say, I love Houzz, but this is not a post worthy of the website. I have looked at a lot of posts and all of them have something of value, but this one reads like a shameless promotion to sell things we really do not need.
