I only bought the sketchbook due to the cute cat and because it didn’t have a hard cover.

It’s not as good quality as many of my other unused smart black ones.

The paper isn’t very thick and it’s  bigger than I expected. 

But I love that cat!

And because it’s not so good, then it’s not so threatening. I can make a mess, and scribble and do rubbish drawings and write nonsense.

I’m really enjoying it!

I’ve been experimenting with different crayons etc.

It occurred  to me that I could stick watercolour paper on some of the pages and then I could use watercolours without them going right through the paper.

Then I wondered if I should stick some other paper on random pages.

At this point I decided that I needed to go to the Meetmarket for inspiration.

I bought sellotape, a pen with additional refills, a white mystery thing,  a child’s book with coloured paper and a pencil sharpener.

At that point I was distracted by a large blue plastic bath.

Back to my upgraded sketch pad.

It made me very happy to do this today. I enjoyed making something special and unique. (I might have some more ideas yet. )

But the biggest thing is that it’s not full of scary white pages.

Hopefully there will soon be some fun drawings, a bit of writing and who knows what else in it.

Now it’s wine time. Been a lovely day.
