#naturenotebook

I'm so excited to announce that I just finished writing the interior of my latest Webster's Dictionary (1913) notebook. The theme is nature and the quotes are amazing!

As an avid outdoor enthusiast, I connected with many of the nature-themed quotes from over 30 notable people, both past and present. I find nothing more relaxing than walking several miles with Arvis, the mascot of The Literary Labrador, on wooded trails near our home.

My all-time favorite nature quote comes from John Muir and you'll soon see that his words have a prominent position in the back interior cover of the new Nature notebook. The quote reads: "In every walk in nature one receives far more than he seeks."

I can't agree more fully with this quote. So many of my creative ideas come when I'm taking one of my daily walks. Not only do I generate many ideas but any stresses that have built up always seem so much less when I return home. Also, recently Arvis and I have seen, several times now, a black bear with two very young cubs, a doe with her twin fawns, wild turkeys, owls, red-tail hawks, skunks, etc. I have to say that the black bear sightings were by far the most amazing and so cute!

I hope to have these new Nature releases ready for sale on Monday. I plan to have three colors - clover green, spring green, and light bark brown. Once these are complete, I will move on to create several Nature notebooks with illustrated or photograph covers. In my short time here on Etsy I've learned that people LOVE variety.

I hope that everyone who reads this is able to get outside and enjoy all that Nature has to offer. Many amazing sights, smells, and sounds are waiting; if one only takes the time to look for and experience them.
