1. Monika – our manager – was the first to choose her calendar back in September – she chose Hobonichi Weeks Hiroko Kubota: Night Cherry Blossom Snow Globe. There was no room for negotiation; knowing the working conditions well, she hid it so no one could find it, or worse, sell it!
The layout was tested by Monika, so there are no surprises. What's new is that it will also use the A5 Day Free calendar – note: this one was from last year, as not all the pages were used!
2. Aneta - also for the second year in a row, chose Hobonichi - this time, however, the Hon a6 Hiroko Kubota: Crescent Moon Delivery. It handles wonderfully - I don't know if I can convince her to show it to you - but I'll try.
3. Julia - this was where I had the most doubts and Julia changed her mind several times to finally choose the Hobonichi A6 Original - I'm very curious to see what will be created in it!
4. Robert – a weekly insert for the Traveler's Notebook Passport Size – and an MD wall calendar. He can't live without the latter, and I dare say it holds our family's life together. Only once, when we ran out of them and another one was hanging up, did Robert feel lost for the entire year, so we didn't make that mistake again this year.
5. Me – well, I guess it won't surprise anyone that my number one choice is a monthly refill for Traveler's Notebook – that's where I manage my life in general. If I don't write something down, I tend to forget, but when I do write something down with a pen, it's unfortunate whoever dares to disrupt my plans, and I end up on the blacklist of those I write in pencil – that's my punishment. However, at work this year, I'll be using MD Paper A5, because thanks to its loose layout – or rather, lack thereof – I don't feel the futility of weekly division, which I haven't used at all this year! MD gives me freedom while also keeping track of what I have to do – and the stamps look the best on it, and I've gone a bit wild with them this year.
We'll see how the next year goes in our elections - rest assured, we'll let you know!
