As seen on Notebookism
Notebookism is a site for notebook fanatics that was set up by Armand B. Frasco as an alternative to the Moleskinerie site he created three years ago for Moleskine users.
The site features interesting pictures and stories of notebooks and their contents. I’m honoured to have had my homemade Circa notebooks featured more than once on the site. The latest feature is not about my homemade creations but rather about my gift from Levenger. I reproduce the article below.

After years of using Levenger products – specifically its Circa system – I was rewarded with a gift from the company recently, courtesy of Ryan (aka Rasmussen on DIYPlanner.com).
Even tho I was expecting the package, it was still a thrill to open the courier box and come upon the gorgeous gift box with its matching elastic band.
What was inside? Let’s see … there were soft colour pocket dividers, 3×5 size; 3×5 white and soft colour vertical tabs (with and without the Circa notches); 3×5 white and multi-coloured cards; and a Circa-Dex, too.
And how many years have I been a Levenger user? At least 7 years. I was going through my old diaries last night and came upon references to Levenger purchases dating as far back as November 1999. Some references included the promise never to order from Levenger again, but as you can see, I’ve not kept that promise.
It has been a love-hate relationship with Levenger. I love its products but I hate the exorbitantly high costs of having them shipped to me in Malaysia.
I’ve purchased a wide range of Levenger products, and my old diary entries indicate some early disappointment with items that did not meet up to the glossy catalog pictures. Recently, however, I’ve finally settled on using the Levenger Circa system as my primary notetaking system. The desktop punch was one of my earliest (and probably most expensive) Levenger purchase, but it has proved to be the backbone of my personal Circa system. With the punch, and the Circa rings, as well as notebook covers, I can make my own home-made Circa notebooks. My favourite feature is the Rolodex-style notches that the punch makes, that allows me to move pages within my notebooks.
Love it, love it, love it!
And thank you, thank you, thank you, Ryan and Levenger, for the most welcome gift!
