The Hot Chocolate pattern is a fun collection in chocolate brown with pastel swirls, circles, and stripes. I love that it stands out from the standard black and navy notebooks that line my bookshelves and plain manila files in my cabinet. Here are some of my favorite pieces and how I'm using them to simplify my freelance life:
7" x 5" Personal Book - I use this compact notebook to take with me EVERYWHERE. It's easy to find in my purse or laptop bag whenever I have a great idea for an article or pitch. A writer cannot be without a good notebook to record those fleeting flashes of brilliance.
Sticky Notes and Flags - These are perfect for marking pages in magazines, when I want to go back and reference an idea. They're also useful as bookmarks. I'm constantly reading and can never find my bookmark.
Accordion Folder - An accordion folder is a must-have for organizing tax information, research materials, and idea snippets by category. I have several, and I was thrilled to receive this one from Carolina Pad!
Three Ring Binder and Tab Dividers - I use this combination of supplies to organize my blogs. I keep a section for each blog that contains post ideas, rough editorial calendar, and review/giveaway information. I couldn't live without my binders!

I could really use the 7" x 5" Personal Book! I always keep a notebook in my purse to write down holiday gifts that I've bought, things that I don't want to forget to do, and ideas for writing that come to me while I'm on the road. I was noticing the other day that my current purse notebook is almost all used up and is falling apart! So, this couldn't come at a more perfect time. Thanks for a great giveaway!
