In this video, I talk about my December plans - mainly my preparation for Diamine Inkvent Calendar which I will start on Friday, December 1st. I did not ink December pens yet because I anticipate I will ink several of the Inkvent inks. I am using up fills on my November pens in the meantime + I will be back with a mid-month progress report to show you which inks tempted me to ink a pen. This video I also show you my dip pens, pens I plan to use to try out Inkvent inks, my journal spread, tiles I prepared and my Goulet notebook I'll be using.
Very Special thanks go to pen friend P.L. for the surprise gift of a brand new Bond Travel Gear A5 notebook -- wow -- and to pen friend M.W. for the charming puzzle piece ink holders!
Other topics explored in this video:
How to open the Diamine Inkvent bottles easily with a seam ripper (sewing notion).

Coco makes a cameo (sleeping in my chair near where I film the video).
Talking about my mind map of December and the things I will be working in including:
Writing challenge by Ink Journal: Open the Door to 2024 (this has closed for enrollment now) it is going to be centered on reviewing 2023 and journaling/preparing for 2024.
