In this video, I show you what I put into my little Mini Journaling Kit (in a plastic 4x3" playing card container). And, I discuss various pocket pens, tiny scissors, and other fun things one could put in their kit.
This all started for me when I happened upon 2 great videos about an Altoids (mints) tin journaling kit -- these videos inspired me!:

![Progress Report - May 2025
In this video, I talk about how the fountain pens and inks Ive been writing with are working out! It has been a busy and strange month so far and Im a week late with this progress report but better late than never! Other chat topics include: why I prefer a broad nib, show and tell on a few pens that came in, journaling and my bullet journal + I show my new sleep tracking. At the end I explain a little bit about the guardian situation and how I am working to appeal 2 decisions/departments for special consideration so my Mom can either get a higher level of care or stay where she is. Right now the powers that be (same agency oversees both the ALF and the Medicaid clinical evals) have not only denied Medicaid based on clinically not qualifying ... but also served us/Mom involuntary discharge notice from her assisted living. This situation is hard because we have to advocate like a totally impartial professional guardians (me and my brother) ... while at the same time its so incredibly personal because were also her children. Anyway, prayers are certainly welcomed.
Here is a list of the pens and inks talked about:
1. Lamy Vista B wtih Pennonia Nettle
2. Lamy Safari Light Rose B with Toms Studio Rambling Rose
3. Lamy 2000 B with Pilot Iroshizuku Fuyu-gaki
4. Kaweco Sport AL Ruby BB with Toms Studio Mulled Apple Spice
5. Benu Euphoria Pink Champagne B wtih Monteverde Rose Noir
6. Benu Talisman Sakura Cherry Blossoms B with Robert Oster Kids on the Block
7. TWSBI Eco Transparent Purple B with Diamine Lavender
8. rOtring Art Pen 1.1 [CHANGED TO: TWSBI ECO T - B Eggplant] with Pennonia Arvacska
9. TWSBI Eco Indigo/Bronze M with Diamine Oxford Blue
10. TWSBI Go B Smoke with Rohrer & Klingner Alt Goldgrun
