  Make your own notes

  

  For me, a notebook is an external hard drive. What I write by hand is deeply engraved in my memory and can also serve as a message or encouragement to my future self. I will accompany you on the first step of making your own notebook, while introducing my favorite notebooks and writing utensils.

  The one-minute portrait can be drawn of a dog or cat, not just a human! The original nameplate and sign maker will listen to your design requests on the spot, draw a nameplate or sign, and hand it over to you on the day.
