The past 35 days has been an incredible experience and I want to thank you for your support, interest, and kind comments! You have made my dream a reality and I can't wait to send you these great tools.
As we were so close to reaching the 15K stretch goal, I want to add a small gift to everyone by making all five notebook cover choices available!
What's Next?
Once Kickstarter finalizes the payment process (1-2 weeks), I will send you the reward survey using BackerKit to collect your shipping address and color preferences for the folio, and notebooks. BackerKit is a third party provider that assists with the fulfillment process to help get your rewards to you quickly, and I will send another update when these surveys are sent so you don't miss them.
Thank you again for your support and I hope you have a great week!
Surprise Stretch Goal! Final Days to Reach $15,000
almost 8 years ago

With only a few days left, I want to offer the Orange and Green notebook cover choices if we can reach the $15,000 mark!
I personally liked these two colors and, since they did so well in the last poll, I had to offer them to you as possible options. So, during these final days of the campaign, if you know someone who might like these as well, please be sure to let them know before the campaign ends on Monday!
If we meet the $15K goal, you can pick your color choices in the final survey and can also add notebooks to your order by increasing your pledge $20 per book. To do this, click the "Manage Pledge" button and then select "Change My Pledge".
I have tried not to bother you with requests to share this project as you have already done enough by pledging your support. I am now asking to help reach this final goal so we can each enjoy the selection of all five color choices (Soft White, Blueprint Blue, Matte Black, Mint Green, and Light Orange.)
Thank you all once again for your help backing my project and making this possible! It has been a great event!!
I have mentioned this project before, and I even had the opportunity to review the notebook which fits nicely in my folio. You can read the review HERE.
If you are unfamiliar with Will Hodges, here is your chance to get in on the bolt action pens he is making. He has a history of high quality machined pens and this looks like the best yet. Click HERE to learn more.
$12,000!!! Stretch Goal #2 Reached! And the new notebook cover color is....

Matte Black!!!
Matte Black is the new Notebook Cover Choice
Thanks to all of you the project reached a goal of $12,000 and the third notebook cover choice is now available! Using the point based system, Black was a popular first or second choice (143 points), over green (128 points), and then orange (123 points.) Thank you to everyone for voting.
This is the final week for this project and it has been so much fun watching this grow and change with everyone's input. I started this campaign by reaching out to notebook users to find out what they wanted in a folio, and from this, I built this A5 size folio. A few of you have asked about a larger size to accommodate a larger tablet and I am finalizing the details on this new size. I will have more on this coming soon!
I hope everyone has a good week and if you know of anyone that might like this project please be sure to share it with them before the campaign ends. Thank you!
Stretch Goal #2 Announcement - Project Notebook Color Choice!
almost 8 years ago
– Sun, Sep 11, 2016 at 06:15:23 AM
You get to vote on the color of the next project notebook we will be adding!
Currently, every backer has the option between the two colors (shown below) Soft White or Blueprint Blue.
I would like to add a third notebook color choice for everyone so I am offering four additional options for you to consider and “vote” on…Black, Pink, Orange, or Green. Please leave a comment below with your rank of all four (first, second, etc) so I can get a better feeling for what backers would prefer.
If the campaign reaches the funding goal of $12,000, I will offer a third notebook cover choice from one of the four options!
I also wanted to take a moment and thank everyone for making the project such a great success. This week we passed the 200% mark with $9,000 in total funding!
I never imagined we would reach this level so quickly and I have you to thank for it. This is a dream come true for me as I have always wanted to build something that makes other people become better at what they are passionate about. I truly appreciate your support and hope you will make it better with your order of notebook covers!
I hope you have a great week,
Mike
Stretch Goal #1 Reached $7,500!

New Dot Grid/Ruled Page Layout Available
With your help, it only took 3 days to reach the first goal of $7,500 and the dot grid and ruled page layout design will now be available! Thank you for sharing this project and continuing to make this an awesome campaign!
First Stretch Goal Reached!
There will now be two choices of page layouts for the 150-page project notebooks, Square Grid and the new choice, Dot Grid/Ruled, shown above. The option to select your choice will be available at the end of the campaign. (The image above is not representative of the final layout, just an illustration)
The campaign had a lot of movement last week from your help sharing the campaign, and the project was also featured on Rhodia Notebooks social site, RhodiaDrive. Rhodia makes some great products and their smooth paper is ideal for fountain pen use. You can find the Webnotebooks HERE.
The Rhodia Webnotebooks (Desk Size) are the perfect size for the folio
Looking forward, the second stretch goal will be announced this week with a poll to determine a new project notebook cover color!
Thank you again for all your support and I hope you have a great week!
