Announcement
USPS DOMESTIC DELIVERIES AFFECTED BY COVID-19:
USPS announced that due to the COVID-19 pandemic’s effect on transportation availability, some services will experience delays beginning April 17, 2020. Please visit the USPS website for more information on delays - https://about.usps.com/newsroom/covid-19/
INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING:
While I've been open to shipping to most countries internationally for many years, there has been an increase in shipping delays and additional regulation that have been making it more difficult to ship outside the U.S., so many countries have been disabled from the shop. Please message me if you want a specific country enabled in the shop again for shipping. I cannot guarantee delivery dates due to those potential shipping delays internationally.
----------
My current turnaround time will be 3 to 10 business days before shipping (excludes weekends). Thanks for your patience as we process notebook orders! If I can ship out orders faster, I will do my best to make that happen.

Unfortunately, at this time, I am no longer accepting requests for custom layouts/spreads that do not already exist in the shop. It will be on a case by case basis if I'm able to do any custom layouts/spreads so I can focus on current orders, but I can do custom requests combining existing notebooks that are already available in my shop. Please message me first before placing your order.
Reach out if you have any questions about existing notebooks or if you have any suggestions for the shop! For more information about me & my shop, see my profile and my shop policies before ordering.

5 out of 5 starsLet me say, I have buying from them for a few years now and am more impressed with every delivery!! Tomoe river paper in about an hour size you can imagine? Yes please! Great customer service? Check! Great delivery times? Yes!!!! Classy and professional? To a tee!! This is the first and one of the only places I now get my Tomoe river paper from! In fact it has been for years. This is a grade “A” company that I am so happy I discovered years ago. I highly suggest any product in the store as it has been made with great care and quality! I wish I could give more stars!

5 out of 5 starsI’ve never used onion paper before, so I went with pocket size to see how I would think about it. It’s gorgeous! It’s fun to use. I don’t mind the ghosting honestly, I just use this as a quotes journal and make little collages. As always, paper penguin makes such incredible notebooks.

5 out of 5 starsThis is the first time I have ever gotten the blue grid paper (you can get it in any style you want, I chose grid) and it looks SO cool! I am going to use it to test out metallic pens, watercolors (even though it's not watercolor paper, you can still test colors on it) and gel pens. It's just so bright and vivid, I think it's cool.

5 out of 5 starsThere just aren't enough good descriptor words in the English language that I can find for Dominique and her shop PaperPenguinCo. Her Bullet Journal inserts are what made me fall in love with her shop a long, long time ago, and what keep me coming back for so many other of her inserts. The Bujo inserts can have various covers (this one happens to be the Wood Grain which is SO super cool) and have a few blank pages in the front with "Index" titled at the top, for you to put the list of the pages you have stored in the book, and then she *numbers the pages*. I love this part so much - because I HATE numbering pages. You have have it done on Tomoe River Paper, or on her buttery smooth regular paper. It's ALL good.

A5 Slim Size
If you are interested in the A5 Slim size, I would recommend the Wide size option from the shop. The A5 Slim size is listed as 8.3" x 4.9" and the traditional Wide size is 8.25" x 5". Since the sizes are very close (0.05" x 0.1" difference), it would be a great option. When placing an order for the A5 Slim size, if you need it cut exactly at 8.3" x 4.9", please leave a note at checkout.
Alternative Cover Options
If you are purchasing a notebook with Tomoe River, Strathmore, Shiraoi, Onion Skin or any other custom papers and would like an alternative cover added to the notebook instead of the kraft brown or black options, please order the specialty paper notebook and leave a note at checkout which cover you would like me to use from the shop. Please note not all covers are available in the largest size (Extra Wide / A5) when placing your cover request.
Square Corners (No Corner Rounding) on Notebooks
If you are looking for square corners (no corner rounding), I can exclude the corner rounding after cutting the notebooks. Please leave a note at checkout that you want square corners on your notebooks.
