Maybe you could fill one of the sketchbooks with "the little things" that you're excited to see again, as lockdown lifts? All those objects that aren't especially lovely or unusual, but which we haven't seen in over a year, may have taken on their own beauty while the world has stopped.

Thank you Minnie! I've made tiny sketchbooks for doodling but didn't bind them the way you did. I like your way better! It would be very cool to see you fill these like you do your bigger sketchbook with landscapes, flowers, plants, movie scenes, maybe urban buildings (?), just all as miniature as the sketchbook. It might be challenging but if anybody can do it, you can.

Minnie darrrrling what a brilliant and beautiful video! You are so fun to watch- I enjoyed seeing how natural you are on camera! Just bee careful spraying your mirror next to your dracanea plant it might strip the leaves. Just move him before you spray I’d be sad to see you lose him. Mines called spickle and is 4 trunked he’s been my boy for 11 years now! But has some stripped leaves brown at the ends from having mistakenly sprayed cleaner near him it gets in soil too so have to try and change the soil x 🪴

I've made a few little sketchbooks and notebooks over the years. One I keep around with me at all times that has some important info in it and easily fits in to small places so it has no chance of getting lost unless forgotten about when it is brought out! I did a rather interesting one a couple years ago, about 1.2 inches by 0.7 inches~. I got it from making various folds on some note stand I got as a present. Ended up with some weird dimensions to save wasting paper. I made the outer cover of it out of the very same paper, just a couple more of them folded together and glued. But the genius bit is I also glued little paper clips on to one side and cut a little cavity in to the other so you can push the clips in to the holes and seal the book. It worked surprisingly well... after I covered the paper clips in glue to stop them fraying lol The book itself also had some folding pages, rather than discrete pages, for some larger things. I thought "this could be good for a mini-landscape sketch one day" and I still haven't filled it. It even has a secret page. I managed to fit a secret page in to a book smaller than a typical finger. I was rather proud of that. You need to be doing something odd with it in order to actually find the page. It was also a stitched binder, stitching is just so simple to do them. I also tried a metal wire from a cable tie on a more recent one I'm making for my niece, that kind of worked. That one you showed with the metal notebook binder was crazy, I'd not have the patience to do something like that.
