Appreciation post: My bullet journal took a swim in a coffee shop
I was at the Muddy Cup in Portland, trying to sketch a new weekly layout, when my entire mug of coffee tipped over. It went right across the open pages of my Leuchtturm1917. I grabbed a stack of napkins fast and blotted it, but the ink was already running. I let it dry overnight, then the next day I just went over the smeared lines with a thicker pen and turned the coffee stain into a watercolor-style background for that week's header. Has anyone else had to save a page after a major spill? What did you do?

Okay, but you blotted it with napkins and it still worked? My Leuchtturm paper buckles if I look at it wrong. I had a much smaller water spill once and the page turned into a crinkled mess, totally unusable. I'm honestly amazed you could still write on it after a full mug. That paper must have been some kind of magic batch.

Maybe you got a bad batch? My Leuchtturm has handled coffee drips fine, just some light ghosting. What ink were you using when yours crinkled up?
