Journaling

I love journaling. I love taking a blank page and making it the holder of my thoughts. I am not the type to sit down and write page after page about my feelings, I just do not have it in me. I read this blog post yesterday and I realized I liked her way of journaling. I thought it would be cool to try it.  She has no real rules when it comes to her journal and I like that.  In her blog post, she breaks down journaling into many different levels and you can chose where you want to start. I got a new journal yesterday (see photo above) at lunch that was on sale, but I can already tell you that I do not like it :( I have always loved Moleskins and I knew I should have waited to buy a new one.  I know that I am going to end up getting a new Moleskin and I will use this journal as my sewing journal.

♥You need a journal that you love because that will make you love journaling.
♥You need a good pen.
♥You need to set aside time everyday to journal.
♥You need to remember this is your journal and you can use it anyway, you like.
♥You MIGHT want a nice beverage.
♥You MIGHT want a good playlist.

This is my new journey into journaling and I super excited. I will still art journal every week and share my pages on my blog, but I also need a little more that art journaling does not give me.

Try this! If you like, moleskins and need a journal cover, then you should try this tutorial from Eileen Josephine blog.

I've been trying to get back in to writing in my journal. It's fun to look back on my old ones and this inspires me to start writing in the journals I've had laying around forever.

I think I just clicked on every link. I love Chelsea's playlist & I really love Moleskines the best! Also, a good beverage is always handy! I can't wait to see your pages!

I keep wanting to start one but it never happens:( I think I will live forever because I will keep postponing my death too lol.

Moleys are my favorite too. They just make me want to write.

Also, if you're a ballpoint pen user, I recommend uniball Power Tank retractable pens. They write like butter. :)
