Getting Your Journal ON!!

It's time to start thinking about what you'd like to use for your journals!! Remember, you can use WHATEVER you'd like. Get creative!! Don't stress out too much about what is and isn't "OK" to use. To begin, is half the battle. Here are a few ideas of what you can use...
Canvas Albums

Handmade! (instructions here)

Moleskine

Everyday Spiral Binders

Flashcards

Very old books

This year, I'll be using old playing cards and housing them in a thrifted recipe box. I plan to decorate the outside of the box.

Something to think about when you're deciding what YOU will use is size. I find a huge advantage to using something as small as a playing card to create. There's much less room to fill, and when time crunches me, I feel like I can fit a lot into a little space. You choose what you think will work.
OR
Play it by ear!! There's no rule that says all your pages have to be the same size. No rule that says they have to be bound together (now OR later) So get busy!! Start thinking! We'll be sharing the first prompt on the 15th.
