Journals—present and future. I’ve been taking

Journals—present and future.

I’ve been taking stock of my journaling lately, and it’s looking a lot different from how it used to be three years ago. I’ve been writing a whole lot more and doing less of the artsy-crafty part, which is totally fine. My documenting flows in phases, and this one has been all about the words.

But every so often, I’ve had the nagging pull to be more creative—to go back to my art journaling roots and even my scrapbooking roots. And the feeling would just nag and nag at me, but I haven’t been acting on it at all. I “try” but don’t actually follow through. And with all of the things I want to do swirling around in my head, I become so overwhelmed over all of the different journals I’m keeping (and trying to keep), that I fall stagnant and do not a damn thing.

I think I'm in that phase right now. I've been keeping up with my journals alright, but I have so many ideas for future journals that I want to get to right now, but I haven't even started on any of them. Then when I take stock of it all, I get so overwhelmed! Journaling shouldn't feel overwhelming lol. And I honestly just think it all boils down to the fact that I don't have enough time to do all the things in my day—and I always want to do ALL THE THINGS!

Does anyone else get like this?

Anyway, here are my journals—some are in progress and some I'm just setting up to use for next year! And there are others I still want to make.

And honestly, I kind of can't wait to start the new ones. I'm a mess. 😆

Books 9/10: Cartwheel in the Quiet: A Tapestry of Things Found + Felt by Emily Looman

I have a pile of art books that I haven't read yet, and I keep buying more. A lot of the time, I want them just to look through them, not actually read them, but I'm challenging myself to start reading them! They are amazing sources of inspiration, and honestly, it helps me get ideas of my own. I finished @quietnoticing's book the other day. I read it on a long train ride, and what a beautiful book! I absolutely love her art, and her Polaroid photos are simply stunning. I love the way the visuals helped tell her story.

Tissue paper works the same way as napkins! I love good packaging. I bought some earrings, and the package was wrapped in this beautiful tissue paper that I needed to use everywhere in my journal! xx

One of my favorite things to do is to use decorative napkins to decoupage into my journals. They give a painterly effect to my pages. I shared a quick "how-to" over on my YouTube channel, if you're curious. Happy Friday. x
