These are my new journals for the start of the year. The blue one is for morning pages and occasional writing. It has dotted pages, so I can write both ways, vertically or horizontally depending on my mood.
The small one is for art journaling, I love to create in tiny journals! I finished its cover this weekend and organized the first pages.
I had in mind my word and colour of the year when setting them up: Expansion and blue!
I added my own stickers on the cover to personalize it. I only kept the message on the bottom, it goes well with my journaling intention.
I still need to work on my gratitude journal. I have a few pages left in the one I’m using now, so I’ll keep going until I have time to set up the new one.

Beautiful journals and great word for the year – expansion – and beautiful color. I started my first art journal this year, love it but my main journal is morning pages, I use a plain notebook for that. Thank you. xo

I’ve realized that the art journal complements the morning pages one. Thanks!

I did buy a new journal for this year to tempt me into it, but I don’t like it! I’ve signed up for Michelles journal prompts and will make a start on them when I find a journal I like!¬

Oh no! Hope you find the perfect one, I know how difficult it is to find a journal that you feel good with it. It’s there we will write our precious thoughts, so it need to be a lovely one!

I was cruising wordpress looking for journal prompts. My journaling has taken off like crazy since mid-december and I want a bit more structure than just the daily X, Y and Z…

What beautiful journals! They would make me want to sit down and write! I don’t do art journals, but I occasionally add an ‘arty’ page in my regular journal when the mood strikes me. Great quote on the cover too!
Have a great week! xoxo
