I bought a journal quite awhile back. In fact, my first entry was 6/28/2009. I now have exactly six pages written in. My intentions were very good. I was going to make a steady habit of writing my thoughts and feelings down and also keep some fun memories alive. At my age, I am already forgetting details that I thought I would always remember!
It's not that I don't have lots of thoughts and important events to write about - I do! I just haven't been inspired to pick up my journal.
I decided that maybe it is because my journal cover isn't very inspiring:
It's just black....kind of depressing. I have some crafty friends that have made some great journals using mixed media art. Those journals - I would pick up and use. I just know it. Since I am crafty myself and have been dabbling in mixed media, I thought why not give my journal a makeover?
So, that is exactly what I am going to set out to do. I don't have an exact plan yet so any input would be greatly appreciated! :)
If it happens to turn out wonderful, I will do a tutorial on my craft website. If not, well at least I will show my results here....and then maybe buy a new journal!
