Journaling book number 1!!!

Sometimes all we need is just one journal. One place to store our imagination, ideas and affirmations.

I have separate journals for songs, thoughts, notes, creative ideas, sketches and so figured it would be so much easier narrowing my ideas into one place. I won't however put my To do lists or Planning ideas in this journal but instead put affirmations, photos, paintings, drawings, postcards and anything inspirational to look back on with reference to.

So Inspired by one of my close friends Hanna's personal Journal, I decided it was time to get a journal which could house all my ideas and thoughts. Me being me i had to make & Create it ! So i went to my local charity shop and found 3 books roughly size A5 and pulled out the Text inside to hopeful reuse someday.

Along with a bunch of old papers, envelopes and recycled packaging i have been storing i gathered and cut them into the correct shape to fit the books and made curved edges.

 I took 6 piles of A4 pages and stitched down the middle, making lots of mini booklets.
Then i hand booked-stiched the mini piles into one massive pile. Check out this LINK which
I used to help me understand this process. Also this Link has a serious detailed explanation check it here . Ohhh and one last thing this Amazing Lady at Full Tilt inspired me too See here - her courses look amazing.

 "Walllllaaahhhh" Happy me and a few finishing touches!
One thing i must say help is always at hand online when venturing into a projects without a clue where to start, super grateful... I noticed that the world of binding books is an art form in itself- so i have a new found deep level of respect to that world, Amazing!! Love xSx
