I so enjoy seeing this come together. I don't know if I'll ever do it myself. I keep notebooks with everything. More like a commonplace notebook. This is inspiring. ✨💜
Oh I love this series. (And that wind chime in the background!!) I have owned every style of BOS imaginable. None worked for me until I hit on the index method. I 've always wanted to create one like yours, with dyed pages, kind of a junk journal style, but even this beauty you've created doesn't solve the problem of a limited amount of space to add a specific topic. What if 5 years from now you discover 3 more herbs that need space? Anyway, loved this video!
Much as I love the witchy, leather-bound books of shadows and grimoires, I settled very early on, on ring binders. I have a collection of 8 or so small ones, each is for a particular theme (poetry, planetary magic, herbs, deities, class notes etc.) and I can easily add to and rearrange them without any tears. I started with just two or three, and as my practice has grown, so have the binders, and the number of binders, and the granularity of the sorting of their contents. I do the same level of decoration as you do - enough to not make me feel pressure - so it doesn't look so much like a school notebook, but for me the main point is that the information be accessible, easily added to, and easily rearranged.
I do ring binders as well because I am a bit of a perfectionist. I made fo leather on my binder though with tissue paper, ink and mod podge. (Note my binders do not have slots on inside. They are just plain and solid on inside and out)
