    I always call it an art journal as I see them as a work of art, regardless of what's used to create it.

    Wow!! I have never heard of these journals before. I have so many memorabilia from my travels and adventures through the years. My ex made me delete my FB last year and it held so many memories. I think I will work on this as a way of mending and recovering from the controlling abuse from my ex.

      Analog, handwritten letters, calenders, journals, will and have emerged in a big way. Tech/phone option apps are more of a hassle personally. It keeps me more focused and slows my mind to a manageable schedule. Plus it sparks our creative part of our 🧠 that have been ignored.

Always entertaining and new things in them to discover!! Thank you Tracie!!!

    Thanks for sharing Tracie. It was a pleasure to watch. I did a double take when you showed the old invoices as I used to work for John Dickinson & Co. (a leading English stationery company) in Nottingham, England before leaving for Belgium over 50 years ago now!! John Dickinson himself invented a continuous mechanised papermaking process. He also invented a new kind of paper for cannon cartridges, a type of paper that did not smoulder after the cannon had fired!!! 😄😂

    what a fabulous tour of journal making from start to finish. Even though I have made a journal or two I watched every minute of this to make sure I was following the correct way to proceed. I like the idea of making sure that you don't mix up the page order as you decorate - by simply removing a page and turning the others sideways to indicate where it goes back in. Great job as always.
