I get the majority of my journaling/crafting things from Amazon, Michaels, Hobby Lobby, local craft stores - same places we all do :) Everything I'm currently using is here! Highly recommend Archer + Olive journals for people who love crisp, thick pa...<3

I got this in A5 (192 pages) with the dotted pages to use for a bullet journal for my therapy notes and little brain dumps. I really like this, it makes journaling for this purpose even more fun. A creative and written way to express yourself :)

I use this for my junk/tracker journal and it's so perfect for that in my opinion. It expands as you add stuff to it and by the end of the year, it's busting at the seams. Really love these!

Love this little bundle! I've always had some form of a printer, this one works really well. You have to adjust the print setting to get the color right, but that's in the setup I believe.

A must-have for the printer! Buy in bulk when you can, you'll eat through them faster than you think. I'm always printing pictures for my journals and crafts.

This is honestly great for crafts and/or if you WFH. I use this all the time when I'm on the couch doing my journals or on the computer.

Really great water-based highlighters. Keep in mind you might see some bleed depending on the thickness on of your paper. In my A+O journal they do not bleed, however, in the other journal I have linked there is *some* bleeding at times. I typically ...

Do yourself a favor and just get the big pack out the gate. I've gone through a few of these soooo fast, they're great for gluing things down really quick. i've never had an issue with anything coming up!

This might sound crazy, but I prefer this over my metal ruler most days. I love how flexible it is, it allows you to really get in different corners easily.

These are great for adding little details on your doodles! I would recommend letting them dry for a few seconds before you turn the page or write over them, they do tend to need some time. But overall, can't go wrong with uniball.

These have been my favorite pens since my waitressing days and they are the #1 pen I recommend to everyone who doesn't ask! Great for journaling or every day if you're in to this kind of pen. I also LOVE the pink ones!

I do love using this when I'm doing lines, but as mentioned I typically reach for the other ruler most days. I do like this because I feel like I can get more of a straight line sometimes, however, depending on the design of the tip you're drawing wi...

Keep in mind these are ALCOHOL based, so they typically bleed through standard paper. I can't speak to all of their packaging, but this came with color swatches and a page protector for whatever you're working on!

Also got this pack at the store! I've used it a lot more than I thought I would. I've been putting some of them in the spine between two pages sometimes to spice things up

It doesn't have to be this brand, but you're gonna want one of these. There's another one linked on Amazon if you want to get stuff from there, but honestly I found one for $2.99 in the checkout line and it works just fine

My husband got me this so we don't have to have the overhead on at night and I honestly really like it. I wish the battery lasted a little longer, but it's not a deal breaker. Eventually I'll replace it, but this is a good one!
