Journals
I love journals! I have a bullet journal, a reading journal, a goal journal, a wreck this journal, and probably another one that I'm forgetting. These are some of the journals I love.
This journal is so pretty! I'm using it for my reading journal this year and I am loving it. Pencil erases easily from the pages, which is nice because I like to pencil things in before I use my pens or markers. I also haven't noticed any ghosting. T...

Wreck This Journal (Duct Tape) Expanded Edition
I'm used to journals having white or cream paper, so when I saw this journal I knew I had to have it. The pages are beautiful. I use this as a goal journal and I like using the illustrations on the page in my page designs as I track my goals. (Affili...

Stickers
Yes, I'm 42 years old, but I still love stickers. They make it so easy to spruce things up. Lately, I've been using them a lot in all of my journals. These are some of the ones I've been using.
The stickers are organized by month, so it's easy to open to August and find a bunch of stickers that are seasonally appropriate for August. FYI, the cover started to come off of mine, but that didn't bother me because it's not really affecting the s...
