My Corner of the Internet
It has been one month since I started using my Hobonichi Avec and I am OBSESSED. I have literally been counting down the days until I could make this video and now it’s here so please enjoy!
I am looking forward to seeing how the book will be when it’s all filled out and I am excited to pick up a Hobonichi for next year as well! I haven’t been excited about planning since I first discovered sticker planning so no regrets!
I was debating getting a Hobonichi for a while and when I saw they were releasing a half-year version I decided to bite the bullet and get one!
I am so excited to try out a new journalling style, I started getting back into writing a journal a few years ago and I think it would be good to try and get into the habbit of daily journalling. Currently, I only write once a week, if even, but I want to try journalling more often and what better way to do that than having a page-a-day journal?
I also like the way the Hobonichi has a weekly and monthly layout because it means I can incorporate some of my sticker planning which I got into a few years ago. I think having it all in one notebook will be handy and also hopefully force me to keep on top of everything.
So we’ll see how it goes, will probably do an update video later in the year on how I’m finding it and what I plan to do next year but for now, I’ll be waiting until July so I can finally start using it lol
I have started doing a little bit of junk journaling in my regular journal. I tried to do this before in previous years’ journals but it always felt like such a chore. But this year? Something has unlocked in my brain and I am finding it fun. Not sure what has changed between the past and now, but I have been enjoying adding some creativity to my journal.
So, what is junk journaling? It’s a kind of scrapbooking where you just use junk. Did you go shopping today? Do you have a receipt or a shopping bag? Perfect, if you stick it in a notebook, then you are on your way to junk journaling.
My junk journaling isn’t the traditional sense of junk journaling because I don’t really use junk. But I suppose I haven’t really been doing things where I have accumulated “junk”. Junk doesn’t necessarily mean rubbish; it can be anything you have from that day that you think would fit in your journal. I mostly print photos from my phone and then use decorative stickers and things to pad out my pages.
