This month I have discovered MollieMakes.com, another of thise awesome sites in Great Britain related to making things. Right up my alley! There is a published magazine devoted to everything from painting to sewing, and (wait for it!) journaling! So of course I subscribed immediarely. Digital subscriptions are offered but I asked for a hard copy.

There was a free downloadable issue and I was fascinated by several articles. There is an article by Kristi Prokopiak that caught my eye, just with the title alone, which is “Why I Journal.” She says, “Currently my scrapbooks are all about holding space for myself. Creating a container for my hopes and dreams as well as my pain.” Kristi is on Instagram @ritualscrapbooks.

More from the issue:

“The difference between a diary and a journal is that a diary records your reactions to the daily happenings in your life. A journal also includes the things that interest and inspire you, while also giving you space to grow creatively.”

Find a style of journal that works for you.

Quick Make

• I made a short video about making quick little journals for specific occasions and gifts. I made these with invitation (A6) size envelopes and I really like how easy they are to make. I hope you will find it interesting.

• I have just uploaded another pdf in the downloadable products. There are 9 pages of old book pages. There are three each in German, French and Spanish for great background pages.

• The next drawing for items to add to your stash will happen on April 7. If you are not yet a subscriber, be sure to sign up to be included in all our drawings. And tell all your friends!
