I am obsessed with journals, but sometimes I don’t know what to do with all the blank journals I have on hand. I love being able to grab a new one and use it for a project, class, or conference. I love to fill the pages with dreams, thoughts, and creative ideas. I especially love to look back later to read what I had written before and find that I have in fact had some growth in life. Phew!
I thought that maybe others would also like to have a few ideas what they could do with a blank journal. Before you purchase for yourself or others, sometimes it is nice to have a plan for them. I can pick them up just because I like the cover, but not many people are like me… maybe that’s a good thing.
