In progress today:
three mini journals in the top row — all paired with handmade envelopes and awaiting handwritten notes — almost ready to be mailed out,
the beginnings of a set of nested envelopes — one fits inside another, which fits inside another and so on — not entirely sure what I’ll do with these, and
two new mini journals to be completed and given away.
What are you up to?
This mini journal was made, in part, with prompts from my How Was Your Day printable journal page. Hmm, what to do with it now ...
It’s finished! A new mini journal made with hand painted paper and printed prompts from my 10 Minutes to Let Your Mind Wander journal pages and a few others from my archives. I’ve put together a short video to show you how many prompts I’ve managed to fit into this journal.
Later today, I’ll be posting it somewhere in my shop as part of my giveaway series.
New mini journal in progress using prompts from my 10 Minutes to Let Your Mind Wander pages and a few others from my archives. Such fun!
These little journals were such fun to make. The paper is hand painted and I made sure to fill every fold with prompts, even in spots you can’t see at first glance!
I’ve hidden them somewhere among the listings in my shop. Can you find them?
Update, July 4, 2019: Thank you so much to everyone who commented for sharing your replies to my journal prompt. I’m thrilled to announce that I’ll be sending out a secret package to Crystal. I’ll be in touch by email within the next day or so to obtain mailing instructions. Thanks again, so much, for journaling with me. :)
Remember that envelope journal I made yesterday? I’ve decided to fill each of its ten tiny envelopes with a journal prompt and give it away. If you’re interested in receiving a little package from me, leave a comment in reply to the journal prompt below. On Tuesday, July 2nd, at 3:00 pm EDT, I’ll choose one comment at random, announce it here on the blog, and follow up with an email to obtain mailing instructions.
Here’s your prompt, one of my all-time favourites: One little thing about your day today that means a lot.
I’ve been feeling the itch to make something new. Something fun and journal-related. Something with pretty paper.
When I pulled out my paper stash, my mini envelope templates were right on top. It got me to thinking . . . How about a journal made of envelopes?
I chose several sheets of pretty paper and my 2.5”x2” envelope template and started tracing.
And cutting.
And folding.
And sewing.
I figured out the binding pattern as I went along, which explains the big stitch right at the top. If anyone asks, I totally meant for that to be there. It’s decorative.
Here’s the finished binding:
And the finished journal, from a bunch of different perspectives:
There are ten envelopes in total. I just need to decide how to fill each one. Any ideas?
