All About My Journals!

Hi all! I decided to do the "All About My Journals" tag that's been going around on YouTube. The tag was started by the lovely journaltree - please watch her video here. This was kind of fun and interesting, and hopefully I don't look like too much of a dork. :) I've added the questions down below as well. 

Questions:
1. How many journals do you own?
2. When did you start keeping a journal?
3. How do you date your entries?
4. How many different types of journals do you currently use?
5. Do you have a favorite journal brand?
6. Do you ever write outside or take your journal with you?
7. Do you keep an online journal?
8. How often do you journal?
9. Do you record your dreams? And if so, how?
10.Do you prefer to write on lined pages?
11. Do you ever censor yourself?
12. Do you ever name your journals?
13. If you have a reason, explain why you started journaling.
14. If you've been writing a long time, how has your style changed?

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day!

Journal #13 Flip Through

As promised, here's a flip through of my recently completed 13th journal. It's sort of like the Hobonichi style that's all the rage right now, but my own version. I've been keeping these books for several years now, and I really enjoy it. 

I got a new video camera, plus I'm relatively new to recording videos, so please forgive the weird angle and crappy lighting. I wish I'd zoomed in a bit more too, because it's tough to see the details. I'll get better, I promise! Thanks for watching, and please subscribe if you're interested in seeing more. Have a great weekend!

Lucky #13

I finished the 13th volume of my daily journal last night! This book is a Canson Mixed Media spiral bound book measuring about 7x10 inches. I really enjoyed it - the paper was thick and had a nice tooth. It took water soluble media reasonably well, and colored pencil, ink and marker were perfect. I've been working on this book since late February, so it lasted me a good long time.

I'm planning to record a flip video very soon (my camera is charging now!), so keep an eye out!
