Calender Journal

Hello and welcome to my new blog for journalling. Journalling is something I have wanted to do for some time. However, after seeing every ones I thought this was way beyond little ol' me :0) but January came and with that lots of journalling calenders began to appear. I am going to share my 'Journalling Journey' with you I am an absolute beginner. I will not only be doing calender journals but others to I hope you will join me and if there are lots of experienced journal book people out there, please feel free to share a comment or two :0) and maybe some links that you may feel we beginners may benefit from. So here goes nothing, my pages from Jan-April 2011.







So we are now up to date with my calender journals. And these are my first attempts. I hope to show May's soon with April full and not blank as it is now. Why not get started with journalling it really is fun. Love Dawn xx

Dawn,
Love the calendar pages. Will love to follow your Blog on journaling. I keep an art journal and a writing journal. I use a Moleskin for the writing. Do you know they have a Moleskin with watercolor paper that would be great for an art journal?

Sources:
Pam Carriker at "The Speed of lIfe" has a section on making a handmade journal from a large sheet of watercolor paper.
Sue Bleiweiss: great book maker

Art Journaling Books:
