Today and from now on… Im going to take some time to put more of myself out there through sharing a lot more of myself on here. I have the least followers in here and to be honest that is ok.
I live to learn. I love to read and journal all the time. I have a chronic book 📚 addiction.
In an effort to niche down and find my target audiences i gave found myself not really telling my story as best as I can. There is something about writing ✍🏼 especially in something as marvelous aa a paperblanks journal 📓 that helps me to express myself fully within these pages.
This is important because it helps me stay creative, review my principles and goals, and to come back to my why or rational for making strategic decisions.
P.S. This is Chance…hes a studio cat and I love ❤️ him
I'm so in love with your fairy journal, and I've been meaning to ask: what size is it? I think Paperblanks journals are so beautiful but I have a difficult time picturing the different sizes. Their website lists the measurements but doesn't offer any comparisons of the journals with people.
The size of the green one I have is "ultra" but I also have a purple one in "midi" and I prefer it so much more! Ultra feels too big and serious for me that I haven't written in it yet, whereas midi is like a pocket book which I can fit in my bag.
I'll post two photos I have of them so you can see but will take a side by side comparison when I'm home next weekend!
09.01.2023 - My new reading journal FINALLY turned up (just the 9 days late...)
I'm trying Paperblanks this year because they're a bit smaller than my normal Peter Pauper Press journals - so far I really love them! I'm using the Marble Twine midi for my main journal (the distressed cream book with green and gold embossing). However, I bought the Sir Thomas More speech mini journal to track my Shakespeare reading project. It's absolutely TINY but I adore it!
I've also ended up with a Dante journal by accident - I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it but God is it gorgeous (the image doesn't do it justice, the whole cover is slightly metallic and feels amazing).
So far I'm really impressed with Paperblanks, I was nervous to switch but I really wanted something pretty but more functional for my lifestyle. I read on the go A LOT and having the flexibility to chuck my journals into a bag without taking up a lot of space. These journals are stunning, have decent paper quality, and the size is working well for me - I do think they're expensive for what they are (£12-13 for a mini and £15-17 for a midi) but I don't mind. I'm very happy so far - but I need to use these for a bit longer to know if this will be a permanent swap after 2023.
