The Start of Something

April 27, 2018 ~ lottydawson

I’ve decided to start a bullet journal.

May is looming and I thought it would be nice to document life in full colour and style. I finally found a dotted note book at paperchase. It’s not an overly girly cover which I love and had plenty of pages for customising.

I’ve made a start on my first page. I feel like I’m a bit late to the game, but I make the rules here so May is a good time to start. I intend to have a full year calendar, a key and a few tracker pages.

I’m a little rusty on all things creative, but apart from an occasional picture on here, I don’t intend to share my doodles to often. It seems to be a better way to take up time that watching the general crap they put on TV at evening and weekends. I may even put in a blog post planner too. I know I am eager to see where this goes. Let my creativity roam and take some form on paper rather than a mulch of colour in my head. Who knows it might end up being good therapy.

Do you journal or bullet journal?

Xoxo, L.

Very nice indeed. It’s never too late to start a journal, and yours is very pretty. I’ve kept a diary, journals, etc… since I was 9-years-old.

  It’s majorly good therapy. I’ve always kept a diary, but thought I’d mix it up and have a doodle. Thank you for reading 😊 x

Ooooh I love it! I tried bullet journaling and I’m way to type A to keep up with it. It drove me mad that my writing was always slanted lol. I love using guided journals myself!

  I’m hoping I get on with this. I don’t find there is enough room in a guided one, and that’s one I got was hugely expensive. They’re soooo pretty thought. Stationery mad 😍😍 I love it. Paperchase is like kryptonite 😂 xx
