New Year, New Bullet Journal

Okay, so this new Bullet Jounral blog might be a tad bit late. I've upgrading to a higher quality journal in 2021 since the two I used last started to pull apart. I decided to go with the Archer and Olive dotted A5 notebook. The one I chose (cover not pictures) is from their Halloween collection and it has cute little bats on the cover. I love it; the pages are 160gsm thick enough for paint! Here's a little walk through of my beginning bullet journal pages.

Goals and (blank) Vision Board


Future Log (6 months)
I printed out these mini calendars and glued them in so I didn't have to write out the individual numbers. I've done that before and it's so tedious and I *always* make a mistake.



Bill Tracker and Check This Out (Movies/Shows and Music)


Places to Visit
This is more of a wish list of places I want to go.

Vinyl Want List
I've been using this spread for a few years now and it's incredibly handy when waiting for months long preorders. It's also a great reference for online retailer sales.

2021 Movies
Last year I tracked all the movies I watched, but it took up too much room in my bullet journal and was too much to sift through for my end of the year top 10 list. Instead I'm just going to track 2021 releases I watch. I miss movie theatres! Hope to get to have a real movie experience soon!

Christmas Craftiness 2011

I wanted to wait until after Christmas to post what I've made/purchased for the amazing people in my life. I just love the gift tags made from tag rims and scrapbook paper. I used stick on letters for some of the names and I hand wrote the others. Then, I "laminated" them with packaging tape. All the gentlemen in my family are extremely gifted. They either draw or write and they all have creative tendencies (I guess it's in the genes!). I put together mini sketchbooks for them so they can be creative while they are out and about. I used those ever so handy rub-on letters to spell out the words: idea, draw, notes, sketch, and create on the covers (which is just painted cardboard). For the ladies, I assembled these adorable button brooches and hairpins. Cute! As far as bought gifts go, I went the Fair Trade route. I wanted to give gifts that were either hand made or impacted the rest of the world in some way. I stumbled upon STOP Start Cam

December 2020 Bullet Journal Spreads

Image
Hello December! I don't know about you, but I'm excited to start the last month of 2020. It's been a tough year for everyone and we've finally made it. I don't typically get super into Christmas, but after how hard the past 10 months have been I've decided to make the little things count. I've decked the halls and hung the stockings. Doing anything I can to make it a season full of sweet memories! With that mindset, I decided to make a scrapbook style bullet journal theme. I'd never done a theme using scrap paper before so this was quite a different experience. Without further ado... Overall, this was a fun theme to make and I think it turned out pretty well for a first attempt. I especially love the "Christmas Memories" page to record special moments with the ones I love. I'll be posting a 2021 Bullet Journal set up soon. I'm so excited to show off my new notebook! Be on the look out for that in the next few weeks.

Mother's Day Appreciation

Recently, I was sent this beautiful message from my brother thanking me for the influence and impact I've had on him. It inspired me to think about the women that have a great influence on me as well. To my mother, To transcribe the influence you've had on me would be impossible. I'm incredibly grateful for your love, guidance, and wisdom. You've encouraged me to form my own opinions even if they're in direct contradictions to your own. You've taught me that gentleness and kindness is a strength, not a weakness. From you, I've learned to be grateful for the little things. Thank you for all the pep talks, advice, and weekend trips. Your influence is a huge part of the woman I am today. I strive to be as warm and nurturing as you. I love you, mom! To Jennifer,  You've been an immeasurable impact in my personal and work life. Thank you for seeing my potential and encouraging my talents. Thank you for all the opportunities for growth
