This is an in-depth look at my latest Writer's Journal. This was created specifically for avid journal writers. I've been journaling 60 years, every day. So I really appreciate beautiful, strong writing paper. With that said, you'll find top quality 32 pound Premium HP paper in both lined and graph style. Your gel pen ink will not show through!
This doesn't truly feel like a traditional 'JUNK JOURNAL'.... while I enjoy the look of junk pages...I feel serious about my writing, and really want high quality paper to write on.
I lost count of all the tags and journaling spots...even the few 'mini journals'!
You'll find FOUR SEASONAL JOURNALS...each with 40 pages...really nice paper for writing on.
You'll find a FULL FOURTEEN two-page spreads!
This HUGE, THICK, journaling book took about 80 hours during the last four weeks. Kinda like the Winchester Mystery house! Every time I neared 'completion' I'd get another inspiration and make more tags and mini journals.
The papers? you'll recognize the Little Women scrapbook papers as well as the Seasonal papers. The other papers I designed myself.
So the following photos will take you on the journey....
.... This is the front cover and tie.... The flower appliqué will lift off when you untie the lace ribbon closure.
....Chock full of laces, dangling off the bottom. Book is 4" thick at the spine, and stretches to more than 5" on the open side. The Tie will keep this in check.
