hey yall!
I decided to take my doodling and love for schedules to the next level. I have officially started a bullet journal!
I figured you could just buy any old journal, but no. You need all the things. Especially if you’re weird like me. I needed the pages to be numbered, every page dotted so I could write straight, and it had to be big enough that I can actually write in my journal. That is probably my biggest pet peeve about journaling. You want to fit so much on each page and journals are so tiny. I’d rather use a huge dry erase board or something. But that’s not as pretty or fun. Plus you have to erase it, and that would just break my heart.
Anyway, I bought this journal, and it’s huge. It looks like one of those portfolio folders artists have, but not quite so massive. I was very excited. I just didn’t tell my husband how much it cost. But he also just bought a box of like 10 fidget spinners, so I think we are even. The journal I got is called leuchtturm1917 A4. Most bullet journals I saw online were an A5 size, but I had just ordered a journal that was WAY too small and may have gone a little overboard with the size. BUT I LOVE IT!!!!
This is it....

I added the G myself, for my last name. And so it wasn’t super boring. There was also a bunch of different color journals you could get. But if you are really serious about journaling this is the brand I would recommend. The paper doesn’t bleed, pages are numbered, pages dotted, and it has a pocket. Anything with a pocket makes me happy. #dresseswithpockets
So right when I took it out of the box I I wanted to draw or write something, but I didn’t have a great idea. So, I decided to just make a title page so see how everything writes and looks and feels. This is what I came up with.
Very simple, but a fun way to start journalling. Now I am going to spend hours getting my calendar and weekly plans all spaced out and looking fabulous. I'm so excited!! Look out for my next post about Bullet journaling, coming soon.
