Don’t Miss Tools with Heart Sale

Tools with Heart are doing it, again. They have a massive 50% off some of their products, including journals. I’d love to get my hands on one of those little suede sketch journal and pencil sets or the mini one. Those look really useful. There are some lovely journals, too. Worth a look.

If you are a regular journal writer I’m sure you must have a personal essay or a memoir piece you can polish up and submit. There are loads of other categories, though, so don’t stop there. I’m sure you […]

Using Symbols in Your Journal

Sometimes I use symbols in my journal rather than full words. There are times I might do this because the symbol represents something I just don’t want anyone else to understand. Or I just use the symbol as some kind of short hand to save me writing a commonly used word over and over. Using […]

I Want More, Please!

I’ve been searching online recently for good images to use for my collages, but I’m after ones that are free of all copyright restrictions. I know I can purchase some of these from scrapbook stores, but I’m after images I don’t have to pay for. I want free ones. I did find a Flickr group […]
