Decorating My Current Journal
Since starting my latest journal, I’ve been struggling with using it. It’s wider than the last couple of journals I’ve used, and I hate (not really but you know) writing in it. And the one after this one is the same size, so I’m trying to figure out a way to power through using them.
I don’t like to just fill notebooks up random stuff. To me, that’s just a waste. I like my decorations and graffiti to mean something to me.
So what have I come up with?
Does anyone remember the Pieces of Flair app from Facebook? I had soooooo many pins. And being the weird person that I am, at one point I was saving them on my computer. Well, I’m glad I did.
I can no longer access them on Facebook, don’t know about anyone else, and so I dug around on my flash drives to find them.
I decided to do was take my calligraphy pens and hand write all the Pieces of Flair on the right pages of my journal.
I had 300 pieces of flair. That’s a lot of writing. It took me four days to complete it and I was so glad when it was done.
Why the right page? I say of journal challenge somewhere where it challenged you to write only on one side of the page. I decided to do that with my current journal. I will most likely do that with my next journal. I filled in 33 pages with FLAIR writing and got through all my pieces.

I love that! I am so not creative and so jealous of people who are! I love how you wrote around the outside edges of the right side!

Love this and you are the most patient person ever to take four days and do it! I would want it done so bad, but don’t think I would be as patient!!

I’ll be honest. It was a long three days. I almost quit by the 2nd evening, but realized I didn’t have many more to go.

nice work! My journal looks like it was written by a mad scientist!
Nov 24, 2015 @ 09:17:13
Haha! If that works for you, keep writing like a mad scientist!

Well done for persevering! What’s flair? Looks great.

Pieces of Flair is an old app from Facebook many years ago. When it started to become difficult to get back to my Flair boards, I saved all my Flair as images/pictures on my computer.

Calligraphy is hard work! My hat is off to you, it’s lovely flair.
Nov 24, 2015 @ 09:18:58
Thanks! I can’t do really calligraphy, but I love writing with the pens.
Nov 24, 2015 @ 06:41:23
Love it! It looks awesome. You did great job, thanks for sharing.
Nov 24, 2015 @ 09:19:08
Thank you!

I don’t remember flair! But this looks awesome! I will have to go and see if I can figure out what that is.
Nov 24, 2015 @ 09:19:36
I think you can search it on Facebook.

I love seeing how other people decorate their planners and journals! Yours is beautiful!

I love decorating my journal with stickers, post-its and taping physical things I’m talking about in the journal such as ticket stubs, dry flowers, etc.

Certain physical items I like to tape in as well, like ticket stubs, but we haven’t been to the movies in a long time. Thanks for stopping by.
