I need one
Just like my growing collection of old books, I also love journals. I am a journal junkie. I used to try to keep separate ones…work, craft, garden, personal, etc, plus a calendar. No more.
For the past few years I have just done it all in one. My ideal is about 4×7 with over 100 lined pages. I paste in some library card pockets, a calendar and a few sudoku and we are good to go. I go through about 5 a year.
I know, way too much info. The pic above is from a website called ex libris anonymous. Perfecto! They turn old book covers into journals. I had seen these a while back and just re-found the site.
I am really thinking I need to get myself a birthday gift…after all I turn 35 on Thursday.

Not to rain on Ex Libris’s parade, but I just got a book spiral-bound at Kinko’s for less than $5. I bet if you found a neat book at a thrift store, they could make you a similar journal for not much more. . .
I love your idea of pasting in library card pockets and sudoku!

I did something similar this year and it has really come in handy. I should have purchased a smaller size, though, because it barely fits in my purse. Happy early birthday!

I love that idea! I’m a journal junkie myself.
