About a month ago, I found this project on Pinterest, and I knew I had to make one. I used to journal all the time, but as time goes on, writing in one gets harder and harder. So the idea of a perpetual journal was very appealing.
I gathered my supplies from Walmart, Michael's, and Staples.
Of course, you don't need the stamps and ink. I just found that idea on one of the tutorials I read and thought it was cool. :) Most of the tutorials use a recipe box instead of a wooden one like this, but I couldn't find a recipe box. So, this cute little wooden one from Michael's did the trick.
One pink card for my birthday. :) I decided not to separate the months. Instead, I'll be putting the day in the back of the box after it's been filled out. I like the continuity of that a bit better.
I love these little boxes, but I'm so bad at decorating them. It usually looks like a 5 year old did it. I wish the bit with the stamp had turned out better, but I do like the glitter glue. I still might change it up later on with some paint. :)
Do you keep a journal? How do you do it?
