Make Your Journal Yours

Shelby showed a lot of her knowledge and skills in this course. Loved seeing her previous journals, and she gave great examples of theme ideas as well as how to plan and execute other elements, like colours and layouts. She was very helpful in types of journals that are available and most of all to remind us that our choices can be flexible, malleable and lovely all in the same journal!

Great ideas for simple but striking spreads

Met my expectations. A little bit chatty but I am fine with that style. Would have liked a broader set of things to include beyond events and dopamine log/gratitude journal. Tracker was mentioned but how to use for different types of habits would be usegul.
