Just Add Stickers

Last year I read 15 books and listened to 45 audiobooks. I kept track of my reads in my Happy Planner. This year I decided to make my own reading journal and of course Little Miss wanted to make one as well.  We chose two blank notebooks. I chose a hard cover notebook that I got for my birthday. Little Miss chose a black and white floral notebook. We chose these three colours of vinyl to print out stickers and labels for our journals.  Along with my vinyl cricut stickers and labels I used old book pages as accents. This is the opening page of my reading journal. Some other pages that I added were: to be read, wish list, books read. One of my favorite pages has the quote "my weekend is booked" surrounded by book shelves with months under each one.

They were the years when Little Man started school and Little Miss was born. I often thought about ideas that I could blog but as the time passed it seemed like too much to start up again. But the right time came in 2020. In this past year I posted at least once a month, which I hadn't done since 2014.  I never would have thought that I would still be blogging here after 10 years but I am so proud that I stuck with it.
