One Small Step Toward Journaling Success


I am really bad at journaling on my scrapbook pages. I always leave a very intentional spot for it, however I have a "what if I spell something wrong, and my handwriting stinks, and I do not know what to say" issue.

I am really trying to change my ways and after finding a fabulous deal on a 12 pack of Sharpies this weekend, I was inspired to get a page done, just so I could write on it!





Isn't Jaffery adorable? 


It is fairly simple page. I had the "Hear Me Roar" stickers from Die Cuts With A View for quite some time. I actually purchased them with a page for Jaffery in mind. I dug out some scrap paper, a couple random brads, and found a cute puppy journaling block.



I glued things down and realized something more was needed. I then made this:



As the final step, I journaled with my new brown ultra fine point Sharpie marker.


It isn't perfect, however it doesn't matter. I'm starting to believe it is the story that matters, not how well written it is.


In honor of my one small stop toward journaling success, I would like to pass along a few Sharpies into the world, encouraging others to journal their stories.



Not one, but TWO readers will receive 3 packs of yellow sticky notes and 4 ultra fine point Sharpie markers! Woot Woot!
