Composition Book Journaling: This is Your Life
How many diaries have you started in your life (usually on January 1st, of course) and when you look back at them, there are many entries that read something like, “I'm so bad at keeping this diary. I swear I'm going to be better and write every day.”? How many expensive, pretty journals have you purchased in your life that have never been filled because you thought your words weren't worthy of that beautiful book? I think I have a couple dozen, myself. Well, I've developed a solution for myself that I'd love to share with you: My Everyday Book. What do you do with all of the random flotsam and jetsam of your days – ticket stubs, birthday cards, little handwritten love notes from your spouse (a girl can dream), the funny thing your 5-year-old said, a really cool label from a delicious shiraz you had on your anniversary? You put it all into this book! What do you do with your random thoughts, ideas, doodles and dreams? You put them into this book! At the end of the year, you'll have a really yummy history of YOU and your year. I'll show you some neat techniques that I use daily in my own journal, as well as a bevy of samples and ideas for creating a annual record of your life. The best news is that you don't need any new tools or supplies to make this happen (unless you want to go shopping, of course)!

If “I have no time for journaling” is your first excuse for not
keeping a journal, this is the workshop for you. Some artists love to journal
their lives in painstaking and epic handwritten detail. Others like to blog
or keep electronic diaries. Others create solely visual journals. This journal,
utilizing the good ole marble composition book, is a combination of journaling
styles, designed to help you keep a record of your life in just minutes (and
pennies) a day. Really.
