    Wow, with all this writing and botanical illustrations it looks really authentic. I mean, I know it's real journal, but it looks so vintage :)

    Wow!
    I had a new bullet journal gathering dust in my closet and as I have sown some flowers and vegetables for the first time in years, I decided to make a garden journal. While watching some videos for inspiration on how to start, I came across this one. You have just saved my journal from becoming the most boring thing ever. Thanks for the inspiration. I really love your approach. Your grimoire is beautiful already!

      @PaperTamsMedia  Před 7 lety +1

      Masja Stengård you are not alone. Lots of people are afraid of messing up. I just go for it and if I mess up too bad, I just paste something like an envelope over top of it and write on separate piece of paper and tuck into envelope. I have lots of mistakes in my book. You should just go for it. The act of just writing in it is very meditative and beneficial.
