Denine, I totally agree:-)..............Elle (spelling correct?) you have such a love of Tarot, and that is why I am drawn to your channel...........you are an amazing teacher BECAUSE you are also the student, right there in the classroom with all of us. I LOVE all of your videos. Thank you for sharing:-)
Suzi Petito yes spelling absolutely correct- and thanks so so so much! Thats really cool to hear :o) im working on some (hopefully) cool meaty tarot stuff at the moment too- im having so much fun so far with the channel. Thanks for watching- you're so sweet xoxo
Such a good idea, adding the name / topic in the corner! I use a ring binder to be able to organize things by topic and add / subtract as I go, but that trick would work great with standard notebooks!
I just love this. I thought I was the only one who feels Tarot is an ever evolving and continuous study. My art journals are full of my Tarot musings. 😁
I started my first tarot journal a few months ago and it's really such a great way to dive deep into the meanings of your deck and the cards within them. It's such a great meditative tool as well! Thank you for sharing! Bless. ✨♏️
i spent all day today deciding what song i would associate with each court card and why. it was amazing and i went on a time warp back through all of my favourite songs over the years. there were definitely a few tears.
love your journals and your study -I read like you intuitively but I cannot get enough of study-I will be studying tarot and other things for the rest of my life-not because I have to but because I enjoy it-love your videos
I love what you said about the tarot meanings changing as you learn more. I have done readings for people (other readers) and they ask me how I came to that interpretation, I'm like well I just feel it and it came together in my head that way, shhhh just listen. hahaha
Every single tarot journal I've seen is exquisitely designed. Like flawless. The paintings, doodles, drawings etc. It makes it really hard for people like me who rather write than draw. Seeing your flip through has been incredibly helpful for me. Seeing someone else's style that relates to my own, it's great. Thank you!
I am so relieved that you said you don't have instant recall despite all of the study. That is exactly how I feel. Despite so much reading, writing and study I just can't recall the meanings verbatim or even close. I wonder if I am inadequate at times even though I know I am ok. Thank you for posting this lovely video.
"Card meanings" are just a starting place. They are great for studying, but when reading, just let them speak to you. And it's OK to be quiet and not immediately spit out words... Just let the card sit with you for a minute until the message (not meanings, but messages) come to you
I LOVE how you explain how the definitions evolve and change because it's so true, I never articulated that concept in my mind that way. It seems I'm on this never ending quest to pin down a meaning, but then BOOM it changes with the flashes of insight I get. SO TRUE!!!
Omg, I'm looking back at this video. You were the one who got me into edging my decks and creating custom decks when I first started out. Thank you for sharing what you know!
Love, love, love this video. I've studied and soaked up and used journals for my tarot journey for years and I love to listen to someone with such a passion for continuously learning and absorbing more. I've had those times surrounded by notebooks and decks and that is heaven to me. You just mentioned counting out the pages, I don't know how many times I've been at Barnes & Nobles counting out pages to make sure I would have enough for each card. The disc system has made journaling much easier for me but I still love the old school notebooks. You described so well how it all meshes together and constantly expands and changes. 💜
I thought it was just me!! Yay, welcome to my study room! If you don't have, I think you will totally enjoy the Kaindl Tarot deck with interruptation by Rachel Pollack.
I was watching a video where the reader said "the quitrent doesn't need or want to know everything you know about the card. They just need to know what is relevant for them." I found this quite brilliant. I always feel like I "don't know enough" about a card, but sometimes in a reading, I can just talk about the elemental energy of a card or the number energy, or just one small aspect and its more than enough for the person. It's just what they need. I study and study, don't get me wrong, but then a reading is not the place to show off all your brilliant study... It's about the client and what they need to hear. Remembering that when doing a reading actually takes a lot of pressure off to remember. Even when reading for self- I think a reading is maybe and 2% about "card meaning" and much more about what the cards are *saying* Reading just for card meaning can give a very static cut and paste reading. This is not really in response to the video itself so much (great video) but to some of the viewers, to point out that you don't have to know all the tarot meanings by heart to be a good reader. (As you mentioned the cards mean something new every time.) It takes a while to go beyond the card meanings, but they are really just a starting point.
I absolutely LOVE your energy, and the depth and intimacy of what you shared. I am a baby...I just started my first tarot journal *2* days ago, and I am so excited that this field of study has the potential to keep me occupied and satisfied for many years. Thank you for your passion.
Morning coffee and inspiration for a weekend project....words can't express the excitement! Loving the labyrinth that is the tarot journey. As a baby in this study, I love seeing the love only gets deeper. Thank you for sharing!
OMG it is a labyrinth! love it. I get so inspired by others videos like this too- isn't that the best?! thanks so much for the feedback and 4 watching xoxo
Such gorgeous bound books and such lovely cursive handwriting! I am OBSESSED with stationary, especially notebooks, I have a whole draw of blank notebooks 'cos I never know when I will need a fresh one. I love seeing how people study/record their tarot information. I went with the ring binder approach for most of my stuff and have a fancy journal for my daily draws/daily journal/year ahead 2016 spread stuff. Thank you for the show and tell. :)
+Kelly Bear oh I just loved seeing urs when u did ur video. Im OUT now- no more pretty blank journals waiting in my wings(i had a stockpile too for so long)...i guess ill just have to order some more...*evil grin* xoxo
I'm a big journaler, tarot and otherwise, Mead Composition notebooks. I've lost almost all of them. Ive gone thru so many decks of RWS decks ... It's fun to go back thru them, year's later, and reread them. Like another person wrote it, almost!
I know this is an older video, but I just came across it and loved it! I can relate to your way of tarot journaling. I do something very similar. I’m new to this path and I find that writing everything down is a big help. I look forward to watching more of your videos. Thank you for sharing!
Holy crap!! You are a dedicated learner. So many journals! I have 2 so far haha. Journaling has never been something that I thought I wanted or needed to do, but I've found it to be so helpful in many ways :). Thanks for sharing!
Hi You did a beautiful job compiling the history of your Tarot study. I find it a very interesting subject which I believe is largely a gift and seems evident by your enthusiasm and excitement. Continue on your quest, all best wishes and cheers !
"Italian leather! Hurhur!!" :P I definitely agree - I think half the reason I love tarot so much is that I love to get my nose stuck in books and take notes and learn! Loved seeing all your journals, thank you for sharing :) x
I love it. those evenings or days spent taking over the kitchen table are delicious to me. colored high lighters. my books and decks. the satisfaction of journaling and finding patterns and unveiling our stories *mwah* thank you for inspiring me lovely. :)
Elle, your work is fabulous! you're such a scholarly girl. I enjoy looking at all your journals. It's interesting how everybody interprets journaling a little bit differently, yet there's these threads that run through everybody's that's very connected and I love the geeky factor!' we should do a challenge for everyone to show their journals. I really think writing ideas down helps it stick. Blessings
Amazing . . so much info. . . and i totally agree with what your saying about interpretation being versatile and every changing . . so true . . I'm finding the more comfortable i am with a deck the more malleable and adapting the meanings can be
+Joe Monteleone oh I totally agree being really comforrtable with your deck, gettting intimate with it even, is soo important. ...did i just make a tarot sex joke? lol i didnt mean to. Thanks so much joe :o)
Oh my goodness. I am such a Nosy Nancy and I loved taking a peek into your super extensive journals. You have me pumped to get back into my tarot study after a little hiatus.
lol its fun to peep! I was re- watching some of ur videos today too hehe. I so wanna talk about lgbtq tarot now and the whole #tarotsowhite thing, I didn't really plan on going there, but after watching u again-"I feel so empassioned! thanks 4 wartching and 4 the inspiration xo
I love this so much!! the sheer volume of your journals and thoughts contained therein inspires me!! I want to be more organized with my tarot studies so thank you for this!!
I am so inspired by your enthusiasm. New to tarot but, like you, love to study and learn about things that excite me. Thank you for sharing...I'm a new subscriber xx
I've been a huge fan of keeping journals for a very long time (I won't say how long). I do know that I collect information as well as writing out my thoughts. What I have found most useful for me is to simply use my computer and make sure that I back everything up. It's much easier for me to find stuff that I want and need hat way. I do agree with you though, studying is important (sorry my Gemini is showing). I also like to add artwork to my pages as well.
I just got into tarot and I'm waiting for my first ever deck to arrive. I want to learn more about it so I started searching for books that could help and how I could record my learning process. I'm so happy I saw your channel! Your passion and enthusiasm really robbed on me and I want to start learning about tarot and record them ASAP! (I think I need to go journal hunting first though.)
Such a great video... I loved seeing all your journals and you give some really great pointers! I'm getting ready to start my own after The Starman Tarot gets dropped off on my doorstep tomorrow (omg I can't wait.... so excited to dig into that deck!)❤️ Anyway thanks for a great video... you're awesome and I'm looking forward to watching more of your videos! 🙂
I like the idea of putting the name of the card or rune or whatever your working with in the top right corners so you can easily flip through to find something. I always just set up my pages with the title or whatever on the left side of the page. I donno why I never thought of this it just makes a lot of sense :)
so happy to find you, you're fan, love your energy and after watching a few vids I already know your the one I've been looking for LMAO , love how you're into all the same kinda stuff I vibe with...my crystal ball foretells hours of watching...thank you huni 💖
Thanks for this great and inspiring video 🙏🙏...I think even the more passionated and knowlegeable tarot student will never live long enough to solve all its mysteries, and that's the beauty of it. Especially the Marseille, it being the first, each card is an endless pit of discoveries. I study with the Camoin-Jodo too, and Jodorowsky "the way of Tarot" is a bible to me... Thanks again for... just being you, I guess...
Umm.....based on your age as your present and the volumes of writing you have done, I have one thought....this magical being has mastered the art of never sleeping! Seriously, HOW in the heck have you written so prolifically? SO impressive and thank you for sharing!😀
I love this video!! I do like book study and journaling while reading, I mean is fun for me!! But for my tarot study I also combine mandalas, magazines pictures and so on. Thank you for sharing!!!
+Ixim Liv Thanks for watching. I just checked out ur wonderful Bullet Journal video actually- its so beautiful- I luv the Mandalas in there and the Mary-El too! xo
Holy shit! That's a lot of tarot journals! I study stuff to death as well, and I journal journal journal towards clarity. I don't even necessarily have to reread it--I'll just keep writing stream of consciousness until I get the "aha" moment that brings it all together : )
+Jessi Huntenburg oh yea i can relate to that! The "aha" makes it all worth it tho right! Thanks so much for watching! Btw I just watched ur video on ur Astral and Tarot Practices and omg im obsessed with u! lol Its something Im hoping to talk about here too. xo
Know this is a really late comment to the video but the work you have done is extraordinary...you could type up your reference book (edit what you personally don’t want to share) and sell as a tarot reference book to others...just a thought watching the video! Thanks for sharing your journey! Once you start you can’t stop I feel the same way...it’s pretty incredible and amazing..
Where did you get the books from 8:00 ? Those are cool, ALL THE SPACE! I'm the same as you, people sometimes look at me like I'm batshit crazy when I say I write things over and over and over to learn them. I summarize a little everytime I rewrite (depending on what it is, if it was college type stuff I'd summarize it, but when it comes to tarot I wouldn't because I don't want to lose any thoughts or blurbs that might be important). I get you 100% on that. It's like it goes from my wrist into my memory, like there's a direct stream between the two.
Would you ever publish them ?? I think I'm going to do that with my crystal visions deck..thank you Elle.. I'm obsessed with your work next to Justin Bieber Lmfao.. 😁😁😁😇
I wish I still had all my journals from years ago. My ex husband tossed them when we divorced. :( I no longer keep tarot journals per se, most of my writing is online now so I guess my blogs are kind of my journals, plus I've been working on an ebook where I'm getting all my tarot notes out of my head and into a coherent collection. lol, That may take the rest of my life. Very, very beneficial to learning and remembering. Yeah, I'm pretty obsessive when it comes to writing. I can relate.
I loved this so much, thanks! You actually inspired me to go to my biggest stationery store on a hunt for a journal with lots of pages to buy!! I had sworn off buying any sort of book because I have little room in my house! I wonder if you use the same book for multiple decks? I do daily draws in my Midori because I only have time to journal about it in my work break usually, but I'm looking forward to starting my monster journal!
the monster journal!! luv it! lol yeah I don't really have separate journals for different decks, it all goes in one. but whatever works u know. Thanks so much for watching and happy tarot Journaling :) xo
Thanks! I'm gutted because the journal that was sold as 300pages is in fact 200!! Where did you find such enormous blank books? I looked up accounting blank books, no luck! Any tips most welcome, thanks!
Amazing work! Congratulations! Consistence and perseverence..... I, too, study always, each and every day, but at a certain point I wrote everything in computer and start to organize it... of course, writing also by hand (is important!), but I can not organize it when writing by hand (I really don't know why, since I am used to work with all kind of binders and discbounds and rings and all styles of tabs and dividers and all organizational things... but, as you say too, when I work tarot, everything tend to be intuitive... till it clicks everything in place (this is the incubation phase of the learning process). - to be short: WHEN will you publish your experience? :) I would be delighted to see it. - and: wonderful artwork too, your images in the BoS (even if it is copied... the ideas and structuring is yours). - Thanks for sharing!
Such a beautiful collection of tarot journals! ❤️ I'm a tarot beginner, so I'm using a big bulky 5-subject notebook. I just received my first tarot deck, too. 😊 My older tarot journals were in composition notebooks, back when I used tarot apps. I think I have 3 tarot journals in my collection, including my 5 subject book. Thanks to this video, I'll be using my collection of blank composition notebooks for more tarot study. 🙂 I have 9 composition books to fill with nothing but tarot. 😊 How do you keep track of all of your tarot notebooks?
I love your videos keep up the good work! and btw your review for the rider waite smith decks made me want to get the albano tarot and you collection as a whole is amazing!
First of all, I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!! You're so fun and animated and you can really feel your energy and passion for all things Tarot and Pagan 😍 I am relatively new to Tarot, and I truly admire your deep understanding and relationship with the cards! Do you have any recommendations for books and websites for beginners to get some good card interpretations? Thank you so much! Keep up the amazing work! Fave channel😚
I'm with you, I way prefer premade journals to binders. I use binders for things like my Leonie Dawson workbook and any e-courses I do, but when it comes to journals it has to be hard covered, and I prefer rings to bound.
right! I wonder if its, as pagans, we're drawn to things that feel old? and binders feel so new world, u know? btw I remember ur video about that shining year journal u have, I had never heard if it before, but I thought it was just so cool! thanks so much xoxo
Oh forgot to say that yes, i agree, we pagans seem to be drawn to oldish looking things a lot. Did you see HerSpeak's video on books of shadows and how we just need to work in them?? If you havent you should watch it. Its very concise.
+Jess Johnson haha I feel like I might be about to jump down a rabbit hole here, lol I'm really interested in doing that journal! and no I haven't seen that vid, but I'll Def check it out- thanks so much for the recommendation!!
Please, you need to do a website and a tarot course , I really think you will be a great teacher and I want to learn with you. I also rather having journals book ;)
Elle, you are so great. ❤ I'm curious, if you're willing to share, about how old you are and what your three major signs are (Sun, Moon, Ascendant/Rising)? :3 Thanks!
Jo, como me recuerdas a mi, montones de libretas y apuntes, montones de barajas, jjjj.... Yo tengo muchas libretas que me encantan sin estrenar, por si acaso me hacen falta :-)
aww I wish there was a short cut, but I think it's all a combination of intuition and good old fashioned studying. thanks so much for watching and good luck :) xoxo
actually I think I got them from a borders book store, before they all closed, I haven't stumbled across any since. I have used, I think they're called accounting books? maybe for journals too. they look like cool books, a little taller than these, and u can find them at office max and staples I think. good luck. if u come across them somewhere else, let me know.. cuz I'd love to get more lol. xo
I am excited I am not the only who loves to study Tarot because it stimulates my brain. I am stoked I found your channel.
yaay tarot nerds unite lol!! welcome and thanks for watching my love! :)
Denine, I totally agree:-)..............Elle (spelling correct?) you have such a love of Tarot, and that is why I am drawn to your channel...........you are an amazing teacher BECAUSE you are also the student, right there in the classroom with all of us. I LOVE all of your videos. Thank you for sharing:-)
Suzi Petito yes spelling absolutely correct- and thanks so so so much! Thats really cool to hear :o) im working on some (hopefully) cool meaty tarot stuff at the moment too- im having so much fun so far with the channel. Thanks for watching- you're so sweet xoxo
You gotta publish those. Wow, amazing.
You have an adorable personality. That's not to in any way diminish your expertise.
So proud to see someone actually studying this ancient art......Blessed Love Maestra

I just love this. I thought I was the only one who feels Tarot is an ever evolving and continuous study. My art journals are full of my Tarot musings. 😁
I was told once, that I was soaked in tarot, what a great word I thought, never get enough and want more. And again great video
I started my first tarot journal a few months ago and it's really such a great way to dive deep into the meanings of your deck and the cards within them. It's such a great meditative tool as well! Thank you for sharing!

Rori Rants lmao ur right, no one uses that word anymore haha!

I just found you! Love your videos! Can't wait to watch more.
Thanks for all of your ideas in here.
Take care
Vicki
Your videos are fantastic, extremely educative and fun! you are such an inspiration
I love this video!! I do like book study and journaling while reading, I mean is fun for me!! But for my tarot study I also combine mandalas, magazines pictures and so on. Thank you for sharing!!!
+Ixim Liv Thanks for watching. I just checked out ur wonderful Bullet Journal video actually- its so beautiful- I luv the Mandalas in there and the Mary-El too! xo
I'm so grateful I found your channel❤✨
In another life, we would be best friends 💜 I relate to you on such a deep level. Thank you for this channel
You are so sweet and have a large fund of knowledge!
Holy shit! That's a lot of tarot journals! I study stuff to death as well, and I journal journal journal towards clarity. I don't even necessarily have to reread it--I'll just keep writing stream of consciousness until I get the "aha" moment that brings it all together
: )
+Jessi Huntenburg oh yea i can relate to that! The "aha" makes it all worth it tho right! Thanks so much for watching! Btw I just watched ur video on ur Astral and Tarot Practices and omg im obsessed with u! lol Its something Im hoping to talk about here too. xo
Know this is a really late comment to the video but the work you have done is extraordinary...you could type up your reference book (edit what you personally don’t want to share) and sell as a tarot reference book to others...just a thought watching the video! Thanks for sharing your journey! Once you start you can’t stop I feel the same way...it’s pretty incredible and amazing..
I love your energy and truly loved your journals. Plus, you are so pretty.
yay tarot journals! lol thanks for watching darlin. you're so sweet :) xo
Where did you get the books from 8:00 ? Those are cool, ALL THE SPACE!
I'm the same as you, people sometimes look at me like I'm batshit crazy when I say I write things over and over and over to learn them. I summarize a little everytime I rewrite (depending on what it is, if it was college type stuff I'd summarize it, but when it comes to tarot I wouldn't because I don't want to lose any thoughts or blurbs that might be important). I get you 100% on that. It's like it goes from my wrist into my memory, like there's a direct stream between the two.
Elle we miss you 💜🌸 we want more videos
wow! your journal a bit like I do! I feel pretty good now.
I noticed I journal a lot like you and have journals for everything, can’t have to many journals 😉
Lol..why am I messing wit other journals your Are the best !! I so wanna copy !! I love you !!
Would you ever publish them ?? I think I'm going to do that with my crystal visions deck..thank you Elle.. I'm obsessed with your work next to Justin Bieber Lmfao.. 😁😁😁😇
I wish I still had all my journals from years ago. My ex husband tossed them when we divorced. :( I no longer keep tarot journals per se, most of my writing is online now so I guess my blogs are kind of my journals, plus I've been working on an ebook where I'm getting all my tarot notes out of my head and into a coherent collection. lol, That may take the rest of my life. Very, very beneficial to learning and remembering. Yeah, I'm pretty obsessive when it comes to writing. I can relate.
I loved this so much, thanks! You actually inspired me to go to my biggest stationery store on a hunt for a journal with lots of pages to buy!! I had sworn off buying any sort of book because I have little room in my house! I wonder if you use the same book for multiple decks? I do daily draws in my Midori because I only have time to journal about it in my work break usually, but I'm looking forward to starting my monster journal!
the monster journal!! luv it! lol yeah I don't really have separate journals for different decks, it all goes in one. but whatever works u know. Thanks so much for watching and happy tarot Journaling :) xo
Thanks! I'm gutted because the journal that was sold as 300pages is in fact 200!! Where did you find such enormous blank books? I looked up accounting blank books, no luck! Any tips most welcome, thanks!
Amazing work! Congratulations! Consistence and perseverence..... I, too, study always, each and every day, but at a certain point I wrote everything in computer and start to organize it... of course, writing also by hand (is important!), but I can not organize it when writing by hand (I really don't know why, since I am used to work with all kind of binders and discbounds and rings and all styles of tabs and dividers and all organizational things... but, as you say too, when I work tarot, everything tend to be intuitive... till it clicks everything in place (this is the incubation phase of the learning process). - to be short: WHEN will you publish your experience? :) I would be delighted to see it. - and: wonderful artwork too, your images in the BoS (even if it is copied... the ideas and structuring is yours). - Thanks for sharing!
Elle such a wonderful person..miss you
You're such an inspiration!
Such a beautiful collection of tarot journals! ❤️ I'm a tarot beginner, so I'm using a big bulky 5-subject notebook. I just received my first tarot deck, too. 😊
My older tarot journals were in composition notebooks, back when I used tarot apps. I think I have 3 tarot journals in my collection, including my 5 subject book.
Thanks to this video, I'll be using my collection of blank composition notebooks for more tarot study. 🙂 I have 9 composition books to fill with nothing but tarot. 😊
How do you keep track of all of your tarot notebooks?
You are a peach!!!! Love it❤️
I love your videos keep up the good work! and btw your review for the rider waite smith decks made me want to get the albano tarot and you collection as a whole is amazing!
aww thanks so much! I appreciate that. yeah scoop up the albano-waite if u can, it's just awesome! :)
+Sacred Seed I bought it and got the haindl tarot with it as well :D

First of all, I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!! You're so fun and animated and you can really feel your energy and passion for all things Tarot and Pagan 😍 I am relatively new to Tarot, and I truly admire your deep understanding and relationship with the cards! Do you have any recommendations for books and websites for beginners to get some good card interpretations? Thank you so much! Keep up the amazing work! Fave channel😚
sounds wonderful , lovely video
+Patricia Roman Thnks so much!!
SO INTENSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MISS YOU
I'm with you, I way prefer premade journals to binders. I use binders for things like my Leonie Dawson workbook and any e-courses I do, but when it comes to journals it has to be hard covered, and I prefer rings to bound.
right! I wonder if its, as pagans, we're drawn to things that feel old? and binders feel so new world, u know? btw I remember ur video about that shining year journal u have, I had never heard if it before, but I thought it was just so cool! thanks so much xoxo
Leonie's workbooks are huge. Kelly-Ann uses them too. Www.leoniedawson.com They are only $10 for the e-version, but more for printed.
Oh forgot to say that yes, i agree, we pagans seem to be drawn to oldish looking things a lot. Did you see HerSpeak's video on books of shadows and how we just need to work in them?? If you havent you should watch it. Its very concise.
+Jess Johnson haha I feel like I might be about to jump down a rabbit hole here, lol I'm really interested in doing that journal! and no I haven't seen that vid, but I'll Def check it out- thanks so much for the recommendation!!
Don't forget t take your pocket watch, and stop and see the Mad Hatter for some tea. ;)
Loving your channel!
i do have a lot of stuff wrote down from a journal to spreads i did i need to put it into one journal
Please, you need to do a website and a tarot course , I really think you will be a great teacher and I want to learn with you. I also rather having journals book ;)
aww thanks that's so sweet! thanks so much for watching, definitely lots more to come ;) xo
Elle, you are so great. ❤ I'm curious, if you're willing to share, about how old you are and what your three major signs are (Sun, Moon, Ascendant/Rising)? :3
Thanks!
Jo, como me recuerdas a mi, montones de libretas y apuntes, montones de barajas, jjjj.... Yo tengo muchas libretas que me encantan sin estrenar, por si acaso me hacen falta :-)
omg I love those books , where did u get them from the really thick ones , they are awesome .
Omg u r amazing
Simply amazing. How do you find time to do that?
Do you have any theories as to what the white object on the Magician's table in he Visconti Sforza deck is?
I love it
We miss you.
I miss your videos.
I use Evernote and moleskin...😎
ditto...a word i havent heard since high school lol
You do readings for others? I’d like one?
How do you learn tarot fast? I don't like studying but I want to know how to read tarot
aww I wish there was a short cut, but I think it's all a combination of intuition and good old fashioned studying. thanks so much for watching and good luck :) xoxo
Where did you get the journals that look like books?
actually I think I got them from a borders book store, before they all closed, I haven't stumbled across any since. I have used, I think they're called accounting books? maybe for journals too. they look like cool books, a little taller than these, and u can find them at office max and staples I think. good luck. if u come across them somewhere else, let me know.. cuz I'd love to get more lol. xo
so many...
Why arent u making vids
