Introduction Post

Let's get the ball rolling in this community!

This is the post where we can all introduce ourselves and talk about what sort of journals and planners we're into. Remember, anything related to journals and planners is on topic here.

[personal profile] independence1776 and I will make monthly posts to keep the comm active, but we hope you'll also post regularly. Don't forget that pictures are encouraged!

I'm a paper journaler, of the reflect-by-writing type. I prefer journals that lie flat while I'm writing, which are harder to find than you'd expect, and I love the ones that have a magnetic flap to hold the journals closed. I also have a tendency to collect them, so I have several blank journals with no idea of when I'm going to use them.

I use stickers a lot, to the point where I had to buy an accordian folder for them.

I actually tend to avoid spiral bound because I've had too many pages ripped out of school notebooks just from simple wear and tear. But then, you seem to like that ability. :) I really do aim for keeps.

Stickers! I felt like such a little kid at first when I began buying them, but they make me happy so I quickly got over the feeling.

I mostly use Sticko brand because they're generally flat, but I'll use other brands if I can find them. Most scrapbooking stickers are 3-d or puffed up so they're fairly pointless for journaling, if only because they make it hard to write on subsequent pages and keeping the book closed. Sad thing is, the scrapbook stickers are some of the most interesting.

I do have a single sheet of puffy stickers, but I don't use them often. My current journal doesn't have magnetic lock, but most of mine do, so I have to be judicious in order to make the journal does close. It's why I needed to a giant file folder thing for my stickers; the pocket in the back of my first journal got too full!

Ooh, I'll have to check out Happy Planner; I haven't heard of the brand before.
