My Bullet Journal

I need simplicity. My bu is a simple journal that I find at Barnes and Noble. It cost my $5 and seemed like an inexpensive experiment. It was to be my "practice" journal which soothed my perfectionist tendencies, but it turns out I really like it. The lines are very light. And I've held my breath and drawn right over those lines for sketches and such. :D I really like that it has a strap that holds it closed.

Here are some of my additions:

 A year-at-a-glance calendar glued to the inside cover.
(never mind the highlighted areas. this is my daddy's work schedule and he sends me one of these calendars every year so I know when I can call him :) The calendar happened to be the perfect size and I kept losing it.)

On the opposing page is simply evidence to my love for all things AO. :D

 Key page

 Index

 I added 12 Month-at-a-Glance Pages to the front of mine which solved my longer range planning problem. It also helps me to look back and see some of the projects we enjoyed in the past. (Christmas books for example.)

 

My month-at-a-glance page complete with notes for making my own hummus in an extra space.

 This is my weekly spread. I don't always highlight. Sometimes it just helps me "see" better.

Interspersed throughout my journal are occasional empty spaces. These seem like the perfect spots for a doodle from a child who is having a bit of trouble being still or who just needs to share a picture. :)

Peacefully BuZzInG!
