Art Journal Dilemma
I have confessed here that I have many art journals. Some of them are multi-purpose journals, and some are for specific things (e.g. calligraphy or my Unification Project). This proliferation of journals has become a bit of a dilemma. (Yes, there are two allowable spellings for this word).
Mostly my dilemma is with my multi-purpose journals. Usually I start a new journal because I want a different size or a different type of paper. My problem with this is that I don't have a chronological record of my art work or my journalling. (Oh dear, this applies to my special purpose journals too, I guess). What to do? Start a new journal and stick with it? Oh no, not another journal! That sounds a bit counterproductive.
For now I've pledged to finish the oldest journal this week. Keep using it until it is done. I promise.

Very nice journal page - I really like the stencil image (?) that you used and the writing inside the white lines & the spaces. That is such a cool idea for journaling. Hope you don't stress too much about too many journals. I stress too about things not being in chronological order. I think it is just the way my brain works.
Thanks Tricia. Yes that's a Tim Holtz stencil I've used. My brain must work the same as yours LOL
