Peeking in Journals
Sharing the pages of your journal is a brave thing to do. So naturally, it moves me each time someone opens her heart to share what she has done with a Gadanke journal.
I thought we’d take a peek at some of these books.
Thank you to these four ladies for their bravery and beauty!

This writing prompt journal (one of the very originals!) belongs to Tricia:

She blogged, “As I get older and my memory less dependable I feel compelled to document the ~~MeMoRiEs. I think it will be fun to look back upon later. So I am trying to decide which vehicle I would more likely use with a degree of regularity!”

This {Something Serious with Something Silly} journal page belongs to Katie:

She blogged, “I’m having fun with my ‘Something Serious with Something Silly’ journal from Gadanke. [...] I find it very relaxing to sit at night for 5 or 10 minutes once the baby is asleep and doodle and colour and write in multi-coloured pens. Something rather childish after a full day of being a responsible adult!”
This prayer journal belongs to Meri:

She blogged, “I have been adding a couple pages a day, and have been having so much fun testing new techniques or honing old ones. Love that the Gadanke journals are pocket size, so I can carry it anywhere without being cumbersome and getting some good thoughts and prayers and verses down where they are easily read.”

(More of her pages and the thought process behind them here.)

And last, there is Jane sharing peeks of her {Become} journal on Twitter:

She does her best journaling at the coffee shop, she says. (That’s where these pictures were taken.)

Have you shared peeks into your Gadanke journal or seen any floating around the web? Let us all know on Twitter or Facebook, or shoot me a note at makingthishome at gmail.com.

Katie,
You’re just so sweet. If I lived in your town, I would practically insist on a cup of tea this afternoon to tell you this face to face and to encourage you to keep spreading all this gorgeous joy. Lovely stuff. Be proud!
From autumnal Geneva…

All of the journals shown have turned out really nice. Each journal owner did such a great job of personalizing them. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for sharing my page :-) And it’s reminded me that I haven’t opened my journal in a wee while. Must dig it out for some more doodling!

After I saw this I re-opened my Become journal and got to scribbling… :) Love seeing what others do…some people are just so darn artistic!
