Journal Jar

We found an old post that was in need of updating but still full of some great information for a Tuesday Tips post. This was originally posted late December way back in 2006! The original link no longer worked so we went to the site and searched “journaling ideas”. We found over 400 articles and 375 gallery examples on journaling ideas and just had to share this. Below you will find part of the original post, the updated link and a chance for you leave us your journaling ideas..

Well I just returned home from my holiday traveling a few hours ago and I am beat! We had a wonderful Christmas this year and I hope you all did too!

I really enjoyed Jen’s post yesterday about journaling. This year my biggest resolution with my scrapbooking is to work on my journaling abilities. It’s always been the area I’ve neglected.

With that said, I want to share a link with you all that I came across on the creating keepsakes website. I believe that it was an article published in a previous issue of their magazine. The article suggests keeping a journal jar, filled with little strips of paper containing different questions to help jump start your writing process. I know that for me this is the hardest part. Once I get going I usually have lots to say. The link contains a lot of great ideas for different journaling prompts, but I think it would be a lot of fun to come up with some of our own too! If you have any ideas feel free to post them in a comment below!

Here’s the new link! I hope its helpful to you all:  Creating Keepsakes
