oooh it is SO hard to start a new journal, especially when the pages are completely blank. i bind journals and i have yet to make myself one, because its so difficult to do that too! i just dont know what i want yet, ya know? and this is why i blog, ha….but i do need to make a journal before my honeymoon in sept.

gracia - I guess it is that whole…”journey” thing…still a bit scary

ky - I used to edit much more than I do now…I have gotten better at accepting what I consider my mistakes

shari - its hard to jump in…I start to carry it around with me a little before the other journal is complete…

lisa - I am bummed I didn’t get a chance to see you this time!

shanna - yeah that hipply bunny, I think what kills me is her voice, so much a child’s but she seems so sure at the same time!

sputnik - thanks for stopping by, I used to have trouble finishing, but now it is really about starting…

bugheart - I guess it is one or the other, maybe?

julie - wow you really think about it, love that!

michelle - had a fantastic time, so glad it is just not me…I have to put something on that first page, usually something I tear out of a magazine…

jenifer - next time!

alicia - glad I got to see the shop before it closed, it was a pleasure to meet you!

yes, yes, yes! i feel the same way about a new journal. i always leave the first page blank (just something i do) but man, that first entry–staring at all that blank space. it’s tough.

girls trip! sounds grand! hope you have a marvelous time!

oh yes, i am the same..what to have on the first page? will it influence the rest of the journal? what kind of style am I going for?…

i guess
i am
the only one
that loves
starting
a new journal
with all those
lovely blank
pages…
but filling it
up all the way
through-
that’s my
issue-
fyjs
(filling
your journal
syndrome).
that’s why
i have
like 100
1/3-filled
journal books!
thanks
for
the great link
to
Hippily Bunny!

i have a collection of more than 6 journal books. i have a habit of just filling them up halfway…maybe because i never really wanted to finish the whole journal books, because i will feel a kind of lost and its always difficult to start a new one again….in the meantime, i be still adding new one to my collection.

i’m right there with you. it is SO hard to start a new journal. those blank pages just sit there and taunt you so i usually go back to one that still has a few empty pages left. i should just jump in though. xo shari

blank pages are unusually intimidating to me - my first few pages usually end up being ripped out (i am a shameful editor) until i find the groove….
oooooo - girls only trip - FUN! safe and happy travels!
