If you didn’t see my post yesterday about this month of creativity boosts, check it out! I love my notebooks. I use them pretty much all the time, for pretty much everything. When I’m writing morning pages or just journaling it’s all mixed in with book reviews, to do lists and blog drafts (yep, I […]

I write about crafts and creativity regularly, but even I sometimes don’t feel that creative.
