    1. Thanks Sarah! But I can’t take credit for the pictures. They are courtesy of some great bullet journalists out there. Some of my favorites that give me inspiration.

  1. These are so beautiful! What I don’t necessarily understand is how do people take the time to do all the pretty decorating? My to-do lists are usually a scrap of paper on the kitchen counter. Although I guess there might be people who enjoy looking back over time at their past days’ lists… Anyways, I’m rambling. Pretty journal pics! 🙂

    1. I know exactly what you mean Amy. I think the really pretty ones are designed by the creative types. There are other examples out there for those of us who just want the basics.
