Thank you! A flip flop journal has no front or back specifically. Once you turn all the pages, it "flips" and starts all over again on another side. Originally they were made with envelopes, but I have a lot of scrapbook paper that I need to use, so I used that instead. Yes, it is meant to be written in or added to. I have a video showing more here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-62gFBYIqaQQ.html
