Archiving my journals is one of the next things in my to-do list, but I'm afraid of buying the binders and finding out they dont fit anything and I need to buy tons of them. 😂 I wish they made some with a wider spine, for thicc journals.
Hahaha that was my problem to be honest. I'm not so sure if I want to organise everything this way, I just wanted to try it out and see if there are other options I noticed the TRC binders are meant for non-chunky inserts oops (it was hard to put it in especially for my previous journals which were suuuper chunky)
The sticker books are from Pepin Press, so you can search for their Label & Sticker Books online to see which stockists might ship to you. Thanks for watching!
Love seeing full binders like that. I also journal chunky so I made my own binders with elastic and book binding supplies. I wish I had used Kraft papers to bind now so I could decorate the outside too! Probably next time!
I used to keep my journal covers pristine. Now I look at covers as a blank art canvas. I even decorate my plain Travelers leather covers with a particular meaningful theme, including matching charms. So much more creative and freeing.
It is really nice that you have one style or format to work with. I have always kept some sort of diary, journal or scrapbook. I have a "five-year diary" that I kept when I was 8,9,10 years old (it didn't make five years). There are various notebooks, binders & scrapbooks I have saved over the years too. But... nothing like my junk journals. I have used at least 20 a year since January of 2020, when I started making them. I have a few that I use for super special stuff (a birthday card, letter, a great stamp I found, etc.) and when I finish a daily one, it goes on a bookshelf. At the end of the year I transfer them to a bankers box.
Trust me, I kept changing formats before this too. It was a bit too all over the place for me, but I found that the size works best for my travels :) Otherwise putting them in a banker's box is always a good idea. At home I have crates and every size is different. Nice to see progress and it always doesn't have to be uniform!
