Hi friends! Enjoy a flip thru of my NYC junk journal...just a Moleskine notebook I made my own. Thank you so much for watching, lots of love to you all
Finally someone who loves to journal as much as I do. 90% of videos on here seem to be about bullet journaling only and people do nothing but write lists etc. but there’s actually not much text on their pages. Love this.
Ramona Gaston Thank you 💗 As long as there's a line, I manage to keep my letters straight, even the same size. It's just a gift I've been given, a gift I love to use! Thank you so much for watching, and taking the time to comment.
This was absolutely awesome!! The hard work you did is impeccable. So neat, I enjoyed every page. Your penmanship is great!! I will always watch your work.. This was FANTASTIC.. your family should be proud!!!! Cynthia Jo
cynthia abdullah Oh GOSH, thank you so much, your words are so kind and thoughtful!!! This trip was a dream come true for me...I wanted to document it from my heart and soul 💗 Thank you for watching!!! Xo
Thank you so much! It was a blast making it...and truth be told, about once a week I'll sit down and flip thru it...the memories make my heart so happy!!
Love your journal thanks for sharing xx NY is my happy place too ... I made a scrapbook for my last trip too they bring back so many great memories xxxx it’s beautiful I’ve subscribed to your channel thanks again for sharing it’s amazing xxxx and I bet so much fun to put together xxx
Thank you so much for sharing your New York Travel journal. I'm loving all the pictures but you have a writing addiction...lol....YOU CAN WRITE A LOT AND VERY SMALL....WOW!!! Your small handwriting looks like a background stamp...really cool....(I will be trying that). New York is my home since I was born so thank you for coming and I'm glad you and your hubby had a great time....next time you come let me know so we can meet...TFS
"I didn't care about the chocolate I just wanted the box" lol ...I love that... so something I would do! Glad to hear I'm not the only one! I go on trips and the people I'm with get trained within 2 days of being with me to know I want any and all ephemera I can get my hands on..."yes of course I want the receipt!" or " hey, do you have business cards or brochures by any chance? " Thanks so sharing! Love your journal, style and your hand writing!
Hi, I've been a life-long NYer and grew up in a section of Jamaica closest to JFK Airport (closest to the A Train area). Glad that you had a nice time for the most part. The traffic is sometimes crazy but depends a lot on the time of day you are traveling. Many people hate driving on the highways so your hubby is not alone. That's a beautiful book you made! I love the I💗NY shopping bag too :)
I'm so jealous you grew up there! My hubbys uncle lives by Jamaica Queens...I love the hustle and bustle of the area, all the shops and restaurants! Thanks so much for watching and commenting 💗💗💗
Loved ur ny journal n ur handwriting is awesome and yes kudos for ur hubbie driving cuz i also have a fear of driving on freeways so kudos to him 😊 TFS
I was so proud of him, he did great...but as soon as we got into NJ, we had to switch, and I don't blame him....people on the East Coast drive completely different than the rest of the country LOL Thank you for watching!
A new subscriber to your channel, and I am "floored" by your talent. Your journal is inspirational. I look forward to seeing what you will do next. Thanks for sharing. FYI, I am a Michigander as well.
San Hunter Hi San, and welcome! Thank you for the kind comment, you've made my morning. I love sharing my journals with my subscribers...if there's anything in particular you'd like to see, please let me know! Michigander, huh? Born, raised, and probably never leaving the Metro Detroit area 😂
I absolutely love this! What a wonderful travel journal. Love all the journaling and how you added all the ephemera. Next time you go, try lining up at TKTS booth at times sq for discounted prices on Broadway shows- up to 50% off :) my friends and I did that back in high school and college.. Great way to see the shows at an affordable price! So glad you enjoyed NYC! Love your handwriting and how colorful the book is :) TFS!!
Thanks so much Judy! I can always count on your support 💗 Once we plan our next trip to NYC I will pick your brain, if you don't mind...here all the tricks and secrets you may know of.
Hi! I just stumbled across this video while looking up some travel journal inspiration for my trip to Toronto next month... I'm from Staten Island, born and raised, and I loved your book! It's really cool to see my city through the eyes of somebody else, and I think it's great that you spent so much time in Queens because most visitors never even leave Manhattan. Wasn't expecting to hear Sunnyside and Jamaica when I clicked! I bought a few supplies today to create my own traveler's notebook inserts, but now I'm loving the full notebook idea. I fly on September 1st, so I'll have to act fast on which size I want to do! Thanks for the inspiration, your book looks amazing! Hope you get to visit us again soon :]
Kiera K Aww thanks for the love! I am dreaming of the day we can return to NYC...I want to see and do it all! Have fun in Toronto, it's another beautiful city!! 💗
I really like how you did your journal, so many great ideas. A funny thing I've been to NYC twice, HATED IT, rude people aggressive drivers, not my kind of place. But so glad you had a wonderful time and your journal is fabulous
Thank you so much for watching! NYC is definitely not for everyone. I’m forever a city girl...I love the hustle and bustle, riding the subway, walking with the crowds. I really felt at home. I know a few people that would never want to be around all those people, would rather be on a beach, or out in the country where there isn’t a lot of commotion 😂
This is just a lovely video. Your writing is so pretty, love the commentary, love the layouts. So nice! Lovely family. I enjoyed every moment of this video!
Loved your journal! ♡ You can tell you put your heart into it. Also, like you said that you love New York. What a wonderful keepsake, wonderful memories. TFS! :)
I am just about speechless! This is my all time favorite flip through! Your layouts and overall presentation are so beautiful and your tip ins are phenomenal. Btw, there is nothing junky about your journal. LOL. I am so glad you were smitten with NYC. I was born, raised in Brooklyn and continue to live in Queens, NY. What really touched me was that you actually stayed in Queens and visited Staten Island as many tourist tend to be Manhattan centered. Good for you! You have inspired me to finally buckle down and make a travel journal for a trip I took about 7 years ago to London and Paris; I have a huge box of ephemera I collected and I journaled every day. I even kept track of how many steps I took each day I was there. I'm guessing I feel as grateful for that experience as you expressed for your NY experience. Thanks so much for all the great layout inspiration.
Joselyn Greene You just made my morning with your sweet comment!!! Thank you SO much for watching this, I cannot wait to go back and document our next trip even better! I miss it sooooo much. I am definitely a city girl, and I love nothing more than exploring a new city and collecting all the mementos and souvenirs along the way 💗 Have fun with your travel journal...I hope it reunites you with those feelings again!! Xo
Love this junk journal!! I enjoyed watching this so much! Thank you for sharing and telling us about your experience. You have gorgeous handwriting, so legible. I save everything too when I travel, but have no discipline when it comes to putting it together in a journal. You are so sweet. ((Hugs))
LOVE this journal, Lindsey! You're very detailed in your journalling...even how you save items from your trip. I was very impressed, and I enjoyed seeing this flip-through. So, you live in Detroit...I live in Windsor! If you belong to a journalling meet-up, I would be interested in attending to gain further inspiration! Thank you for posting this wonderful video!
ckfoxxer Thanks so much for watching!! How fun that you’re only on the other side of the Detroit River from me...I haven’t heard of any journaling meet ups out here, but if I do, I’ll let you know! 💗💗
I love this! I was looking for travel scrapbook ideas bc I'm planning my first trip to New York this summer with my best friend so I clicked on your video. Then you mentioned you were from the Detroit area and I laughed out loud. I'm from the burbs of Detroit as well!! And then you flipped off trump tower and it was love. Looking forward to more videos 😊
sarahberah1121 You just made my day! So cool seeing others from the Mitten...I'm in the Plymouth/Canton area, born and raised...and NYC is my my heart!!! Thanks so much for watching, I hope it inspires you to save everything and document the heck out of your trip xo
So funny, I did an internship in Plymouth last summer for a wedding planning/ floral design company. I'm from the Bloomfield/Birmingham area 😊 I will definitely be saving everything. I now plan on bringing a little pouch with post it's and a pen so I can throw everything in there while I'm in NYC and at least have some notes about the items if I don't have the time to document as I go.
You have such a beautiful journal, full of such wonderful memories! For future reference, if you'd like to see Wicked for cheap, you can enter the online lottery and/or in-person lottery. If you win, you can get up to two tickets for around $35 each.
This is absolutely amazing, what a memorable keepsake and you'll be able to pass it on for generations to come I think you did great work it really is lovely. One thing I've got to point out is your writing, it is fantastic wow how do you keep your writing so neat and in a straight line I would love to be able to journal like you do. I just think it's amazing I keep using that word I'm sorry but it really is beautiful well done such a treasure to keep forever more and it sounds like you had a fantastic time😀
Aww thanks so much!!! You’re too kind! The pages actually had grids on them, so it was pretty easy to write straight, I had so much fun with this journal. Thank you so much for watching 💗💗💗
hi! a fellow journaler here! (on my other channel, that is). I love love love this journal, I live close to NYC so I go quite often but I love it so much as well. I just wanted to put out there that there are a lot of ways to get very discounted Broadway tickets, there's an app called TodayTix, as well as the TKTS booth in Times Square, and rush lines. I'd definitely google any of those if you want more information, so that way if you ever go back and want to see a show you can for cheap! I'm talking like $30-40/ticket for some shows. I'm a huge broadway nerd and have seen tons of shows using these resources myself. just something to think about! have a lovely day!
And I looooove your handwriting!!When do you journal? I like to do it om the spot everyday otherwize I forget or afterwards I don't feel like it anymore because I like to write al lot too.
I'm stunned by the beauty of this book and the way you treasure and love every little thing. At the same time I'm a bit sad and also angry that you seem to give things up very easily. If I wanted to see a broadway show there, then I'd save up for that in advance. If I'd want to move there I'd search for a job and not wait until it magically appears. I know that life isn't that easy and there are many responsibilities. But please don't wait too long for things to happen on their own and try to actively do stuff. It's of course easy for me to say that and I really don't mean to be hard on you in any way. It's just that you seem so grateful and nice that I think you deserve what you wish for. So try to go after it no matter what life throws at you. I know you can do it - we all can ❤
Visual Mind Thank you for your comment...you’re absolutely right! Once my son graduates high school and settles down, I plan to live my dream in NYC 💗 And I know for sure I’ll be returning before then to see a Broadway show or three 😂 Thank you again for the love!! Xo
I love this! You've inspired me to do this kind of thing for my next trip :) thankyou for sharing, I would love to go to New York so it was lovely seeing it through your book. Your handwriting is so nice and neat by the way!
I absolutely loved your New York junk Journal 📓 it was everything😊 I did my very first traveling junk journal when I went to Hawaii for the first time. I collected everything. So I totally understand and enjoy your video 🥰
Lindsey, that was an amazing tribute - I really could tell how much the trip meant to you and I really enjoyed seeing everything you saved. Being from NJ I forget what an iconic place NYC is, whenever I have to go I almost dread it... I forget how magnificent the city can be Be well and hope you get to go back.... If you do and want to see a show try just going to the theater before showtime - unsold tickets can be a lot better. You do have to wait in line at the box office but you might even save half... It might not work out but at least you have a shot at getting a good price Tracy
Tracy Reinhardt thank you so much! My hubby and I are hoping to go back in April for our birthdays, and just us...I can't wait!! Thank you SO much for watching all the way through, that means a lot to me 💗
That is AMAZING! Where do you even start!?! I've always wanted to do something like this but never knew where to begin. Do you journal and take notes in another notebook and then when you got back you put this together? I am a native New Yorker. I grew up on Long Island but spent a lot of time in the city, so I know all about the traffic. I live in Albany now but we do get to visit the city at least once a year. I think the museums are my favorite, they are all wonderful. I do miss the pizza and bagels. Glad you had such a good time and you are right, there is just so much to see. I really enjoyed looking through your journal, thanks for sharing.
John Ruiz Thanks so much for watching! My hubby and I are actually going back in a few weeks, it was a surprise Christmas gift, and I am SO excited! I would collect menus, pamphlets, receipts, business cards, etc. while we were out....then either that evening, or early the next morning I would Journal about what we did/saw, gluing in everything. That way it was fresh in my mind. This trip in a few weeks will make for an even bigger, better journal and I can’t wait!!!!
You have the most beautiful handwriting!!! Your journal is just wonderful! I've always wanted to go to NYC! Now that I've seen your journal I want to go even more. All the free hand out pamphlets are so artistic, I don't blame you for keeping them. I'm so happy for you that y our g of to go and that you had such a great time.
Thank you Carla! I'm still missing NYC...there's so much that we didn't get to see and do, and I'm so anxious to go back...I miss it 😊 Thank you so much for watching 💗
I AM FROM NY AND ABSOLUTELY APPRECIATE PEOPLE LIKE YOU WHO GO TO OUR BEAUTIFUL CITY THE "RED APPLE" AND LOVE IT. ITS TRULY THE CAPITAL OF THE WORLD. GORGEOUS CITY. LIKE YOU, I LOVE NEW YORK. BLESSINGS TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. THANK YOU FOR SHARING LINDSEY.
Tina Hanel Thank you for your kind words, it was an honor visiting the best city in the world! I am trying to plan another visit, and my next journal will be even better 💗 Thank you for watching and listening to me ramble lol
I finally just saw Wicked for my 42nd birthday. It was expensive and we were up high. Next time you go try to plan your next trip around Broadway Week buy 2 for, 1. It's next week (September) and again in January/February. I wish I had known. Missed it by 1 week. 🙁
beautiful book, I would love to have more options to like your video, specially when you talk about the AF1! even when I'm wearing more "executive" clothes I'm wearing sneakers, so I totally understand you
Ignacio Medina I’m so sorry I’m just now seeing your comment 🥺 I always tell my friends and family...if I ever win the lottery, or make a substantial amount of money, I will buy AF1’s in every color they ever made 😀
Wow! Beautiful! Absolutely awesome memory keepsake. What did you use for your title dates (it looks like the alphabet are painted with the cute dots - did you use stencils for the lettering?). Beautiful writing. I may have to try Sharpies. 😉 Thanks for sharing!
Is that really your handwriting??? OMG it's incredible! I have the worst handwriting and keep trying to improve it. Yours is amazing!! This reminds me of a Smash Book...love it!
New subbie here! I live in NYC (Astoria,Queens) born in Brooklyn and I love my city and I love hearing how much you love it too! It's great seeing it through someone else's eyes, I have not been able to go to see the Freedom Tower yet its still so emotional to me even though I didn't loose anyone its still so hard. I'm glad you enjoyed yourself and I hope you will visit again! I think you did an awesome job on your journal. Tfs, Kay
Lovely ! I did the same for my first ever overseas trip ( the only things I didn't collect were dirt and sand lol) and made a journal out of it. It's one of the most precious things I have to-date :)
Just found your video. Wow! I love this! I love so many things about your journal. How do you get the right amount of words and journaling in the space you allot for a particular day or topic?
Hi! You know, you’re the first person to ask that lol. That’s a very good question, a lot of times if I don’t have enough space that’s when I’ll use hidden journaling. If I have too much space, I’ll fill it in with stickers or post cards, ephemera. Thanks for watching!!
This is terrific. My family did a cross country trip I'm 1987 and my mom did something similar. I still didn't hours looking at it. I did the NYC trip in April- wish SOOO bad I'd seen this first. Awesome job!
I L❤'ve it because I did the same thing too. I keep receipts, menus, anything relating to my my trip to Oregon, England and Massachusetts but you added more details! Fantastic!❤journaling!📖✒🖌✏💷🏷🔖
So amazing! Boy you like to journal! Trump Tower comment hilarious! I really hope you get to see a play next time. Oh and loved your hubbie comments. So funny. Grumpy and tight wad!
I’m so happy you like it! I am dying to go back and do everything we didn’t get to so I can make an even better journal!!! Thank you so much for watching 💗
Hi Lindsey, I'm from the Netherlands in Europe and I was in NYC this spring for the second time. I can't compare to any other city, and I don't know exactly what it is but it stole my heart too.... Great journal, thank you!
i'm going on a toronto and nyc trip in december through janurary and was looking for some travel journalling inspiration. i love yours! also, your handwriting is so beautiful and neat
