I LOVE JOURNALS

YES:

• Regular bound. I prefer hardback, but an occasional softcover is fine, too.

• I like both lined and unlined paper.

• Medium sized journals are my favorite size. No larger than 8.5 x 7 inch and no smaller than 6 x 4 inch.

• I like thin to medium sized thickness (the page #) journals because I can finish them faster.

• I like journals when they have the elastic strap, but without is fine, too.

• I love journals that look like vintage books, leather and faux leather, and in any of the themes I like that are listed above like space, travel, nautical themed, etc. Also I like simple journals that are just a color.

NO:

• Spiral bound.

• Graphics or large watermarks on each page. If the page isn't blank it messes up my creativity and writing flow.

• Jumbo journals, pocket journals, spiral bound, magnetic flaps, designs that are girly, too busy, or cheesy quotes.

I traveled to Ireland in December 2016, and ever since my wonderlust has only increased! I LOVE everything travel themed, especially Ireland and Scotland!

Stickers, stamps, paper, flags, postcards, pictures, etc!

Girly things (pink, purple, too many frills, rhinestones, hello kitty, etc.), Skull and crossbones, dark/rude humor, inappropriate things, Holiday themed (I have enough), tattoos, notepads, stuff for kids (simple coloring pages, foam stickers, etc.). Even though I like coffee I don't like coffee flavored candy. Cherry flavored candy. Not a fan of any sports, so I don't care for them, cigarette smoke, smoke of any kind,

I absolutely LOVE getting Mail Art letters! A decorated envelope is a sure way to get a heart from me! Also fun stamps! :D
