composition books

do you keep a journal?~

i've asked the question before as i am an avid writer of hypergraphic journals ~

& i've found i like these composition book style versions best ~

perhaps because they're big enough to afford me space for stickers as well? ~

& mysterious drawings ;) ~

bats, frogs, suns & moons ~

i've been keeping journals for over 30 years now ~

as an infj personality type i have a particular need to write & reflect to process life ~

i also have a trunkful of my mom's diaries archived in a trunk as well ~

i especially like the spiral bound decomposition books which can fold all the way open for easy use ~

i hope to live long enough to fill the many cool blank journals i've now collected ;)

flashback friday favorite ~ st pat's day!

this is a flashback friday favorite post from years ago.. i thought i'd share this cool retro tin lunchbox today ~

from loungefly ~

i love tin ~

besides lucky the leprechaun, it has the trix rabbit on the reverse ~

trix are for kids ~

i use cool old cereal boxics to store comics in, like this lenticular lucky charms box ~

with magical unicorn marshmallows! ~

this box came with a mini comic inside :) ~

we especially like chocolate lucky charms at our house ~

these each have a leprechaun trap on the back so you can try to catch your own! ~

update: here's another leprechaun trap we picked up this year (2023) ~

the charm'inn ~

i caught this little wade figure myself ;) ~
