giving my reading journal a little sparkle for February 💕✨

the great thing about this passport-sized notebook is that I can be playful with my spreads without it taking 30+ minutes to setup! Within 10 minutes of opening a blank page, I had a new reading tracker ready to go for the month!

I have a few books I’m really excited to tackle this month, so stay tuned for that :)

adding personality to my Filofax personal planner 💌💕

the math makes sense to me 😅 #29thbirthday

nothing is safe from customization 😂🙌

embroidering the elastic ban that keeps my “stream of consciousness” journal closed was actually easier than I thought it’d be….just needed a sewing needle and embroidery thread to get the job done!

do you think you’d ever give this a try?? #journalinspo

a peak inside my pocket leather journal

this is my second year using this mini journal from @paper_republic and it’s suchhhhh a treat to use 🥹

I’m staring off with three passport-sized @travelers_company inserts for random notes, my 2026 reading journal and a 2026 memories log 🙌

I always make changes throughout the year as I start using the journal so if you want updates, let me know 😎

#leatherjournal #pocketjournal

everyone needs a SMALL journal

especially beginners!!

don’t get me wrong, I loveeeee an A5 but if you’re new to journaling (or trying to get back in the habit) working with a smaller canvas can be helpful !

✅ less overwhelming
✅ takes less time to fill-in
✅ can easily come with you on-the-go

my pocket size @paper_republic is where I like to be playful with my journaling, so I think it makes for a great entry into the journaling world !!

hav you ever used a mini/passport/pocket sized journal or planner??

…because fresh bread is ♥️💕💛💌🩷💗

I decided to “paint” my loaf with some crushed up dehydrated strawberries that I turned into a paste with a little bit of water….obviously the red didn’t stay the same colour after baking, but it still do a good job of holding shape! My cooking goal this year is to improve my sourdough scoring & art abilities 🙌

(To ensure it didn’t burn, I cooked my loaf covered with a lid for 80% of the cooking time!)

hot foil embossing my diy leather journal!!

even though I’ve been crocheting for over a year, this is my first wearable crochet project!! it’s far from perfect, but I think it’s so cool that I was able to make something I could actually use 🙈 I’m feeling inspired to tackle a hat next (probably because, as mentioned, it’s FREEZING in Toronto 🥶😰)

the pattern is by @devout_hand !!

custom tin journal cover 🥹✨

I was so insired by the tin embossed gift tags I created over the holidays, that I wanted to find a unique way to incorporate this crafting technique into my life in 2026….I’ll look at this cover everyday when I write my daily single-page journal entries in 2026, so I couldn’t be happier that I now have something beautiful and custom to feast my eyes on 🙌

I’m using a basic sharpie s-gel pen to draw out a floral design (highly recommend doing this on a medium-soft surface like a paperback so that the design really pops out)

would you ever try tin embossing? 👀 you can buy tin crafting sheets rather than flattening out aluminum foil pans if you want a super clean look !

#tinembossing #foilembossing #diyjournal

becoming a pro at making these beauties 🥹💕

this particular A5 journal is going to a special loved one — I love how I’m able to customize the look of each journal with different charms and elastic colours

I have a complete breakdown of the cost and supplies on my feed (there’s also an video on my YT channel dedicated to how I put this DIY leather journal together, start to finish)

would you ever want to try making your own leather journal??

mechanical embossing label maker? the perfect journaling tool 🙌

#LTKFindsUnder50

hear me out: you make one each month, and then paste it into your journal as a keepsake 👀🤯🙌

I have a dedicated reading journal to track the books I read in 2026, but can’t deny this idea is really great because it allows you to have your reading tracker on you at all times! And if you’re an e-reader girlie, just slip it behind a clear e-reader case 😍

SAVE this post for your next craft night!!

2026 is for analog planning 😇

I revamped my filofax for 2026 (there’s a whole video on my YouTube channel LINKED IN MY BIO that walks through the process)….it’s my second year using the personal ring binder system and I love using it for my morning to-do lists so that I spend less time looking at a screen.

I didn’t use the built-in credit card slots a whole lot last year so I cut cardstock to make mini “folders” that can slip inside them…I’m using these to write down my contact information (in case I lose my planner in the wild), and some life and work goals that I don’t necessarily want easily visible. I think it makes great use of the space!

Are you using any physical planners this year?

#LTKFindsUnder50

a new way to reflect and plan for 2026 ✨

and just to be clear — I LOVE vison boards and make them yearly….but if you’re looking for a fresh way to creatively plan/journal, I can confirm making a faux magazine is so fun!

I just used a combination of different Canva templates to make mine (although the “what’s in my bag” spread is one I created from scratch to replicate some of my favourite magazine spreads) 🥰

I used to read Seventeen magazine alllll the time growing up, so this diy-session felt super nostalgic to 28-year-old me !

me and my hot foil pen are going to be customizing everything in 2026 😏🔥

unsure how it took me this long to discover a tool like this, but I’m so glad I did (the one I’m using is pretty inexpensive— I found it on Amazon and have it linked in my bio)

I focused on the interior because I’m VERY new to this and did not want to mess up the cover lol

have you ever tried using a hot foil pen (or stamp) before??

A5 LEATHER JOURNAL: to DIY or BUY?

DIY IF:
✅ you have interest in the process (and are okay with doing some research before you commit)
✅ you’re okay if your journal has some imperfections
✅ you want to gift these to friends & family (cost per journal starts to really go down)

BUY IF:
❌ the process sounds more stressful than fun
❌ you won’t ever make another journal again (there’s a lot of tools that may go to waste)
❌ you want professional quality (I think mine look great, but it’s also a basic version without built-in pockets, clean embossing or stitching)

What do you think? Would you DIY, BUY, or PASS on leather journal covers? 👀

handwritten recipes feel so special 🥹💕

this is the @moleskine recipe journal, but I gave it some upgrades using a collection of food stickers from @amazonca and by adding red dividers between each recipe category…..I love the playful energy of it! Makes me feel inspired to bring that same vibe into the kitchen when I’m making new AND beloved dishes 🥰

what’s your system for recording your favourite recipes??

DIY LEATHER JOURNAL

I’ve always wanted a trifold leather journal but after seeing so many tutorials online I realized I wanted to try making it myself!

Plot twist — it’s actually easier than I imagined and SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper to diy this than to purchase one….especially because I bought my leather in bulk so I can make these as gifts! I can do a full price breakdown in another video if you’re interested 👀

I have zero leather-crafting experience, so it’s far from perfect like the ones you’d buy BUT I think it still looks amazing!! I’m so glad I invested time into figuring out how to do this because my world feels opened up to other leather projects now 🙌
