First post :)

Hi everyone! I've kept a journal off an on throughout my life. Lately it feels more important to record my thoughts and I have several journals depending on what I'm writing about. I don't write a whole lot, but I aim to change that. :)

This one is my most absolute favorite journal - a refillable Italian leather tree journal. It is really a much darker green than what the picture shows:



And now for the whole collection:



The green one closed with dowels is one I've had for nearing on 10 years and am never happy with anything I put in it. I'm contemplating ripping out the few pages with writing in there and starting something different with it - yet again.

The blue striped, small lotus, and the larger cream colored journals all contain variations of a book of shadows. The striped one is actually a re-write of what is contained in the lotus journal because I ran out of space. :X

The purple journal was a birthday gift from a friend and is yet untouched. It's too pretty! I don't want to mess it up...

The green journal is where I have been writing more mundane insights regarding daily life. The Tara spiral-bound journal is for deeply personal spiritual insights and only gets written in on occasion.

I love crafty discussion. So far this seems like a very interesting community!

The green one is really beautiful! And I totally know what you mean about blank journals being far too beautiful to write in!

Thanks! There is a company that sells them on Amazon here. They're on special now, I paid full price for mine at the time.

Your journals are so pretty! (And I know what you mean about not writing in blank ones, too - I have several that I can't bring myself to usse just yet. XD)

Thank you! :)

Do you often refill the green tree journal? I've thought about getting refillable journals before, but I'm not sure.

And I love that lotus journal! It's so pretty!

Thanks!

I haven't had to refill the tree journal yet - I've probably only used 30 or so pages out of it so far. The refills are not that expensive, but I can only seem to find them on Amazon.
