What a beautiful and simple way to customize your journal! Thanks for sharing.
I’m completely addicted to bullet journaling. It takes practice to find the perfect layout for every page ^^, <3
There’s a lot of learning, failing, and experimenting for sure! Do you have a favorite page or function?
Has it lasted on the journal?
