My August Bullet Journal Setup
July 31, 2016
Crazy to believe it but this marks about a YEAR of me blogging about the bullet journal and hand lettering. I started this endeavor a year ago as a way to add my voice to a budding bullet journal community through the #PlanWithMeChallenge. Over the next twelve months I could not have anticipated what would unfold for me. This community has given me so much and it’s time to celebrate with a giveaway!
I’ve learned so much about not only the community but myself as well. There were things I NEVER imagined would be possible and day after day it slowly was. It only makes sense to go back to my roots for this giveaway – featuring Foxy Fix, May Designs, and JetPens. Once I settled on the traveler’s notebook system, I discovered and loved Foxy Notebook covers as an easy way to organize my chaos. Inside, I put the beautiful May Designs inserts, and used a whole new world of pens I discovered on Jetpens.com. And now you’ll have a chance to win that bundle for yourself!
PRETTYPRINTS&PAPER BLOGIVERSARY PRIZE
The winning bundle includes:
- Foxy Notebook Cover in Rowena, Classic No 8 (perfect for an A5!)
- Foxy Dashboard
- $50 May Designs shop credit to customize your own notebooks
- $25 Pretty Prints Shop credit to use once my shop opens in a couple weeks!
- Some of my favorite goodies from JetPens, including: Pilot Juice pens, a roll-up pen case, Pentel Sign brush pen, Tombow Fudenosuke soft tip, Staedtler Fineliners, Stabilo Fineliners
HOW TO ENTER:
- The Instagram policies effective June 1 made it more difficult for giveaway widgets like these because they won’t allow for Follows on Instagram – so I’m trying my best to make those things clear in how to enter below – thanks for your grace!

Happy Blogoversary! Congrats on reaching this awesome milestone. Wishing you many more years of getting to follow your passion. Thanks for this awesome giveaway. And now for my question…what is your biggest frustration about bullet journaling?
Thank you for this opportunity! I have been wanting to start bullet journaling, but keep getting overwhelmed with where to start. Your journals are so beautiful, thanks for your inspiration!
Thanks for all your thoughts on Bullet Journal-ing. I like the thought of a traveler’s style notebook but currently am using a Leuctturm1917 A5. What do you think are the advantages of an TN vs. not?
Happy Blogiversary. 😀 Thank you so much for the opportunity. Your pages are gorgeous.
Cool! And Happy Anniversary!!
What is the best way to start learning hand lettering? My handwriting is horrible in real life so how can I change that with hand lettering?
I am so excited! Happy Anniversary!
Happy Anniversary!!!!
Congrats on reaching 50k!
My question is: What was your first encounter with calligraphy?
Happy anniversary! How do I choose a bullet journal from all the choices? I can’t abandon my Erin Condren planner! Too many cute notebooks! Augh!
Happy blogaversary! As a fellow blogger, my question is, what is the main thing you attribute most to your success? 🙂
Thank you so much for a chance to win. I am just starting to learn lettering and appreciate your help.
Happy Anniversary! Thank you for the opportunity for your generous giveaway! I’m super excited for the possibility of my first TN I’ve been desiring. Really enjoying your blog and helpful tips, as well as your beautiful layouts. Bujo has helped me tremendously feel less scattered and more accomplished. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
~Congratulations Jessica 😀 on your first year. I wish you all the very best for the coming years and your shop 🙂 The journal community has grown so much in the past few months! And it’s great that you all are such amazing people. I simply journal and love seeing and learning from your creative posts.
The notebook cover is so beautiful <3
Congrats on 50k, love! And thanks for this opportunity (: my question for you is, do you have any suggestions on books to help with practicing lettering/calligraphy? Also, any sites and whatnot as well?! xoxo
You’re so generous! Congratulations to you! My question: How do you decide what to change when you feel like a spread isn’t working for you? Like when you know something is just a little off, but can’t quite figure out what would make it better?
So excited for this giveaway. Thanks!
Congrats and thanks for the the chance to win these super goodies!
CONGRATULATIONS! I am so excited about the challenge. I am looking forward to completing all 31 days for August. Question: DO you have to use a brush pen for brush lettering? How do you come up with new elements for a spread?
Congrats on your well deserved success! Love your blog!
what a great giveaway, thanks for the chance!!!!
Congratulations! I recently discovered bullet journaling and am so excited to *fingers crossed* organize my messy life. My question is what are some tips you have for a notoriously disorganized artist-type like myself to keep on track with a bullet journal? I’ve tried using different one-size-fits-all planners before and I never keep up with them.
Congratulations on 50k!
Congratulations on 50K. I’m new to bullet journaling and trying to get everything set up. Through reading your older blog posts, I notice that you use a separate bujo for work. Do you find it helpful to use a separate bullet journal for work and for personal, or do you end up repeating a lot of information?
Hey! thanks for the awesome opportunity. A question: I’m trying to learn brush lettering. I got myself a cheap brush-pen set (by CrownArt), but I’m starting to think they’re too soft for a beginner. Do you have any suggestions, preferably that won’t break the bank? Thanks again!
Happy anniversary! Thank you for this great opportunity for the giveaway and also to ask questions. I’m a HS teacher making the transition from SpEd back to the classroom to teach double-block math to students that did not pass their state assessment for Algebra 1 last year. Since I’m also new to bullet journaling, do you have suggestions for using the bujo to help with planning?
So excited about this giveaway! I love all of these products, but especially May Designs!!!
Congratulations on your year anniversary! Love following you on IG! Fabulous giveaway!
Great giveaway! I am switching to a TN bext month because of what you do!
Great giveaway! I really like your YouTube videos, you’re an inspiration.
Congratulations on such an amazing milestone! Can’t wait for this giveaway!
Amazing giveaway, thank you so much!! Massive congratulations on hitting this milestone 😄
Happy anniversary!! Thank you for this wonderful giveaway!! My question to you is why you choose the Travelers notebooks over all the other wonderful journal notebooks out there? I too use the traveler’s notebooks & I think they’re excellent!
Have a wonderful anniversary! I’ve gotten into the art of bullet journaling thanks to you and few other bloggers. Thank you for this amazing giveaway!
Congratulations on a year of inspiration to all of us!
Congrats on the blogiversary and reaching 50K! Thanks for sharing the love. <3

Hi! Do you ever use printed layouts in your bullet journal or do you always draw up your own?
Happy blogiversary! I have only been bullet journaling for about a month and I have found your blog to be so helpful in getting started! I would love to see a post focused on the collections you have!
Happy Anniversary! Thank you!
love your site. you’re an inspiration to me and my kids, who want to improve their penmanship – at ages 6 and 8!

Hello, Thank you for the opportunity with this giveaway and congratulations on reaching such an exciting milestone. I started bullet journaling last year as a way to cope with stress and to my surprise keeping such an organized schedule while also being creative has not only been a joyous endeavor but also an extremely beneficial part of my coping strategy. I am really glad I came across your blog when I did. It’s helped me tremendously. My question is: Do you feel that you can make mistakes with bullet journaling and if so what mistakes do you feel you made when you first started out?
What advice would you give for someone who wants to learn calligraphy?
Thank you!!
Can’t wait until your store opens
What advice would you give to a “newbie” in the bullet journal world?
Congrats on your anniversary as well as your 50k on Instagram!
You are such an inspiration, I can only hope to have pages half as nice as yours someday!
Congratulations on your Anniversary! I really enjoy your work & I hope to start the August Handwriting Challenge even though I’m a total newbie. And what a generous & fun giveaway, someone will be very lucky to win!
What an amazing achievement, and an amazing competition!
