Completed Journals of 2021 Flip Thru

[@hellodaio]

WOW! Thank you for sharing your journals. It's nice to finally see someone who journals in long-form writing like me. This encourages me so much. Thank you! 👍

[@TheGingerNinjaJournals]

I’m glad I could help encourage you. Thank you for watching. 😁

[@karenlouiseterzonie9323]

@overalladventures has a whole journal flip through of all her journals from school upwards it’s just as interesting as this

[@earnestwonder8703]

[@birthezipfel7502]

They are NOT boring at all! I love your style and it looks so natural- artistic but not artificial!

[@marachristian8726]

Glad to stumble across a video of journals that feature writing more than art! As much as I would love to be an artistic journaler, I am more of a writer, so I reserve most of my crafting and art supplies for scrapbook-type journals and keep it simple for journals where I write down thoughts and experiences. Nice to know I'm not the only one that fills up multiple journals in a year!

[@LaSaundra]

Love seeing your journals and I love your handwriting as well! I mainly just write in my journals so it’s really nice to see someone who journals like I do ☺️ So happy you shared 💜

[@TheGingerNinjaJournals]

Thank you so much. I’m glad to find other primarily writing journalers as well. Okay have you so much for watching.

[@jessicacollins8049]

Holy crap!!! It takes me like 3 years to fill one Leuchtturma5

[@Dariya77]

For me, your journals are very esthetic and actually very real. Because many people don't journal for real, just for decoration. That's why I think your journals are very real, esthetic, and beautiful ❤❤❤😊 keep writing ✍️ 😊 ❤️

[@ferielboukheddache6780]

the hand of your daughter with the things she likes on top made me tear, it's so sweet... your journals are so pretty n inspiring

[@SofiaVicares]

I love your journals so much I also journal in longform alot, often in black ink, i forget to add decorations all the time.

[@mylifeingeneral]

It’s nice to find another writer.

[@lyvsix]

Plain writing to me is way more aesthetic and inspiring than scrapbooks or journals full of stickers. I pit the photos i take or are taken of me to give some visuals to what im talking aboit but I dont like decorating, i use backgrounds with acrylics on some paages nd thats it. But most of it is writing the highlights of my life so i dont have a lot. The same journal can last me 2 or 3 yrs on average.

[@TheGingerNinjaJournals]

I can definitely appreciate that. 😊 I think back in February I ran out of little pictures to glue in, and I didn’t want to waste anymore ink because I use it to print out my girls homeschooling worksheets too, and it’s actually made my journaling feel a bit more “freeing” in some sort of way. How do you do backgrounds with acrylics? Do you journal over it too?

[@kreativeReise]

I'm only at the beginning of the vid and the number of journals is wow...

[@TheGingerNinjaJournals]

I’m on number 63 currently. 😂😂

[@blue.stripesndot3753]

Uuw yess i love this ❤️ What i learned and make me happy after found ur channel is : 1. Do what you love in ur journal I used to force my self to use 1 ink for 1 journal so it would look consistent, and after watched ur video i realized its OK to use diff ink, and yours is so beautiful, so now i really enjoying using diff colors of ink in my journal, LOVE IT ❤️ 2. Without drawing or stickers or washi, journaling can still look gorgeous, personally i really like the vibe of ur journal with lots of writing, and i only realize it now 3. Its ok not to write neatly and its ok to write on the bed on the table, anywhere, u made me realize that its OK. And i really like that. So i put my all in my writing base on my mood that day, and its makes me want to write more ❤️ Thankyou so much for all of ur journaling video, it REALLY HELP ME A LOT ❤️❤️ (Sorry for my english im not good at it)

[@dianerodrigues9253]

Your handwriting is beautiful. It's beautiful because it's effortless. When you look at it, you can feel the thoughts flow onto paper. And that's like magic. ❤️

[@EruditeMeTonight]

Love this so much. I think I get disheartened at the fact that my journals are all just writing, one ink colour and if I’m lucky a doodle, while KZbin and IG is full of aesthetic overload of stickers. This collection of yours is amazing and priceless. Thank you!

[@fairy7101]

I love your nail polish!

[@pushing_the_limits]

Thankyou for sharing your journal , i actually wanted to see what journal actually means , i was fed up by those cute aesthetic meaningless journal Also lots of love to you and your family from INDIA ❤❤😊

[@shaniabrown7710]

I love your videos! I am very picky about the journals I use as I do mainly writing as well. I too will abandon a journal if it doesn't work well with my fountain pens or if I can't find a connection to it! Thank you for sharing!

[@melissaneto9872]

finally someone who journals by writing. It's the way I like it the most but I almost don't find it around, especially on youtube, it's always those journals with collages that are beautiful but so meaningless. I loved the video, very inspiring.

[@dontmicrowavecats]

Hello, just a heads up those are not facial wipes they have rubbing alchol in them which can irritate sensitive skin please don't use them for make-up removal or cleansing or such. We use them for hands mostly after meals when eating out. They get rid of grease and oil. But they do smell amazing it's my favourite brand too! And I love your journals, I prefer smaller ones but journal pretty much the same way. Just writing with my favourite ink and fountain pen, maybe I'll stick something here and there. I like to think of it as recording my own history😊

[@purposebehindthepen]

I am an author, who has numerous journals and I love seeing what other people use for their journals. I still have a trunk full of them.

[@helenaekblad1909]

Wow, what do you say you had a bad handwritning, that is beautiful.

[@erikaf1215]

Omg I don't know why you say there's really nothing to see in your journals. I enjoyed these flip through's so much. There are elements of surprises as you flip through the pages. I wish I would of started journaling a long time ago. I am so glad i came across your channel and look forward to see your videos. This video really inspired me to really start writing more.

[@TheGingerNinjaJournals]

You have just made my day. Thank you so much.

[@MandaFandaa]

Your dedication to journaling is admirable. Thank you for sharing these. Very satisfying and inspiring.

[@TheGingerNinjaJournals]

Thank you for watching. 😁

[@heathermattern]

This was so fun to watch!! I can’t wait to see what 2022 brings regarding your journals. 😊

[@just__celia]

Just found your channel. I love seeing your journals! All the writing!❤️

[@InsideKimmysMind]

Such nice flip-throughs. :) Sorry to hear about your friend's passing. But it's nice to hear about how he helped you with your first fountain pen. Dromgoole's is fantastic! I do not live far, so I sometimes have to keep myself from visiting too often. Also, your no more lazy dogs quote is so cute! I love hearing about other lines that use every letter.

[@jacquelinejournals]

Lol at the military journal: my husband got me a rite in the rain notebook and cover

[@TheGingerNinjaJournals]

Let me know how those work out.😃

[@karencolum]

Your handwriting is beautiful!!!! Very inspiring and your excitement is contagious. Love to hear in a future video on what benefits you’ve experienced from your journaling, if that goes with your goals for your channel.

[@carolynmarshall1968]

🇬🇧 I find the cheaper journals are the best (for me anyway) I normally pick mine up from the supermarket when shopping 📚

[@laurenskordas333]

Great video. Your journals are so inspiring. I have always tried to make my journals a little bit aesthetic, but as I write more I am trying to do less of the that, and do more of what I enjoy which is write. Its helpful for me to think that the journal is for me and me only; they don't need to look like the journals you see on pinterest and instagram so much. Also, I do not know what I have would have done if I had started journaling more over covid. I subscribed to you!. Hope your week is going well and ya'll are staying safe from covid.

[@Pansorie]

Thank you so much! I am trying to do my regular preferred size (b6) and then a small insert size in a field notes size TN. I think doing that will help break up going from one daunting size to the next. Love the video!

[@TheGingerNinjaJournals]

Thank you!! I’d love to know how it works out for you. 😃

[@cecirimi]

I went online and bought their Turkish tea. Love it. Great writing projects.

[@TheGingerNinjaJournals]

I’m glad you liked it too! 😀 Thank you.

[@Vidasenredisla]

Thank you for this awesome vid, greeting from Spain, here another journal freak from my early times.

[@SterlingInk]

Loved this video! I at first was so shocked to hear you had kids because you sounded so youthful and I thought you were in your early 20s, and then you said "my grandkid"...... hahaha. Thank you so much for sharing this I loved this video :)

[@MrsRaquelPerezASMR]

Your journal reaembles mine. I'm more interested in the writing. I decorate with a couple of stickers. Where we differ is that I love cream colored pages and you don't. But the cream coloried pages pair well with my stickers, and I see less ghosting with the cream.

[@katsmith8263]

👍👍👍Wow, you write so big and skip lines, that's why you have so much! I use a traveler's notebook from trsveler's company, and write really small. I probably won't fill that much in a looong time

[@TheGingerNinjaJournals]

I want SO bad to write small. I even practice it, but in the heat of the moment, my writing ✍🏻 is huge. I wish I could naturally write smaller though.

[@purposebehindthepen]

Thank you for showing the military journal. I am still in.

New subscriber from Heather :) I cannot wait to catch up & watch all of your videos!!! So happy to be here

[@TheGingerNinjaJournals]

EEEEKK! Fangirling now. 😂

[@calicola1996]

Your handwriting is really nice tbh, compared to mine! Hahahaha. I love the doodles you make. :)

[@ThaBloodWitch]

Is it just our area, or has Exceed stopped offering so many colors? Such disappointment! But your commentary on Archer & Olive made me laugh. I haven't tried the Artist's Loft 2 because I know I can't deal with that paper, let alone 160gsm. Love the original Artist's Loft though. I'm much too chicken to try the rolling thing with the Leuchtturm. Them suckers cost too much! 😅

[@ilananl1004]

Nice to see, thanks for sharing. If you don't like blank pages in Endless Recorder why don't you try a ruled or a dotted one?

[@TheGingerNinjaJournals]

I’m definitely going to retry with a ruled one once I’m able to buy it again. 🙂

[@IamCandiceKC]

Love your journal flip throughs! I noticed you left the back pages blank in several notebooks that you consider "used", even the ones you mention enjoying. Is there a particular reason you avoid using all the pages?

[@TheGingerNinjaJournals]

I always leave a few pages at the end so that when I go back and reread my journals, I can add in new thoughts about what I was going through at the time, how things have changed and such.

[@AvecPoesie]

Wow, approximate how long does it take you to complete each Journal? Write ✍

[@tammyd4208]

Amazing! I’m so inspired. I was all set to start my cafe notes nanami journal but decided to wait. I jumped into my new Tekukor Tomoe River Paper journal with blank paper. I was going to just use it for handwriting practice but decided to use it for journaling too. I’ve not used an unlined journal in forever but I’m liking the freedom of it so far. We’ll see as I use it more regularly. 😉 Besides the issue of the Leuchtturm being plain, unlined how did you like the paper? Did it come with a line spacing guide?

[@TheGingerNinjaJournals]

The Leuchtturm didn’t come with a line spacing guide. I just opened my last one, a yellow one to use as a journal for a book I’m reading, but other than the pages being blank, I like the B6 Leuchtturm just fine. I need to try a Tekukor too!! Need to put that on my list as well. ☺️

[@tammyd4208]

@@TheGingerNinjaJournals sweet! I don’t think the Tekukor is as good of quality as Nanami cafe notes or even Leuchtturm notebooks, but I am kinda okay with that. I wanted a journal I could play in and not feel it was too precious to make mistakes in 😂, so it’s a way to ease into my other journal notebooks I have stashed, a stalogy and the nanami cafe notes. Love seeing all your journals, pens, and inks. I had added a message to you on another post, I don’t think you saw it though. I was talking about how teary I got ending my last journal, some very big things happened to me that I journaled through, so it was hard to let go and start another journal. Have you ever felt emotionally attached to one or a few of your journals?

[@TheGingerNinjaJournals]

@@tammyd4208 oh yes. I have one particular journal where while I was in it we learned a very horrible thing that our oldest daughter had gone through and never told us. She’s 15. You might be able to guess. I poured my soul into that journal. I ruined pages with ink and tears, ripped out pages in anger and then taped them back in. It’s been two years and that’s the one journal I’ll never share on here. It’s WAY too raw and even just holding it fills me with sorrow and rage. I believe we leave bits of our spirit energy in every item that we handle or exist with daily that’s precious to us. All my journals are precious to me, but THAT journal will always be one I want to burn, but also keep forever, if you know what I mean. She’s okay now. Still in therapy and since we homeschool now, she’s safe, knows she’s loved and that we’ll keep her that way.

[@tammyd4208]

@@TheGingerNinjaJournals oh Clare, my heart goes out to you and to your sweet girl. I’m so glad she has you and your loving family to always pour into her and to show her how much she is loved, cherished and worth and that nothing: circumstance, situation, time, or trauma can take that away. Love is always the most powerful. Thank you for sharing your life and being so deeply raw and personal. 💕💕💕

[@chickpea734]

wow you fill journals so quick! how do you find the time and how do you always have something to write about?! enjoyed this video😍

[@TheGingerNinjaJournals]

I have something called hypergraphia. It’s a type of ocd- obsessive need to write ✍🏻 and the compulsion pretty much has taken over my days and nights. It’s not fun all the time. Sometimes I want so desperately to stop, but I can’t. I’ll be doing another video very soon talking about hypergraphia and how I deal with it daily. I’m glad you liked my video. Thank you for watching!

[@urmomincloset]

ALL IN ONE YEAR?? How the heck do you store these. I have about 10 from the past 7 years and I have nowhere to put them

[@TheGingerNinjaJournals]

I have all my complete ones on two shelves of one of my bookshelves.

[@BeradadisiniVlog]

oh wow this is soooo satisfying :)

[@siennablack4690]

I am curious as to how you come back to all the paper you don't use in these notebooks? Do you use it for art projects or to-do lists? Or do you just end a journal when it feels right, rather than when the pages run out? :)

[@TheGingerNinjaJournals]

I have lately been using a lot of the paper in the backs of my old journals in my Bible for taking notes on. Works out great.

[@connieammerman8302]

Just came across your channel. I’m thinking about starting a writing journal. If you don’t mind me asking what types of things do you write in your journals? I struggle with anxiety but I want to be positive, somehow need to find a balance🤷‍♀️

[@TheGingerNinjaJournals]

Anything and everything that goes through my head, exactly as it comes. It’s not all prolific words. It’s primarily me writing about each and every little thing that happened during the day. Things that are stuck in my head. Emotions I’m trying to process. Everything goes in my journal. Boring and not so boring.

[@jeffthejournaler4894]

Btw I got a part 1 of my journal collection up on my channel if all the journals i filled so far!!I'm hoping you'll see it later when u get a chance!I love all your video's and your journal flipthroghs tbh not all my journals are filled with writing sadly and I feel bad cause i like to write alot my current journal is actually all writing tbh!and u inspire me!😍😍
