[@dawnbrosnan7186]

I am very excited but also nervous never done something like this. I am going to try to do as much as I can. I have made my accordion booklet for July. I have never done anything like this with certain prompts for each day. I kept mine on the smaller side 6” approximately square. I figured less stress filling up a big page but also a little space to write. I have lost my soft brush black pen I write with. I have my husband on the hunt. I also would like to have a white speedball pen and maybe if I can find a pink jelly pen. That goes with the theme. I have a ton of scraps and bigger paper I can use if needed. I loved the idea of adding a short tag and I’m going back to my journal and want to add at least one. Also somehow when making it I glued two pages together so now I have a top loading pocket by chance! Maybe it’s supposed to be there. I don’t know! We will see how it goes! Good luck to everyone!!!!
