COMPLETED Creative Journal Flip Through

[@joshdlow]

I'm crying. I randomly came across your video and I am sitting here in tears. I just lost my Dad 3/13/23 and I am really leaning on my journal to help me through my grief process. I just want to say thank you. You inspired me to Journal about my Dad and it's okay to cry. ~ Shayne

[@MyAbidingJournal]

So sorry for your loss Shayne - journaling is a beautiful way to process your grief and keep your dad’s memory alive ☺️ sending love!

[@Cocacabanabudgets]

My sincere condolences. I hope that your journal turns into a beautiful tribute to your dad.

[@Patricia.R.]

So,so sorry you lost your dad. I hope you’re journaling, and finding peace in the process and relishing in sweet memories. Bless you Shayne❤️

[@marion5641]

I loved how you sprinkle little advices here and there. We can really feel your passion for journaling through the screen. It's very inspiring !

I just stumbled across your channel when searching for creat8ve journaling and adore what is to me a fresh creative way to journal. Really enjoy seeing your talents and am hooked on watching more of your videos. Thank you for sharing something so personal that inspires others. It has inspired me. ~Michelle 🇨🇦

[@exoticjournalista8613]

I love your journaling style. I am sorry for your loss and yes journaling really helps. Much love❤. Need more flip through. I journal when I can or when I feel creative.

[@andreaKC703]

Thank you for posting this. I’ve been looking for ways to document my life and be a “memory keeper”. Your video is so helpful. Thank you for sharing your heart with the world.

[@ArleneAdkinsZell]

Thank you for sharing your lovely journal, the whys, hows and inspiration.

[@MyAbidingJournal]

Thank YOU for watching! ❤

[@jessicacoley8745]

i love your style of journaling, i lost my mom in 2008 and documenting about her is something i want to do. so sorry for your loss.

[@MyAbidingJournal]

Thank you Jessica. So sorry for your loss too. ❤

[@noemialonso8231]

Precioso y emotivo homenaje a tu madre. Gracias por compartir e inspirarnos❤

[@tonyasnyder7873]

You are such an inspiration and THANK YOU for sharing! I have always wanted to journal and you have shown me that it doesn't have to be in a specific way. I am sorry for the loss of you mom but you are shining her light in your journals. Again; thank you for sharing.

[@MyAbidingJournal]

Thank you so much Tonya 🫶 yes there is definitely no right way to journal!

[@sharonoverman8260]

I’m so impressed with this journal. Not a junk journal, but the story of your 2022 life. After seeing this I will be looking at your Patreon program to get your printable. Thank you for sharing.❤

[@MyAbidingJournal]

Thanks so much Sharon! ☺️

[@missrivero6535]

In love with your journals and creativity. Lovely and amazing!

[@sheryl1009]

Great big huggles!!! You will really appreciate what you put down about your mom, especially later in your life. Put down things when you remember them. God bless your heart sweety.

[@poisonlady1965]

Keep on doing it…I love it when I have those few spare moments to just document all the stuff even if it’s just brain dumping or is just the really good stuff…it all matters.

[@The76401Wallaces]

This type of journaling is AMAZING and I am inspired! THANK YOU!

[@isirlasplace91]

I'm so moved by your openness and vulnerability!! I'm a single mom of 2 and I'm almost 50 so this hit home quite a lot but in reverse. I'll be sure to document my thoughts better so my girls can read my journals and share in our memories. Your mom is so proud of you!!💝

[@MyAbidingJournal]

Thank you so much ☺ your girls will love looking at your journals

[@sassynaturals]

Hands down you are the best creative journaler on youtube. Your art always inspires me❤

[@MyAbidingJournal]

Awe thank you so much ☺️

[@sarahk802]

Wow, your journal is beautiful. Seeing it, I instantly know we would be good friends! My heart goes out to you. You honor your mother by continuing this art form and sharing the passion you both shared with others. As a therapist, I am always recommending journaling for emotional processing and savoring positive moments to cultivate joy and gratitude. I lost my father suddenly in 2015. Life will never be the same, but it can still be beautiful. You have inspired me to create a journal just for preserving my memories of him, and letters I write to him on holidays and anniversaries. Thank you! I wish you continued healing.

[@MyAbidingJournal]

Thank you so much Sarah. That sounds like a beautiful way to remember your dad.

[@aprildoucette9552]

I love the pages you've done for your mom. I am so sorry for your loss. I am sorry if that's hard to read. My mom's been struggling with cancer for over a decade. I am praying for you. Xo

[@suehy4054]

This style of journaling fits me perfectly. I’ve been trying to squeeze myself into the junk journaling model, and it keeps coming out like this! So glad I found your channel! I look forward to watching in the future and also the back episodes! So happy! 😊

Hi Kelsey! I've just recently discovered your channel and so appreciate you sharing - not only your art, but your heart as well. ... for me, this is what my creative journaling process is becoming like. I've very recently just started a youtube channel, but haven't shared my personal entries as I'm finding they are just too personal, but that's where I am in life right now ... processing. I'm so sorry for the loss of your mom - at such a young age too 💗 Love and hugs. Faith's Paper heART aka Nava.Sapphire

[@MyAbidingJournal]

Thank you! :)

[@bluelips14]

i love your handwriting! i hate how mine is so i keep my journaling short

[@MyAbidingJournal]

I use to dislike my handwriting too. Practicing handlettering and brushlettering really helped me. I also think our handwriting is beautiful just because it is uniquely ours!

[@JennyCoyote]

Hi, I was wondering how you go about getting your photos in there. Are these prints that you send away for? Stickers you make? Maybe you have a photo printer of some kind at home? Thank you for the helpful info!

[@MyAbidingJournal]

Hi Jenny, yes I print them at home, usually right from my phone. I make a collage using an app on my phone and then send to my at-home printer. Currently using an epson ecotank 8500, but previously I uses a canon selphy and loved it

[@lida8433]

Beatiful, my life is so boring so coldn t document anything.😂

[@eagleriver7863]

Love it!

[@sallymitchell6423]

Is a lot of your memory keeping done retrospectively (as opposed to on the day)? I wonder how you manage to gather photos etc so quickly otherwise

[@MyAbidingJournal]

Yes it is often retrospective, but I also print all my photos at home (usually right from my phone), so I can also journal the day-of when the mood strikes :)

[@pine_and_pen]

This was so inspirational and vulnerable, thank you so much for sharing with us! The tribute page to your Mom was especially beautiful and emotional. Also, your cursive penmanship is absolutely stunning 😍 love your videos!

[@eternalabundance39]

In the beginning of video looked like you were working on a mini journal and was clear too, do you have a link for that video about it?

[@MyAbidingJournal]

I bought it from stationery pal. There's a haul on my channel where I share it :)

[@SonshineLady7]

Is this journal a larger one? I recall watching a video where the person ordered 8"x10" (approx) moleskin journals and challenged herself to document each day. That seemed like a fantastic idea (although I don't do much in one day) so I ordered the 3-pack of that size moleskin journals and have done absolutely......nothing. Nor with my Hobonichi Cousin Techo....or ummm....the TN (two sizes!!!!) Anyway, wanted to see if you were the person referenced above. I so enjoy your journals.

[@MyAbidingJournal]

I did do two years where I journaled every day, once in 2018 and again in 2021, and have flip throughs here on my channel, so it might have been me? not sure! But I'm glad you're enjoying my videos. This journal is a moleskine XL cahier notebook :) linked in my amazon shop

[@MorphisMoneyMakeover]

What size journal is this?? I'm very curious because I'd like to do this type of memory journalling for my 2024....

This is a moleskine XL cahier notebook. I have them linked in my Amazon shop :)

[@sammcdonough9473]

What a beautiful journal! What do you use to print your photos? I currently do printing at the library but looking to invest in something I can do at home. Thanks

[@MyAbidingJournal]

For a long time I used a canon selphy. I now have an epson eco tank 8500 printer. Both are great options but the canon selphy is definitely more beginner friendly if you only need a printer for printing photos

[@aaas6348]

Hey how did you print those pictures out clearly? Normal printer?

I have an Epson ecotank 8500 printer and typically print on glossy or satin photo paper

hi ! have you ever had issues finishing a journal ? i’m 100 pages through a 200 page journal and finally found my style / lay out. but i hate how the beginning looks and i want to start all over again :’) but i feel like i should ride it out to finish it fully. but im not sure and trying to think of ways to fill pages quicker ! 🤍

I would recommend staying in it because it’ll be a beautiful display of how your style has grown and changed once you finish it. Every stage of the process is a beautiful reflection of you! We all started somewhere ☺️

[@catiestilinski]

I'm not sure if you're aware, but the last quote is a piece by Morgan Harper Nicols! She has books and lots of online art, and most of her poetry is short and perfect for journaling, and they are about self love and the power of God's grace! If you haven't checked out her work, or if anyone has stumbled upon this comment, I highly recommend checking her out!

[@MyAbidingJournal]

Thank you! Yes I realized that only recently. I follow her on IG and always love her art and poetry.

I’m so sorry you lost your mom so young. She was young, and you were too. My mom was 52 yrs old when she passed, and she died September 19th.

Your journal experience, has made me want to pick up journaling again.

I am the memory keeper in the family as most are just happy with pics on the phones…which is fine too. I did have one sister get upset because I had “early access” to go through our mom’s pics about five years before she passed away/. I only took my pics but left a couple of extra when possible in case any of them wanted them. I left all pics that were theirs although the few extras were nabbed by me. My mom knew i was a memory keeper and feared dying but wanted the memories to continue.

[@tayfunisk6400]

Hello 🎉

[@thoughtnuggetswraquelperez4153]

Your way of journaling most resembles mine because I like a little visual interest, but I'm more interested in the writing. Only thing where we're different is that I'm a little categorized, so I have specific journals for different things. I have a Mourning Journal dedicated for my mom. I have an Insight Journal which is kinda like a commonplace book. I have a Planner Journal for regular life tidbits. I have a Financial Journal for keeping track of financial struggles and goals. I have a Reading Journal too. Just like grouping by interest. Enjoyed your video.

[@MyAbidingJournal]

Those all sound great! I’ve started to divide mine up a little bit more this year and am enjoying it so far ☺️ I like your idea of a journal dedicated to your mom

[@carries9920]

I was randomly searching for journaling guidance here on YT and I came across this video. This is exactly what I needed. I am thinking about starting a couple different kinds of journals and I feel like this video can help me sort through what I was visualizing in my head. It is also helping me feel more comfortable about going with an open and freeform style so I can include pictures, clippings, stickers, doodles, etc. whenever I feel inspired to do so. Thank you for making this video. I especially appreciate when you spoke about the loss of your mother and showed how you are including her in your journaling. My heart goes out to you and I am so sorry that you are going through such a difficult loss. I was thinking of including notes about lost loved ones in one of my journals, so your video feels like a confirmation that I should do that. Thanks again for sharing this with us! I hope you are having a wonderful day. ☺
