The Surprising Way CREATIVE JOURNALING Can Reconnect You with Yourself

Great idea! I’m creating a journal with my Cinch!

That's great! Let me know how it goes with you. I look forward to hearing your experiences. Thanks for watching!

I LOVE this!! I’ve been thinking lately about how I’ve moved from my beginning scrapbooking days, where I took such joy documenting special moments, to being worried about all the rules and how my page had to be perfect. The joy was no longer there because the focus had changed. Thank you for this! I can’t wait to find out more.

Hi Wendy, YES, I get what you're saying. The thrill is gone...kinda...but not really! 🙃 I want to enjoy it differently. I'm looking forward to figuring out this new approach. I hope you'll stay tuned and join me. Thanks for watching and commenting!

I’ve been wanting to switch to this type of scrapbooking. I’ve started a couple of Heidi Swapp storyline chapters and I keep dropping off. I think that’s because this is more in the moment scrapbooking and my traditional books are always several years behind so my brain has to make the switch to documenting regularly. Even though I’ve been wanting to, I feel some kind of way about dropping those traditional scrapbooks. I feel guilty even though nobody cares about them but me. I hope this makes sense.

@SandraE_ yes, it makes complete sense what you’re saying. I think you document for yourself. At least that’s how I see it. I want to see the full sweep of my life, how it’s changed, how I’ve evolved. But I also think people will care about your scrapbooks eventually. They will want to know your story as they create their own. I’m not familiar with Heidi Swapp Storyline. I need to look that up. I’m guessing it’s similar. In any case, I’m experimenting with this and seeing how it goes. I don’t know if I will completely abandon traditional scrapbooking, but I want it to be more than buying supplies and not using them.
