Seriously this journal is a work of art! Clever as well as beautiful… subscribed as I don’t want to miss anything 😊

This is one of the most creative book journals I've seen so far. Great job.

I am totally in love with your journal!! You are so inspirational! I have gotten so many ideas from your journal, layouts, books to read, etc. This is my first year of making a journal, of any kind, and I am doing it because of you. Thank you for making this video!

You are seriously so creative! I LOVE those rewards/loyalty cards! It's so fun to see how people can get so creative and unique with their journals. Love getting inspo from you 😊

I love the imaginative names for your spreads and how they stick so well to your theme. I also like some of your spread ideas (functionally). ❤❤❤

I love the way your new Aeldia spread came out!! The french doors were such a smart idea. And I am obsessed with all the little printouts and cards you made for your Feed the Kraken challenge! It makes me want to try and be more structured with my TBR. So, so good as always!!

love the bear idea turning it into a game board. I'm not this decorative with my journal, but you did a great job making this theme coherent throughout so far. Love the feed the kraken idea lol. If this helps you do the things you're trying to do and have fun, then that's all that matters right!

I was just wondering whether you'll distress the rest of the journal as well. And then you started doing that :D
That bear is such a CUTE idea, ohhhh ❤ Love how the whole Aeldia spread turned out. I am still in a brainstorming stage for mine :D
Your journal is stunning and I will probably comment this on every single one of your videos haha
