DIY Traveler’s journal: God Girlie edition 🤎🩷🧳✈️✝️

My first handmade traveler’s notebook 🤎📓

Meet Reign 🩷🤎 My all things bible and God go-to❤️‍🩹 she’s an A5 🥰

This one is my firstborn — the very first journal I made when I decided to try creating my own instead of buying one.

There’s something special about the first piece you make. It holds the learning, the patience, and the excitement of realizing you can actually create something with your own hands.

Simple leather, elastic, and a little bit of courage to try something new.

I made three in total… but this one will always be the original 💗

... Read moreCreating my first handmade traveler’s notebook was a truly rewarding journey that deepened my appreciation for both craftsmanship and personal reflection. I chose simple materials like soft leather and elastic bands to keep the design minimalist yet functional, ensuring it could serve as a sturdy companion for my Bible studies and spiritual journaling. The process taught me patience and perseverance. Each stitch and fold felt like a meditation, connecting me closely with my faith as I crafted a physical space to record prayers, thoughts, and important life moments. Naming this journal 'Reign' symbolizes its role as my go-to place for everything related to God and the Bible, making it more than just a notebook but a spiritual companion. I proudly made three journals, but this origination piece remains my favorite. It captures the excitement of trying something new and the transformation that happens when creativity meets courage. Whether you’re a seasoned leathercrafter or a beginner willing to experiment, starting your own traveler’s notebook can be a powerful way to merge art with personal growth. For those interested, embracing a creative process like this can inspire mindfulness and discipline, qualities beneficial beyond crafting. The small yet intentional act of making a handmade journal creates a meaningful artifact, encouraging regular writing and reflection. This type of Christian junk journal blends spirituality with art, resulting in a unique keepsake that supports both prayer life and personal development. If you’re considering creating your own traveler’s notebook, start with simple materials and don’t rush the process. Allow yourself to learn and enjoy the journey. The sense of accomplishment when holding your first journal made with your own hands is unforgettable and opens the door to countless creative projects ahead.

Where To Shop As A Plus Size Girlie
Listen, Issa struggle, I get know! Finding plus size clothing can be so difficult sometimes because most of these brands don’t carry our sizes and when some do, it’s giving “mother of the bride” vibes and no one wants to dress older than they look (no shade)! Us girlies want to wear the sexiest
