I also got a 5 Year Journal and I'm trying to backfill it with information from past years. I'm going through old social media posts, text messages, emails, everything lol. I got mine from Sterling Ink and it's wonderful.
Just went and checked out Sterling Inks website! How do you like the paper? I didn't see a layout pic on their website, is it lined or blank? Have a great day! :)
@@craftyjournal7283 I'm a big fan of Tomoe River Paper! The layout is clearly divided into five boxes on each page, one page per day, and the boxes have grid lines. There's also some blank grid pages in the back for extra notes or reflections.
I wished I had journaled when my kids were little. Life was busy with health troubles with myself and my parents. Anyway, I started an A6 5 Year Hobonichi this February. I love having the extra space on the other side for pictures etc. I purchased a Canon Ivy 2 printed so it is fun to add a few little memories. When I have blank days I am going to add favourite quotes and fun facts about me. We shall see how it goes. New subscriber here and I look forward to watching your content.
I go through periods where I keep up perfectly, then other times will get behind a couple weeks. I will backfill as able but if there is nothing significant from some of the days I don’t stress the blanks.
I love the covers you’ve made for your journals! The patchwork-y style is super cute! I seem to go through phases where I’m consistent with my one line a day for a few months, and then I’ll abandon it for a few months- but this makes me want to pick mine back up again! Esp bc I’m in the middle of job hunting and going back to school and figuring all that out, so it would be nice to document those changes that are coming! 😊 thank you for sharing and congrats on your little one! 🎉
I do like to see when people actually fill these out. But I could never. I tried multiple times, but as soon I am "forced to use it every day", I get annoyed and it goes to the trash. xD
I love your 5 year journal. You have inspired me to start adding more decoration in mine. I haven’t been journaling in my regular journal much lately either so my 5 year and FN (for daily lists, notes, etc.) has been my main focus lately. Thanks for sharing. (@paperedstars)
It's so cool seeing a 5 year that's all filled out! Very inspiring. Also aren't these Flow books just the best?
They are, but they're either crazy expensive to order online or impossible to find.
@@craftyjournal7283 yeah, I'm lucky to live in the country they're made in

Thank you for your comment PJ! Being a parent is so hard and time consuming, so don't beat yourself up about not documenting the early days.

Also, good luck on your job hunt and going back to school!

I feel like that's the case for most people when it comes to these kind of journals/ themed notebooks.
@@craftyjournal7283 yep.
@@craftyjournal7283 Yes, if you can handle it, then you must be special! You have our respect! :D
@@paperwormscat9760 lmao yay for being special!

I hope you share because I'd love to see it :) Going to try out a FN as my next journal as well!
