When whimsy strikes

Someone asked me what I would use my 'Whimsy Journal' for. Well, it is totally for whimsy! I jot down ideas as I think of them, so that I don't forget. I keep it nearby so that when inspiration strikes (and it can be any time of night or day!) I can quickly put the idea to paper.
I print off photos of quilts & artworks that inspire me & stick them in my journal.
And generally just doodle about! It is fun & just for me. 
Weirdly, I am at my most 'whimsical' & come up with my best ideas when I am feeling a bit sad & introspective! So the journal is always close at hand at those times.
And the little girly on the front never fails to make me smile!

  8. I love your journal and it is such a great idea! I often save pictures of things I like and then I forget where I put them! I am going to have to get a journal to start keeping things in!
