Very nice to see you today!

Last week, I shared my version of the Bullet Journal

And because I use a collection of craft supplies for this, I put together a kit also known as my Journaling Box.

This is an empty cigar box which I got for $2.00 last summer at a little shop in Nyack, New York.

I don't smoke but I do appreciate the art of cigar making (I've seen them make it in the Dominican Republic) and the craftsmanship of cigar boxes.

This pretty box is just right for the items that I'll be using everyday of this year.

It houses craft stamps, an ink pad, and washi tape.

I spelled out words with alphabet stamps. You can find a tutorial here.

Because a good pen is a deal breaker, I have a lot on standby.

I can add more items like page flags, sticky notes, and colorful pens later on.

My bullet journal and journaling box make a handsome pair.

  1. I always look forward to your posts! You really scored a winner finding that cigar box for only $2. It's beautiful. It looks so personal and special the way you've filled it with your journaling tools. I have the same retractable pens. They have nice ink that doesn't bleed through my calendar pages.
