    I just found your channel and I'm sitting here sobbing. When you search for journaling, all kinds of crazy things come up. My dad passed away in September and I'm journaling multiple times everyday. It's so nice to know I'm not alone. Your videos seem to cover so many feelings, times of year, etc. I also have all the "things" so you're meeting me where I am. I can't thank you enough. PS I just joined the free tier of patreon. I've never tried a group before but this may be a good fit🙂

    Even though I've been journalling for a couple of years I always enjoy having a look at what's current. You gave great advice for beginners! I love the way you discuss everything in a calm, easy to understand manner... You mentioned if we have tips: my only thought is to suggest swatching the pens you have; it gives you accurate colours & also gives you a feel for how the pens work (drying time), ease of use (scratchy or not), whether they bleed through with the Journal you chose. You will then know if the Journal you purchased is suitable for the supplies you have &/or want to use. TFS your wisdom & have a wonderful 2024, regards Sally💜

    Hi. Your channel came up in my feed and I am so glad it did. I am attempting to get started with some type of journaling, memory keeping, commonplace booking, etc. and I am getting inspired watching your content. One of the things in your background that really caught my eye is the wooden tiered stand where you beautifully have your pens displayed and organized. I checked your Amazon storefront but I did not see it there and I also checked the links in some of your videos but I could not find it mentioned anywhere. May I ask you where you got it? Thanks in advance.

    • @MyAbidingJournal
      @MyAbidingJournal  9 месяцев назад +3

      Thank you!! The Canon Selphy doesn't use ink either. When you buy the photo paper, it comes with cartridges that have the exact amount needed to print that number of photos. I've never tried the Sprocket myself, but I do believe the canon selphy will give you better quality prints AND it's a big cost savings per photo because you can print multiple photos on each sheet of 4x6 photo paper instead of paying for each individual 2x3 photo with the sprocket. Hope that helps!

      Yes, I do think you can bring your own paper, including sticker paper, to print shops to get printed there. I would recommend calling ahead and asking if they will print on your paper :) You also can print on plain white paper and use glue or double-sided tape. Many people do that too
