Road Trip 2019 Journal Pages

I finally got all the road trip pictures edited and my journal started! The first two pages are not finished. Not sure about the third one. The second one will have the route of all the places we traveled through marked when I decide what to use to do it with. The cover is lacking something also. It'll come to me!

In the meantime, I'm ready to start putting in the ephemera I collected during the trip!

I'm using a bought mixed-media journal, and these pages were pasted down with YES paste, after I printed off the free printable maps that I found on Pinterest and copies of my photos of the creative stuff I took with me (see previous post) and the paper mementos that I brought back. I also got to use some of the washi tape that I have been hoarding!

My handwriting is not the best, but I added notes anyway. I used to not let myself do things that I love because I couldn't do them perfectly, but late in life I learned that it doesn't matter if it's imperfect, as long as it makes me happy to do it, whatever it is. So, now I just hoist up my granny panties and dive in!

What are you afraid to do creatively because it might not be perfect? Punch perfect in the nose and go for it anyway. You might be pleasantly surprised! If someone criticizes it, the problem is in them, not you! :)
