Cover Your Journal – Updated
09/13/2013A journal is a personal item so why not personalize yours with some lively decorations. It doesn’t take being an artist. It just takes some imagination. Paint and markers along with some glue and doodads will to the job. The links below are provided as inspiration. Do post your ideas in the comments. I bet you’ve got some good ones.

I love seeing the way other peeps decorate their journals and sketchbooks, however, I leave my covers blank because it warms the cockles of my very OCD heart to see a bunch of solid black books lined up on a shelf.
