Flower arranging Journal
Keep a journal with ideas about flower arranging using plants and flowers from your own garden. Sketch in the basic shapes of the arrangements. Make lists of flowers that look great grouped together. Make a list of flowers that you need to plant to improve your flower arrangements for the future. A list of plants that produce good cut flowers, greenery and fill-in's. Journals with hand painted designs
A Sewing Journal
If you consider yourself a bit of a seamstress, always making clothes for family and friends. Keep a small square swatch of each fabric you use and either a photo or sketch of the finished garment. When you get old, this will be great to look back on. The grandkids will also be facinated with the fashions of the day. Journals with floral designs
Start a Memory Journal
Memories come back to us when we least expect it. Keep a journal next to your bed, or in your purse ready to jot down all those lovely positive memories that pop into your head. Journals with marble patterns
Think about it!
Those puzzling questions that baffle our brains deserve to be recorded in a journal. For instances ... "Think about it!" ... Why are siblings sometimes so different from each other! One mild mannered and shy and the other outgoing and aggressive. Sometimes the look pretty much alike, but the seem to be born with their own individual traits. Why? Keep A Recipe or Cooking Journal
Keep notes about recipes that you use often in one place. Write down all those recipes that friends and family share with you. Keep notes of conversions, and special measurements that make your life easier. For instance, my measureing cup filled to the brim is equal to 1 1/8 cups. or which settings are best for your bread machine when using it to make pasta dough. Keeping information organized helps to make life easier. Journals with gorgeous pictures
Start a "My Dreams" Journal
Write down your dreams and plans for the future. Paint a picture with words on how you want your life to turn out. Design your life. Add pictures, sketches, and photos to make your future come alive for you. Record your dream job, your dream salary, your dream house, your dream partner, your dream honeymoon and what you would do to change the world for the better. Journals with fruit and vegetable designs.
Make a Gift Scrapbook for someone you love.
Because these journals have blank pages (no lines) the make wonderful little scrapbooks. Use all the usual scrapbook techniques, embellishments, scrapbook frames etc. to decorate your pages. Theatre tickets, movie passes, invitations, photos etc. Add other decorations that are there just to make the pages pretty such as cutouts from magazines, bits of fabric or hand made paper. Journals with plaid or tartan designs

A "Guestbook" Journal
A journal make a lovely guestbook for a special function such as a wedding, an anniversary or annual family gathering. You could also have a guestbook that is always near the entrance to your home ready for any new visitors to write in. Keep a nice pen handy. Journals with crackle patterns
A Journal as a Wedding Planner
A journal is wonderful to use for planning a wedding. Keep all your notes in one place on the pages of the journal. Keep lists such as the guest list, ideas for the menu and wine etc. Shops that have gorgeouse wedding dresses. A list of the best caterers. Ideas about which car or whose car you will arrive and leave the church in. Things that you just MUST remember etc. Places to go on your honeymoon. Cut ideas from magazined and paste them on the blank pages of the journal. After the wedding, add some of the best memories and keep the journal forever. Journals with beautiful lace patterns
A Baby Shower journal.
Record all the memories of a baby shower in a special journal. The guests can sign one or two of the pages. The other pages can be used like a scrapbook with photos of the gifts and party activities. Photos of the party decorations are nice to keep as well. Journals with patterns - Softer colours
Use a Journal as an Autograph Book
Good old fashioned autograph books were very popular when I was in my early teens. (Back in the 60's) It is always nice to look back on autographs from friends and family that were written years and years ago. Autographs don't have to be from famous people. Just from the people you care about. Journals with patterns - Multi-colours
Planning a very special Party or Event?
A journal is a great way to keep all your plans, menues, theme ideas, table layouts, guest lists etc. When the party is over, then you can add some photos of the event and write in your thoughts and memories to keep forever. Make notes of what you could have improved on to use for the next event. Journals with patterns - Shades of blue
A Knitting Journal
Keep a journal with your favourite knitting patterns. Keep a record of the measurements of family members that you love knitting things for. Jot down their favourite colours and textures. Keep snippits of yarn from all the things you ever knitted and make a note of the dates and who for. This type of journal will make a wonderful conversation piece when you finally show it to your grandkids. Journals with patterns - Shades of aqua
Things to do today!
My favourite journal is my "Things to do today" journal. Even though I usually write in it late at night as a means of planning the next day. It helps me organize my thoughts and set priorities. Make a list of all the things that need to be done first, then on the next page, put them in order of importance. Journals with patterns - Shades of green.
