So excited to share with you all about the recently concluded Planner/Journal Market (手帐集市）that was held last May 1. This is the third time that I’ve been to this 1-day event but this time around, I was asked to give a 40-minute workshop about decorating with Instax photos, wash tapes, stickers and etc. on the Midori Traveler’s Notebook. This workshop was in Chinese so it was a bit scary for me to give a workshop using a language for which i’m not a native speaker. After deliberating for a long time, I decided on the theme “Happy Little Moments” for everyone to document simple stories that happens everyday in their life.…

Pretty much before 2015 ended, a lot of people would already have clear idea on what choices they have made for their analogue system – planning and documenting. To be honest, I actually had a clear idea back in December. I started with this Stalogy for journaling… (#lifecapturedproject is not continuing in 2016 which is a real pity) But with life taking over most of my waking time, in between, not finding “the’ journal prompts I was inspired to use, this notebook sat empty…up until now… And then in January, I designed a quarterly insert for my regular size fauxdori when my 2015 passport size insert was used up. Still, I was…

A last-minute decision to make a trip to my hometown to visit family was pretty much a blur from the time before we left and the time we came back. If you follow me on IG, I posted about moving to a new apartment, which in itself was a BIG STRESS. The unpacking and the crazy deadlines meant I did not have time to put a lot of time into how I was documenting my trip. I knew it had to be as minimal as possible and would be painless. So I ended up with the 1/2 Trip Traveler’s Factory insert (I had used one before on another trip last year)…

As with all my travels the past few years, I document these as much as I can. On the recent Taipei trip (read here and here), I’ve made the documenting even simpler with only a few basic stuff that I brought with me, packed into my Delfonics Inner Carrying pouch. Here’s a look at the few pages I used inside my handmade leather Traveler’s Notebook system using the 013 insert. Day 1 I cut up brochures I picked up at the airport along with other ephemera from places I could find. I printed small photos when I got back to Shanghai because I forgot to bring my Instax Printer! Day…

This is the second part of the 2-part post of how I documented one of our summer trips. The first part can be found here. For this journal, I made a notebook to go into my Midori Travelers Notebook which turned out thicker than the first part. Which has it’s pros and cons. Srill, I’m quite happy with the way this turned out and so this post is quite heavy with images. Here’s a look at some of the pages: I love this little globe sticker from Midori which I picked up in Osaka last June. And the Ali Edwards tags from the Go Story Kit as perfect opener. I…

My suitcase from the recent trip to the Philippines has not been completely unpacked and then I had to go on a business trip to Yinchuan. As I have not been to Yinchuan before, I decided to take this chance to take my kids along. And of course, I debated on whether I will do a travel journal or not. I’m glad I did! I kept things simple and decided to use a Traveler’s Notebook Refill for a Short Trip with my Passport size Midori Traveler’s Notebook (which I got on sale!). The stuff I brought on previous trips were practically in my suitcase so I just brought them along on…

This is a 2-part post more because I ended up going to my hometown, Tacloban City, twice in July. I initially thought of putting both trips into 1 journal but I decided that on both trips, there will be different events and activities so I made 2. Here’s a look at some of the pages: Thanks for looking.

On every trip during the last few years, I never leave without a travel journal or album with me. Along with a handmade and customized journal or album, I bring along with me a few necessary supplies which has now become more of a ‘standard’ set in a bag. So just want to share with you a few pages from my Japan travel journal which is sized to fit inside my handmade fauxdori (similar to this). The cover uses an old Amy Tangerine paper from the Sketchbook collection. And stitched with alphas on the cover. I finally got to use an old ‘June’ wood veneer which is on the inside…
