As you can see in the photo, the ring binder has a Pocky box as a divider. It’s because I realized that I only had two dividers but I’m effectively in need of one more section. The Pocky box is something I’ve kept for a while, thinking about possibly scrapbooking about snacks but I just had to test out the size of the Pocky box against a page of my personal size binder and it was good enough~! Good for me. And I am reminded of the happy day that I ate that Pocky as a snack.
Sometimes I wonder about buying dividers but I have been enjoying my own personalized dividers since art experiments with washi tape or stickers, even paper cutting became part of my journal despite not practicing washi art nor paper cutting regularly, a good reminder that I once made time for those things.
As for journal pages, using a ring binder is convenient for junk journaling and using scraps of paper that have been glued together to have a page as a refill. I could do that any time I feel like it.
Sometimes using ring binders feels so temporary, but I’m trying to practice archiving every month so that by end of the year or early next year, I could compile all the pages together with bigger rings that could hold the many pages. This is especially true for personal size ring binders because it easily gets chunky when I feel like writing so much.
Anyway, I digress but journaling and exploring my creativity has been such a fun experience. And a little of everything I put in my journal is a reflection of me or at least the state of mind that I had at the moment.
