Ever since I was a child I have always loved stickers. I remember after my dance classes in elementary school, my teacher would give us a sticker after every lesson. My favorite stickers were the fuzzy ones. To this day, I still love having stickers. I enjoy all kinds of stickers, from the ones I have ordered on Redbubble for my laptop to the really elaborate ones for scrapbooking.
My latest hobby has been journaling. I have always found that getting a new notebook is exciting. However, I was never one to keep a daily log. A friend had gotten me a cute journal, colored pens, washi tape and a Happy Planner sticker book. I consider this the ultimate journaling starter pack.
Before I even began writing anything down, I had already looked through the sticker book and found all of my favorites. I put them on random blank pages throughout the journal. This is just how I use them, because I get really eager and excited.
Whenever I am having a bad day and need to vent, I usually write about how I feel. I do not always write it out in the typical way of a diary entry. Instead I usually dedicate a page to things that make me mad, or however I feel. I tend to like this method better than writing everything out.
Whenever I turn to a page that has a cute sticker on it, I feel myself start to smile. The Happy Planner sticker books are usually pretty pricey at Michael’s, but they ALWAYS have coupons!
I think of myself as being really creative, and so I am always on the hunt to find something that enables me to express myself. Journaling and stickers are just a couple of ways I am able to do that. I hope after reading this, you find something that allows you to show your creative side.
