Take & Create: Bullet Journaling - Ideas and tips

12/28/2020

0 Comments

 
When beginning a bullet journal, it’s good to have an idea of what you’ll be using it for. Before starting my first bullet journal, I knew that I wanted to use it as a sort of planner for school. By having a set idea of what I would use it for, I was able to plan the layout to cater to my needs best. There was quite a bit of trial and error but it was worth it to find the layout that worked best with my way of thinking. Sure, you can use premade planners or journals, but I have found that going through the notions of organizing my own journal not only helps me better commit my schedule and tasks to memory, but it’s also pretty fun and relaxing!
​

These days, I use my bullet journal to keep track of work-related projects as well as habits that I am trying to keep up with. I even have a separate journal to help with budgeting. Below are some ideas of what you might like to use your bullet journal for.

12/9/2020

0 Comments

 
This is a popular art form that has been passed down through the generations and originated in Mexico. Artists use tin to create sculptures, ornaments, and picture frames. Tin art is produced when pieces of tin are cut, shaped, punched, and embossed with a pattern. 
​

Make an ornament, wall hanging, coaster, table piece, or something just for fun. Keep for yourself or give as a gift to a loved one—the options are endless.
