(Ignore the random marks on the cover, that was from ink accidentally smearing on the cover from my fingers as I was writing.) The 5×8 inch Spicebox Journal came as a 2-pack with 176 pages each book (only pictured is my green journal). I started this journal in July 2011 and finished in Mid-January 2012.

Going to do some reviews of tools I use for my creativity. 🙂 Just for my personal progress and for fun. 😀 ) I wanted to start a journal this year (2011) but didn’t realize the types of journals there were or even what made up a “good” journal.
