Am I wrong?
Well. I may be wrong in that I am sure we can discover more reasons than that for the benefits of a travelers journal.

The Travelers Journal Kit is all boxed up and ready with 24 items sweetly packaged together.
The kit includes the faux gold leather cover. A notebook insert. A clear acrylic stamp set with 25 stamps. An acrylic block. A black mini ink pad. A black pen. and then the gift box, ribbon plus gift tag.
This, as with much of the collection, easily pairs well with other Handmade by Heidi Kits. Like the Washi Kit as displayed here on these pages.

Traveler Journals continue to be on trend. These journals continue to be useful as perfect gateways to story telling, memory making, as well as memory keeping. All the paper crafter and memory keepers best conduits.

And remember the cute part? I love the stylish feel of the faux gold leather cover. The insert is a grid pattern which is  favorite of mine. This makes it super easy to make lists. The cutey stamp set includes a bullet point box! Yes!!! I know!!! For all of us with the need to check the box!!! I die.

Don’t know about you, but I am always hearing or seeing ideas or quotes or thoughts that need to be written down. I need more than just the Notes app on my phone. So the idea that this notebook is perfect to be thrown in my back pack for the day and off I go. Totally suits me and my current very mobile life style.

When I say travelers journals are customizable here’s what I mean. The inside pages are blank. Like a canvas. Begging us to fill in those pages with all our top secret and not so top secret notes (laundry to-do list anyone?). The grid pages hold washi tape. Bullet pointed lists. Quotes. These can be dressed up or down. Totally up to us. And if indeed these sweet notebooks are hitting the road with us…then ephemera can find homes on these pages too. I love that.

And I did mention lists? right!?!  Oh how I love lists!!! And with a stamp set that not only includes a cut little box image, but there is also a circle bullet point. But wait, there’s more…AND…there is a cute check mark icon as well as an ‘X’ marks the spot icon. I know. I get a little silly about all this perfectly suited embellishments for my endless lists.

Here’s the thing. Traveler’s Journals are just so very accommodating for all the things. It’s endless what our crafty minds will find to place in those beloved pages. It’s without limit. As a matter of fact, my theory is that these pages will actually grow your creativity and ideas just by virtue of the fact there is a beautiful home to hold them all.
