Journaling before the world wakes up
July 3, 2026
Sitting in my corner spot on my office couch early this morning — coffee in hand, candle lit, rain pouring down and thunder booming — I began my daily ritual of morning pages.
This time is one of the single most important things I do each day. My everything journal is a place that I come back to many times throughout the day. It's a place that...
- grounds me in the present
- is safe to release spiraling thoughts
- allows me to reflect
- helps me plan for the day ahead
Journals hold a very special place in my everyday life. And there is no one size fits all. Not one specific journal type for every person. And not one specific journal for every occasion!
This week I have very actively been preparing for my 14-week class, BB Art Journals Masterclass. I've been...
- making several kinds of beads
- creating mastersheets
- making handmade paper, again 😉
- slow stitching with hand dyed fabric + thread
- updating sections of the class workbook
- and more!
And this has me so excited to welcome people in and guide them through my creative process (and practice) and help them create art journals that fill their shelves and their hearts. Maybe you'll be one of those people! join the waitlist

The next cohort of my annual 14-week experience, BB Art Journals Masterclass, will be starting soon!
The doors will open at the beginning of August and won't open again until 2027.
This class is about so much more than creating an art journal. It's about building a creative, process-first practice that puts play, experimentation, and curiosity first. It's about building creative confidence, learning to trust your artistic instincts, and actually enjoying the process — all while building up a repertoire of techniques and intuitive methods that guarantee finished, cohesive projects and results that are undeniably, uniquely your own.
TL;DR; this post contained the following:
