Sam in Japan

I’ve been working on setting up a new bullet journal for 2018 – who knew this would be more difficult than starting from scratch with the first one?

One of the first, most useful pages, I think, is a yearly calendar. Because my new journal is going to be in a binder style, I can play with my watercolors a bit more, so I pulled them out to make this yearly page.

The dates in green are Japanese holidays, and the blue ones are birthdays or anniversaries. Can you believe we’ll have been married 10 years in 2018? Crazy.

Also, I am finding a bit more use for my washi tape. This was from a local artist from Yufuin, who draws cats in ukio-e (traditional Japanese woodblock print) style. I looooove it, and am glad I’m finally finding a use for it.

With some cleanup (and going and having it scanned nicely, as opposed to using my phone), I may make this a printable for your own bullet journal if you’d like!

I’m still debating if they would be useful as printables, so let me know what you think!
