{"product_id":"grace-notes-journal-by-christen-hammons","title":"Grace Notes Journal","description":"\u003cp\u003eI used to be an avid journaler, but after spending my days writing articles and letters from the editor, I’m usually fresh out of ideas when I sit down to write for myself. I’ve been itching to get back into it and realized I needed to take a different approach to journaling than I have in the past.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBefore I would fill page after page with my thoughts and feelings. I could write for hours! I just don’t have that kind of time anymore and I’m not always feeling inspired. Luckily, working on \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/bella-grace\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eBella Grace\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e has really opened up my eyes to new ways of writing. Why write a four-page entry when a simple list will do? Sometimes a quote might describe my mood better than my own words ever could. And as much as I love writing the prompts for the magazine, I thought it’d be a good idea to write some for myself, just in case the creative well runs dry (as it often does).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eArmed with my favorite Moleskine journal, I got to work. Using my fingers I spread a layer of blue paint across the cover and let it dry. I then added a pretty postcard to the front and attached it with washi tape. Because I was inspired by \u003cem\u003eBella Grace\u003c\/em\u003e, I decided to name my journal “Grace Notes.”\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eInside, I added journal flaps by taping notecards to the spine with washi tape. There, I could record short thoughts or simple quotes. I also added prompts to the tops of several pages. And just for fun and to finally use some of my stash, I added washi tape tabs to some of the pages.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWith this journal, I have plenty of blank pages to record long entries as well as notecards for some shorter ones. No matter what my journaling needs are, this will fit the bill!\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino;\"\u003eAbout the Artist:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eChristen Hammons is the Director of Publishing for Stampington \u0026amp; Company and editor-in-chief\u003cbr\u003eof \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/bella-grace\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eBella Grace\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/somerset-life\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eSomerset Life\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e, and \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/somerset-studio\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eSomerset Studio\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eInterests: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eart, slow food, writing, books, yarn, authentic living\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFollow Christen on Twitter: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/christeno\"\u003e@christeno\u003c\/a\u003e \u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e| \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eon Instagram: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/instagram.com\/christenhammons\/\"\u003e@christenhammons\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Free Projects","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45452526354583,"sku":"PROJ-0963","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0659\/5546\/3319\/files\/PROJ-0963__94940.1558403572.1280.1280.jpg?v=1746793278","url":"https:\/\/stampington.live\/products\/grace-notes-journal-by-christen-hammons","provider":"Stampington \u0026 Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
