My new slightly later than mid year BuJo and Setting up for August – birthday balloons theme

Laura

Jul 31

I've just finished my previous bullet journal and I'm excited to be moving in to a brand new notebook. This one is again from Notebook Therapy but the cover is white vegan leather with a beautiful butterfly on the front and gilded edges to the pages. I'm already wondering how long it will stay mark free for!

As we're off on holiday shortly I'm going to keep this post picture heavy with minimal explanation. If you want to know anything about the spreads you can always ask in the comments.

Vision board

I love how my vision board turned out. Some of the goals are ongoing from earlier in the year, some are new aspirations.

August calendar pages

My niece and our share our birthdays on the 3rd August so I've gone for a birthday balloons theme I haven't managed to get chance to do the front cover page yet but it will feature lots of colourful balloons in the colour palette used for the calendar.

Reading log

A space for me to record books read in August and September and rate them out of 5 hearts.

When did I last? spread

I found this really useful in my previous bullet journal, particularly for stuff that doesn't get done that often so I've created a slightly more compact version.

Packing list

I do one of these every time we go away and refer back to previous ones each time. Obviously things depend on the season where we're going and how long for but there are some items I take on each holiday. The lists help me feel more organised and mean I don't forget things.

Final words...

I hope you've enjoyed looking at my new bullet journal and my spreads. I'll be sure to add the cover page to the post at a later date when I've had time to create it. Wishing you all a wonderful August.
