❝It is like whispering to one’s self and listening at the same time❞

It’s finally time to reveal the cover of my Sterling Ink b6 horizontal. The gilded edges looked so magical, I just had to create a fairytale look. This quote from Dracula about journaling seemed perfect and the unicorn was inspired by The Unicorn Tapestries.

On my birthday, one of my friends said: “I wanted to get you a copy of Carmilla, but then I realized that you probably already own a pretty copy.” And she was right🙂‍↕️ One of the prettiest books I own, inside and outside.

🎵2024 playlist🎵

Lol @ Fergalicious on nr. 88.

Anyone else look back at the playlist of 2024 and think it’s not accurate at all? I very often loop one to five songs on repeat (for one specific part) until I get sick of them. But here’s no way I listened to Backstreet Boys’ Everybody so often it’s on nr. 15😳

Week 52 in my Hobonichi Weeks. The last weekly spread in this little book… I watched Squid Game season 2 and played games with a friend who made me a great elderflower mocktail.

I also fell in love with these Christmas cookies 🤭

Week 48 in my Hobonichi Weeks. My new journal finally arrived after being stuck in customs for 25 days, and I was very excited to finally have it so of course I wrote about it. Gotta practice my cursive more often…

Week 47 in my Hobonichi Weeks. It was one of those weeks where many small things bothered me, so I just had to vent lol. It’s a pretty boring spread, so there’s a surprise Cherry at the end to make up for it🤭

Week 45 in my Hobonichi Weeks. Got some good grades, finished Dracula through Dracula Daily, started watching The Handmaid’s Tale, and ate a whole pomegranate.

The past few weeks I was quite busy with university assignments and readings, so I have to catch up on a lot of journaling (9 spreads to be exact omg). Here’s some of the stuff I made and cut out two days ago. I won’t be able to finish all the spreads before the end of the year🥲 I like everything to be in chronological order, so I will continue to post 2024 journal spreads for a while. I hope to get through everything asap. In the meantime, I can also finally start my new journal!! I have some nice ideas brewing in my head, so I can’t wait to see how the book will become my companion in 2025.

Week 44 in my Hobonichi Weeks. I tried new recipes (not very successfully), went to the dentist, and drew jack-o-lantern faces on mandarins.

❝The story had held us, round the fire, sufficiently breathless, but except the obvious remark that it was gruesome, as, on Christmas Eve in an old house, a strange tale should essentially be,❞

Reading The Turn of the Screw today because it begins on Christmas Eve👻 Did not realize until I started this book that it takes place at Bly Manor, which means that the last two book I will finish this year, this one and The Haunting of Hill House, are books that were adapted into tv shows. I guess I should watch The Haunting of Hill House & The Haunting of Bly Manor next. (Has anyone seen it? Is it good?)

I hope everyone has a relaxing and joyful break❤️ Happy holidays!
