Building a theme for your specific months...
Building a theme for your specific month can be a little challenging it’s a little hard to decide on because you might want to do a bunch of different ideas or a bunch of different designs however just keep in the back of your mind that all of your designs can be spread out within 12 months and then a new year. Remember to also take your time and planning and just be creative with it because bullet journals aren’t supposed to be something that’s stressful but it’s some thing that is a peaceful rallies and a relaxing way to be creative.Unless you like me who worries about the straightness of a line or the different colors not matching. Unless you like me who worries about the straightness of a line or the different colors not matching Hahahha. For my theme I decided on flowers and neutral colors. Again it was inspired by pinterest which now that I think about I think has become my number one go-to. But I love how simplistic it is as well as very festive and interesting. I am not an artist so I was super worried about the leaves not looking right or if it was too big for the page. Which is why I always recommend outlining in pencil first or if you are super confident then you can go right into using a pen and marker/highlighter. What I love about Midliners are that they are so light when you color and they don't smudge or leak to the back of the page which is super useful.

I decided to start my monthly journal in September because I wanted to use my bullet journal for life purposes but mostly school purposes. And since school starts in september... Also it gave me a lot of time to plan ahead which I liked. I actually started bullet journaling during August and started at the end of August. It may take time but it is totally worth it. Although I didn't know calligraphy, I faked it using a midliner and traced it with a pencil which actually helped me practice for handlettering and calligraphy the right way. Starting off the month isn't as bad as I thought and I was actually really proud of the way that it turned out. I can tell that this year is going to be super organized! I need to be organized!
