Journal: Unbranded planner Medium(s): Acrylic paint, ink, colored pencils, some ephemera Status: Unfinished Notes: For each month, I summarized events on two pages, incorporating drawings, memes, ephemera, quotes, lyrics, and bits of writing. I kept this up for most of the year, but I never kept a journal quite like it again!
