a vestige of thought...

I am obcessed with journals. I have been writing every day since I was ten and have accumulated a huge collection. The following is a description of each journal and where I got it:

1. Small Winnie the Pooh journal; got one for Becky for Christmas and bought one for myself at the same time (from the Disney store)
2. Blue with hot air balloons all over it; I think this came from Borders or something, but I don't quite remember.
3. Black with the American Girl logo in different colors all over it; a Christmas gift from my parents.
4.Pink with pawprints and pictures of kittens on it; in my Easter basket
5.Purple with WWJD on the front; another Christmas gift
