Hello @wendolonia! I really admire your patience and dedication, it's amazing how you can work out every detail. I've seen women doing their cookbooks, hand written, decorated with drawings or photos, like a scrapbook. That's always a very good motivator, at least that's how feel but unfortunately have never had the time to start creating one.
Your journal looks great, you should consider creating more to sell. I'm sure people would buy them. Great job!
