A Year-End Journaling Workshop: Paper Memory Ornaments
Description
Come hang out with me for a slow, relaxed afternoon of journaling. We’ll look back on your year and make paper memory ornaments from the moments, wins and small joys of 2026, then hang them up, tuck them into your journal or wrap them up as gifts.
Think of it as a catch up with your journal, a drink in hand and good company around the table. Whether you journal every day, haven’t picked up a notebook in years, or joined me at an earlier workshop, there’s a spot for you. If a blank page has ever made you freeze, the prompt cards will get you going. Just come as you are :)
What We Will Explore
📝 Year in Review Prompts: Easy-to-follow prompt cards to help you fill your page with favourite moments, small wins and a wish for next year.
🎁 Paper Memory Ornaments: Turn your favourite memories into 3 to 5 ornaments, doodled on the front and written on the back, ready to hang up, tuck into your journal or wrap up as gifts.
✏️ Fresh Journaling Ideas: Doodle and washi tape tricks to make your page look finished, whether you’re new to journaling or a regular.
