Journaling Articles & Ideas

I know that scrapbookers often struggle with journaling in their scrapbooks. They give so many reasons: they don't know what to say; they don't like their handwriting; they think what they write sounds stupid. These are all completely valid points, because that's exactly how many scrapbookers feel. But it doesn't have to be that way! You can include meaningful journaling on your scrapbook layouts, without feeling like you're pulling your own teeth! Read some of these articles on incorporating journaling on your layouts, and feel some measure of peace.
