Here we go:
Of course I decorated the back of the journal too:
And here's the whole journal standing up with the written pages attached with paperclips:
I like how it turned out, compact and simple and yet overflowing with images and impressions.
I do enjoy having special journals for my trips and vacations. It takes a bit of an effort while you are away. I worked in the journal every morning and night during my Texel vacation, writing and prepping it for the photographs I took during the day. But it really is worth it to have a tangible memory of your own making when you get home.
Another thing about keeping a journal when you are on vacation is that it makes you extra aware of your surroundings. You are literally keeping a written and visual record of the things you encounter and that helps you to keep your senses open for everything around you. It makes the vacation itself a richer experience. At least that's how it works for me.
Hope you enjoyed my Texel Journal and wishing you a wonderful and artsy day!
