There's something about a room full of people working on their craft together that fills the heart with joy.
Tables are covered with notebooks wide open. Stickers, tapes, scissors, and other tools of the trade take up the remaining space.
Hands are busy writing, sticking, or stamping. Eyes are sparkling at the sight of a good find. Hearts are pouring. Minds are at peace.
It's magic in a very real and tactile sense.
And you made it happen last Saturday.
Thank you so much for joining and supporting our very first journal hangout. It's my first time to organize a gathering like this and I'm so relieved that it was met warmly. 💛
Even though I wasn't able to journal as much, the sight of you all working on your pages, enjoying the food, and getting giddy at the stationery buffet was all I needed.
Besides, journal hangouts aren't just about the act of journaling. We can all do it at home or in a café alone, but there's something special about journaling with others.
Doesn't matter if they're friends or strangers. Connecting with people over a shared hobby, geeking out over stationery, and feeling welcome in a community—that's what gatherings like this are for.
Much love and thanks to for inviting us to their home, keeping us fed, and giving us the space to come together.
Thank you to for adding a layer of sensory goodness to our pages through your lovely blend of scents.
Thank you to .co for adding a fun activity to the event and providing pretty folios and pouches for our notebooks.
And of course, to you, who spent your Saturday with us, salamat. 🙏
Forever grateful to all of the beautiful people who make up this amazing community. Til our next event!
Love, Nine 🌞
