How to keep a journal that brings you joy ft. @ella_nym

Welcome back to the Crafternoon Podcast hosted by Daisy ​⁠ @MyGreenCow and Meg ​⁠ @megjournals 📖✨

This week, Meg is joined by Chris from @ella_nym to talk about nurturing your creativity, finding a journaling system that works for you, and deconstructing Hobonichis (!) This was such a delightful conversation about how we can heal our inner artist, document the things that bring us joy, and show up as ourselves in the pages of our journals. Grab a cuppa and your journal or craft supplies, and join us for a crafternoon!

Chris is a poet & multi-disciplinary maker who publishes under the pseudonym Ella Nym. Living in rural Maine with her two cats (Freida and Suki), she is a handmade-website lover, lifelong learner, and devoted member of the "i-love-journaling" fan club.

Her making practice consists of experimenting with different mediums such as fiber arts, paper crafts, and more — usually with a focus on process over product, experimentation, and finding the beauty in everyday things. She documents her creative life at the intersection of digital and analog practices across YouTube, Substack (Nym's Notes), and Patreon.
