Yes, same here. I was taught NEVER to deface a book by writing in it, advice I have discarded like so many other useless restrictions. It is my opinion that the rise in junk journals and altered books has encouraged this trend.
I am most interested in your usages, especially the Bullet Journal-esqe idea. Please share when possible.
I have wanted for some time to work up an altered journal honoring the memory of my dear late mother, but have not worked out a design. Perhaps I am stalling as I fear I will not do her memory justice.
Cheers, Jean
