Journaling Question About This Page:

[stretch2864]

I'm just wondering...when you journal, do you handwrite out your entries or do you use the computer? If you do it on the computer, what are your favorite fonts to use? Also do you journal as you go along or do you wait until your pages are all done and journal the entire album at once? I decided to wait to journal until the end, but I can't decide if I should do all of my journaling on the computer or not.

I usually take notes (and photos) on site for later recollection on computer. My notes usually are one or two words, unless I feel need to elaborate. My journal font is Garmond.

I journal by hand as I go along (for the most part). I've been toying with printing a page to introduce our December trip since there's a lot of backstory. I personally believe that my handwriting is part of the "art" of it and that my children will appreciate it when I'm not around to tell the stories anymore.

I journal on the computer on the page facing the scrapbook page. I try to do the headline in a font which reflects the mood of the pictures opposite, and do the actual journaling in Arial. I do have a few 2-page spreads (mostly of parades and other similar events, like "Festival of the Lion King"), and the journaling is done on the page preceding those. What I've ended up with is an actual book, with lots of reading and lots of pictures. BTW, I do 8 1/2 X 11 pages as a rule...

I prefer handwriten journaling for my scrapbooks.
I purchased a small spiral Disney notebook during a WDW trip last summer to record our activities. Each evening I recorded the day's events, special moments, favorite rides, magical sayings, etc. I referred to this when creating scrapbook. I was surprised how much I had forgotten and so glad I had recorded while fresh on our minds! I also use it to store all the wonderful little headings, magical sayings, theme notes, quotes, tidbits of information like "Did you Know? Factoids, etc. It's been very handy.

I do most of my journaling by computer. I figure that in the future, it will be nicer for my decendents to be able to READ my words which they may not if I hand write it. I am the queen of fonts, so I use a lot of different fonts for journaling. Mostly they are casual and sort of look like hand printing only neater. I usually journal while I'm doing a page, so that it fits in. If I wait until later, it might not get done.

I do this very thing as well! I find that if I don't, I rarely remember all of the little details that made the trip so magical! I do most of my journaling on the computer for my scrapbooks. I find that I can fit more of the "story" into my scrapbooks that way. My favorite font is CK Journaling or CK Curly.
