Hi.

Welcome to A Pocketful of Licorice, my memory-keeping, art-journaling, book-reading, world-traveling blog. I'm Anja. Nice to meet you.

Last month’s trip to Europe was one for the books, and I’m missing Southern France hard at the moment. Travel documenting is my favorite because I get to remember all the moments and details. At present, I don’t have the time to put together a full album. That’ll have to wait until summer vacation. But I did print out a few of my favorite photos and start putting them in a traveler’s notebook. This is so much faster because I don’t feel constrained by chronology and the traveler’s notebook is a pre-printed one from Studio Calico, so I don’t have to think about color scheme or theme. It’s all been done for me. Here’s what I’ve done so far…

That’s all I’ve got so far, just a few quick memories captured. I love traveler’s notebooks for that. They satisfy my craving to document and tide me over until I have time to do it properly.

Thanks for stopping by!
