(Updated with new ideas from Lady North. Scroll down to see how the mini dream journal can be a star booklet with pockets for ATC's or a magical dream votive holder!)
I was so inspired by Wendy Fedan's mini gratitude book that I couldn't resist designing a mini journal. This journal contains the prompts that I use weekly to check-in and keep my dream wheels in motion.
This journal is designed to encourage you to keep track of your accomplishments, to celebrate all that you do, and to make plans for reaching your goals. The best part about the size of this journal (aside from it looking so darn cute) is that it forces you to keep it SIMPLE.

But wait there is more!
You have to check out what my very sweet and clever soul sister, Lady North did with the mini dream journal. She rearranged the pages and folded it into a star book! Just fold, and add one little cut and you have a booklet. No ribbons, brads, or staples needed!
I love what she did so much that I tweaked the layout so the little pages line up when you fold it.

Swing by Lady North's blog to get the instructions on how to fold your star booklet. She also posted some clever ideas on how to adapt the journal to add pockets to tuck in ATC's. She even made it into a magical dream votive holder!
The best gift for me is spontaneous creativity like this. If you have been inspired to get creative with the mini dream journal or anything that I post, please share it! Know that your creative spark lights the way for others.
Thank you darling Lady North for sharing this fabulous mini dream journal alternative.
Feel free to share the mini dream journal with your friends. Print copies and give them out. Post a link to it on your blog or on FB. Tuck them in stockings or holiday cards. Keep saying YES! to your dreams.

Many thanks to SARK for being a HUGE inspiration. SARK's Dream Boogie classes are a great way to help you go from dreaming to doing. I highly recommend any of SARK's offerings on her website, Planet SARK.











I saw your post on the NaBloPoMo site, and just had to drop by to tell you that journal is just too cute! I actually just discovered SARK a few weeks ago, and have been trying out miniactions in my life. So far, so good!

Lovely little journal. I used to write down all my dreams. Might need to start doing it again.
Thanks, also for the SARK recommendation. I've long been a fan of SARK and am glad to know that her classes are so helpful.

I love this! What a treat for our eyes and our souls; thank you for your generosity.
And I'm so glad that Donna "The English Teacher" got here before me... those apostrophes seem to be like minnows for so many people!

Thanks for the dream journal. I work at a shelter for family violence and often create my own creative ways to engage the women I work with. It is nice to find something that will inspire them like this. From me and the ladies I work with, THANK YOU.

You ought to add a note that if you have a dial-up connection it ain't going to work. It takes forever to download and then when its done nothing shows up on the screen.

Feeling slightly challenged in the folding :-). Can you point me to instructions for folding these little beauties? Thank you!
