This is the first time in my life finishing up a traveler's notebook insert.  I have been in and out of TN several times and never stay long enough to finish up a booklet.  Now I have my TN set up the way I love and willing to commit.  It is easier to talk through via YouTube video to show my setup, journal flip and journaling favorites.  Things I have been using for the past 3 months in my journal.  This will be good for beginners as most of the items are basic and easy to get.  You can watch the video HERE or below People I mentioned Instagram Inspiration: https://www.instagram.com/yu_techo/ Little Raven's Ink Patron https://www.patreon.com/LittleRavenInk Things I mentioned Pentel Aquash Water Brushes https://amzn.to/2NceEoC Prima Marketing Watercolor Classics https://amzn.to/2CdcHUG Pilot G2 0.38 Pen https://amzn.to/2NE8BpS Prismacolor Marker https://amzn.to/2wCk1Up Winsor Newton Watercolor Set https://amzn.to/2N7Qc7L
