December Bullet Journal

For December, I wanted to make room for drawing in my bullet journal again.

The previous months had been busy, and my notebook pages were mostly practical lists.

Those lists did their job, but I missed doodling. I chose a few seasonal pages to enjoy alongside them.

I still used a separate planner for the week. These pages were for drawing and keeping a record of the month.

I started with a cover page. The D in December didn't turn out as I'd planned, so I kept going and let the rest of the design take shape around it.

For the mood tracker, I drew Christmas lights and added a colour key at the bottom. Each light gives me one place to record a day's mood.

Then I made a page of December doodles. Choosing more subjects became harder after the first few, so I looked through the familiar details of the season.

The page includes these drawings:

Snowman

Christmas wreath

Stocking

Reindeer

Angel

Candle

Christmas light

Santa's hat

Yule Log

Woven heart

Wrapped present

Shiny ball ornament

2 Winter mittens

2 Candy canes

Silver bell

Holly leaves

Christmas tree

Snowflake

Candle

Menorah

Glogg

Nutcracker

I enjoyed drawing this wreath. The images below show how I built up its shape.

For my planner cover, I drew poinsettia flowers with red ribbons.
