I am not a journaler as most of you know by looking at my pages. I also don't tend to date them.
For me, it's because I tend to ramble and most of my pages are only 1 or 2 photos. Plus I'm pretty boring so not much to say. If I'm doing a vacation album then there is journaling. . . . .which reminds me I need to get on my 2017 trip to Ireland done
