A Complete Avalanche of Halloween Ephemera | Getting Ready for October Journaling

It’s time to get ready for Halloween journaling, and apparently, I have been collecting Halloween ephemera for years.

In this video, I’m finally attempting to organize my enormous collection of Halloween and October-inspired stickers, washi tape, paper ephemera, notepads, vintage-inspired pieces, and all the other spooky-season treasures I’ve accumulated. Everything is going into one little Hello Kitty basket so that when inspiration strikes, all of my Halloween journaling supplies are within reach.

I’m sharing some of my favorite finds from places like Starseed Homestead, Alley Crafts, Michaels, Sticky, In the Land of Elsewhere, craft shows, the Punk Rock Flea Market, and a few unexpected places — including last year’s McDonald’s Boo Buckets.

There’s cute Halloween, spooky Halloween, vintage Halloween, questionable Halloween, and at least one scary clown sticker that absolutely had to be covered up.

I’m also trying to embrace one of the biggest lessons I’ve learned from journaling: stop saving the good stuff. The beautiful sticker doesn’t need a perfect page. The weird sticker doesn’t need a special occasion. Use the things you love and make the page. When I look back at my journals, I love the imperfect pages just as much as the carefully planned ones.

So grab your Halloween journals, pull out your October supplies, and let’s get ready for a spooky season of creativity.

What Halloween image, color, character, or aesthetic has you completely obsessed this year?

And if you have a genius way of organizing your journaling ephemera, I want to hear it.

Happy October, and happy Halloween journaling!
