Beautiful Ellie Claire Journals

Faith and Lettering was probably my favorite of the three journals. I loved the look of the cover, the place to put your pen on the outside, and the room on the inner pages to be creative either in journaling or drawing. The pages contain verses and lettering and other tips for writing creatively. It is so pretty. It's a beautiful hard back with indented letters.
