I bought this super cool art bin a few month’s ago while out for lunch with my friend, Sal. She and I hit up Curry’s, as we often do, and this bin called my name. I thought I might do some kind of traveler’s kit with it so that I could indulge in some ‘out of the house’ art adventures, but you know what happened? I brought it home and didn’t look at it again.It got put on top of a very high bookshelf because I had zero room for it anywhere else, and I totally forgot it existed.
A few months after, Sal and I were out for lunch again, and this time, we hit up Micheal’s. I picked up some stuff for my BuJo – some stamps, stickers, and a few other things – and I said “I have no idea where I’m going to put all this stuff. This BuJo thing is getting out of hand!” and she reminded me of the art bin I bought months ago. My BuJo Bin got put together that very afternoon, and I’ve been using it ever since.
Check this out!
Before: I kept everything in a large tote bag and just dumped it out when I wanted to play.
After – Ahhhhhhhhh. Both my inner child (who has always loved boxes of things like this) and my inner Libra are verra verra happy with this.
So, without further ado, here is a video walk through of my Sweet Trash + Bujo Journals, My new Tarot Journal, and My Bujo Bin! Enjoy!
I’ve added the BuJo stuff to the Sweet Trash Journal Class I produced (for free!) last year! You can have the whole class if you like! Just click through this image to register.
See you tomorrow!!

About The Blog Along
Every year, twice a year, once in April, and again in September, I blog every day for a month, and invite others to do the same. We have a Facebook group, and in that group the only rule is that for every link you post to your own blog, you go off and read three other blogs and leave a comment. This is simply a way to ensure that a community happens rather than just a ‘promo’ group. You’re welcome to join in as long as you are willing to read and comment on three blogs for every blog you post. Click here to join us! If you’re too busy for that, you’re welcome to just blog on your own for a month. Easy peasy. No one is keeping score. There are no prizes except that you get to build your own readership by regularly populating your blog with good content.

You are so giving!! It’s awesome. I love the art bin and need one now too since my STJ hasn’t become a big thing for me since January. I was skeptical but it’s almost full and it’s so much fun. I’ll have to go back through the videos to see the bujo part in full. Have a great day! <3
Nope! You will NOT enable me to buy one. more. thing! LOL Loving the BujoBin!!!
Love your BuJo bin set up! Future goals for me :)
Your work is wonderful as always. Thanks for sharing and giving us a sneak peek!!
Love that blujo art bin! And I’m in awe of all that you manage to pack into your days!
The Sweet Trash journal class is calling my name. I’ve been adding sketching to my written journal, but this looks like play and lord knows I need to play. You have so many offerings I’m eager to try. My new rule is to take on only what I can commit to and not quit. I feel just awful when I sign up and then don’t finish. I will consider this one just for the fun of it. Thank you so very much for all you share, Effy. x
I really appreciate your transparency and beautiful art that you share so often :)
I need one of these, I just love all those compartments 😂
oh man. I have container envy! I’m not quite sure about bujo yet, but I like how you’ve made it your own with the magical notebook. very cool. I wonder why the new notebooks don’t bloom like the past ones. that’s weird! <3
This box could belong to Mary Poppins ! ahah
Can’t wait to sit down and watch your video. I tried bullet journaling but suck at it :(
