Travler's Notebook As a Bullet Journal | Planner

I've got my planning system for 2017 all set up in a Midori Travler's Notebook. Take a look at how I am using the current bullet journaling craze to keep myself organized in the new year. 

Snail Mail On The Go

For the past few months, I've been researching ways to take my snail mail supplies on the go with me. As a Letter Writers Alliance member, I am often involved in mail art meetups in my area. It's nice to be able to take favorite tools and stationery to share with others. 

I had an idea of what I wanted. I didn't want a travel case. I wanted a wooden tool box. Finally, this month, I found exactly what I was looking for in the form of an affordable art supply box. 

It is the perfect size and meets all my needs. For a more detailed view of the box, be sure to check out my video below. In addition to the wooden box, I also found a use for all those Altoids tins I've been saving. They are perfect for housing postage stamps, ink cartridges, calligraphy nibs, etc. 

With the help of some Instagram inspiration, I decided to alter my tins to look like mini parcels. It's amazing what some vintage stamps and Tim Holtz washi tape can do to add a special patina to those adorable little storage vessels.

Creative Snail Mail Storage

In the age of scaling down and living small, what is one to do with their beloved missives? I have a few creative ideas that will allow you to store your letters under the disguise of office and bookshelf decor. 

Most of my suggestions can be made by hand using items around your home. I've included a video with more detail as well as materials below. How do you archive mail you want to save? I'd love to know. 

Letters bound in a leather journal can be displayed along with books in your office or home library.

Decorative storage boxes can be used around the house. I like to decorate my letter boxes to look like vintage parcels and display them in my library.
