How I Do Daily Pages: @carolannewall
When did you start creating Daily Pages/How long have you been creating Daily Pages?
My first Daily Pages were made in the summer of 2018.

How/Why did you get started creating Daily Pages?
I heard Kristin speak about her practice on CAF, and it sounded like a way to get some creative juices rolling.  I’d get up 15 minutes early and do a  Daily Page before I went to work.  My pages weren’t always daily, but I enjoyed the practice when I made time for it.  I’d take a small kit with me when I’d go out of town, or at home I would make a reflection page based on something I was reading.

What are your favorite notebooks to use for Daily Pages? Why?
I always return back to the Field Notes books, after my experiments with other sizes. Â My absolute favorite Daily Page book was the composition notebook. Â It was huge, but I had lots of space to play.

What are 3 of your most used Daily Pages supplies?
- My 8×8 Fab File with paper scraps that are too small for a scrapbook page.
- Washi tape
- Die cuts and stickers
Do you have a typical Daily Pages routine? Does it change?
I’m part of the M-F Noon Eastern Daily Pages Zoom.  I might have an idea about what I am going to do before the Zoom, but frequently I just wing it.

Where do you create your Daily Pages? What is that space like?
I have a small open office space on the second floor of our house, about 6 x 8 feet.  It contains all my scrapbooking and stamping stuff, plus a college refrigerator and a Keurig.  It’s a tight space, but it’s mine.  I just have to keep it clean.

What is one tip you can give to someone getting started with Daily Pages?
Tell your inner editor to take a hike.  Really, they’re not needed.  Daily Pages are all about experimentation, not creating something perfect every time.
