Journaling for Joy

Babs Collective is welcoming you to our Monthly Creative Workshops. Join us for a cozy, hands-on experience designed for stationery lovers, journal keepers, ink enthusiasts, and anyone who finds joy in pen, paper, and the little details. Each month, we spotlight a different facilitator from the creative community—bringing their unique style, craft, and passion to the table.

For January 2026, the spotlight is on Justyna. She is a photographer, journaler, and creative guide who believes in slowing down and paying attention to the everyday. Her practice spans memory keeping, urban sketching, habit tracking, business planning, mood boarding, research, and creative brain dumps.

Through a growing collection of notebooks filled with scraps, doodles, thoughts, plans, and stickers, Justyna uses journaling as a way to stay mindful, spark inspiration, and preserve moments worth returning to. She invites others to see journaling not as perfection, but as a gentle, creative ritual for noticing and remembering.

Journaling for Joy is a playful, hands-on workshop for anyone curious about collecting and documenting the beauty of everyday life. Through guided prompts, creative exercises, and relaxed journaling time, we’ll explore simple, joyful ways to fill our notebooks and planners with moments that feel meaningful, grounding, and true to us.

Expect a cozy coffee-shop atmosphere surrounded by paper, stickers, ephemera, and creative tools. Together, we’ll cut, paste, doodle, write, and build a few journal spreads that celebrate what lights us up—pages designed to inspire you to keep returning to your notebook long after the workshop ends.

Each participant will receive a curated ephemera pack to get started. You’re also encouraged to bring your own journals, stickers, and favourite stationery supplies to make your pages uniquely yours.
