Fall crept up on us, don’t you think? To celebrate the start of the season, I put together a Fall Bucket List filled with activities I’m excited about. Summer was a heavy work season for me, and I didn’t make a lot of time to step away from work. This month, I asked my email newsletter community to keep me accountable to slow down and really do things that filled me up! Here’s a peek into what I’m excited about doing this season in my journal. Keep scrolling for a full list of ideas you can use for your own list and use the hashtag #bellabullet if you create one for yourself!
Supplies for the Fall Bucket List Bullet Journal
For this bullet journal spread, I used a May Designs mini bullet journal, Pilot G2 pens, and Crayola colored pencils. It took about 30 minutes to write and another 30 minutes to color everything in.
